Announcement

Does anyone know where I can obtain a chart to "Tanguedia III" by Astor Piazzolla? The piece is on Tango: Zero Hour and Gary has recorded it on his Libertango CD. I've searched several online sheet music retailers with no luck, so if anyone has a link to where I can buy it, I appreciate it!

It's one of the Piazzolla pieces that I think I could play on a gig - like Oblivion and a few others.

Hey everyone,

Tony will be playing in Amsterdam on the 4th of february. So this is a few days before the workshops. If any of you guys are coming to the workshop, maybe you should consider coming on thursday to catch this gig. It'll be fun.

Tony will be playing with some friends of mine that have a great trio. Check them out at: http://www.jurriaanberger.nl/ewohome.htm

One of our members from Australia will be in Philadelphia for a few days, so I thought we should set up a vibe hang!

Who's going to play? Come on! How about some new people as well as the veterans!

I'll be playing with Elio Villafranca quartet Featuring Grant Stewart on sax.

For my (Tony Miceli) part of the workshop I'll cover many of the things that I cover here.

Stride Vibes
Lines (clarity)
Learning Tunes
Playing Tunes in 12 keys (How easy it really is)

I'm always interesting in talking about getting players to break down there playing and see where they are at. This is great for practicing, that is learning how to find where you're at with something and then build on it. Too many players jump right in and build on confusion. To me that's no good.

The first workshop of 2010 will take place at the Vanderplas Baileo factory in Sassenheim, Netherlands.

Location: Wattstraat 48, 2171 TR Sassenheim, Netherlands
Price: If you pay in advance: €100 per day (€200 total)
If you pay at the workshop: €130 per day

Here is another video of Manhattan Vibes. I really love this intro he plays on All the Things. Well it's actually a really quick solo version of he whole tune in 7/8.

The rest of the video is more of a compilation of different parts of their concert.

The intro is also on their cd, so check it out. This has been on my transcribe list for a while... maybe I should get to it!
