I have a version of this piece and love it. Great to hear MJQ playing it. I didn't know they played it!

I think this is so well written for the instruments! Some times I hear composed or arranged pieces and think that the composer really doesn't know the instrument. This is a classical piece. I really think the Anders Kopel understands the…

It's interesting going on Youtube and listening to vibe players around the world. I'll hear a player that is the top player in this country or that country. For me though sometimes those players don't shine. I like the guys who know the…

Wow! Someone I think put some time into this. It's a great bluesy solo that looks messy on paper! Great job writing all that down. I don't know if I would even know how to write it all down!

Moving scales, arpeggios, licks, little pieces of a tune is a great exercise for your brain and your musical 'overview' of things. In other words just get used to seeing things in different places. This doesn't matter what level you are at…

| One of the things I find most inspiring about this site is the generosity with which everybody shares their knowledge, experience, ideas, opinions, and passion for this instrument we all love so much. Beyond the pure joy of hearing and…

H1CH on Stella. Really trying to focus in on playing the changes. How did I do? Each week I've been learning/re-learning tunes to make sure I really know them. Trying to really understand the chord scales in tunes and extensions I can use…
