Hey all, he may not be a vibes player, but Herbie Hancock is an artist I'm guessing we all love, admire, and have been influenced by...
so here's my review of his new autobiography, "Possibilities". Hope you enjoy it

Here's a new clip that we just recorded in my home studio this past Sunday. Mark and I have been playing duo gigs for awhile now. He came over to hang and play some tunes. Playing duo with upright bass is a lot of fun.
Been working on this tune for a few weeks and find it so difficult to improvise over but got a little bit of a solo going over pentatonic scales for the first three choruses and then I try and be more free on last chorus. Lots to do on…
This beautiful ballad by Mercer Ellington is, I believe, not well known. Bill Evans and Eddie Gomez recorded it on the album Intuition, which is where I discovered it. I love the simplicity of the melody supported by those rich chords.…
Practicing improvisation on Cole Porter's "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To". Mixing up improvisational techniques including Four Note Groupings, Pentatonic Scales and Upper Structure Triads/7th chords.

I realize I’m a bit late to the party, as the book was released in 2013, but having just voraciously devoured Learning to Listen: The Jazz Journey of…
Playing East of the Sun with a nod to some of my favorite "older style" pianists (Art Tatum, Errol Garner, George Shearing, Oscar Peterson, Dave McKenna and Teddy Wilson).
Two choruses of My One and Only Love with chord changes from Chick Corea. More solo piano videos (Over The Rainbow, Danny Boy and Tennessee Waltz) at Ed Saindon Piano channel on YT. Also, clips are up on Ed Saindon Piano page on FB. You…
Hello everyone, if anyone is interested in writing an article for the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes, please email me for the details and to discuss possible topics. The article could be on topics associated with the…
This etude is based on the harmony of All the things you are. The idea is to play a basic structure of the chord (most of the time 3-7) with the Left Hand while the Right Hand is playing broken chords using some extensions of the chords or…
