I humbly post this video of Exercise number 7. I would be very happy to get any input or advice.

Thank you, John Grant

What do you think?

One of the classic Christmas songs composed in 1945 by Mel Torme with lyrics by Bob Wells. Happy Holidays!

Check out Mickey Rooney.

I think he played pretty good vibes. Well based on a few bars.

An Amazing Trio

This is a song written by J. Ballue the pianist of my 4tet.

"Have You Met Miss Jones" - A little practice today with the application of a few improv concepts from my four volume series The Complete Guide To Improvisation.

Hi All,
Tune in on Sunday, December 3rd at 8:00p eastern for the next edition of Good Vibes.
You know all those good feelings you have during the winter holidays? Vibes player Jay Hoggard wants us to keep "Christmas Vibes All Through the Year," James Shipp makes his debut on GV with clarinetist Anat Cohen on her new album, "Happy." Dave Stryker and Steve Nelson team up on their new album, Strikin' Ahead. Warren Wolf, Joe Locke, Hendrik Meurkens, Terry Gibbs, Gary Burton have some great music to share with you, and many others.

Stardust - Revisiting this classic composed by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Mitchell Parish. Here's one of the versions that I came up with today while doing a little practicing at home. Throughout the clip, I incorporated some voicings covered in my new book "Voicing Concepts for the Jazz Vibist" now available from Amazon. Having fun trying out some different voicings and a little reharm here and there. Putting the book together and coming up with the concepts and examples helped my playing in terms of expanding my voicing vocabulary.
