Let's wrap up rhythm changes this week. Yeah??? I've worked so hard on them the last couple months.

Maybe we just move into the world of bebop and see where that takes us, via etudes and whatever else.

This is not vibes but I think it's a great musical lesson: I discovered this tune today, after listening to a recent interview of Joe Locke where he speaks about it. I heard the Julie London & Shirley Horn versions with lyrics, the Miles/Evans' instrumental. But man when I hear this version I remain speachless: I've never been a great saxophone fan, but to me Michael Brecker here can make the words speak deeper than the lyrics themself... Wow... Enjoy

I discovered this video thanks to Christos Rafalides. I always loved this piece written by Joe Locke, but had never heard it by anyone else but him, and never as a solo piece! It gives it another dimension! Congrats to the performer, Dan!

here is a video from my last release album

Hi everybody,

Here is a link on you tube to my new album. I hope you like it!

Arturo Serra - Bobby! www.newstepsrecords.com

This my last release my humble tribute to one of the masters. To me it is a double tribute to Bobby Hutcherson as a vibes player and Bobby Hutcherson as a composer.

German publisher Advance Music just released a follow up book to my previous release Rhythmic Exploration in Improvisation. The new book is titled Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation.

While the primary focus of Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation is on polyrhythms, the book also covers other additional important rhythms that are useful for the improviser. Extensive syncopated rhythmic figures (via the use of rests, dotted notes and ties), mixed rhythmic figures and partial subdivision are also covered which are beneficial to today’s improviser.

Enjoy !
They have another great tune on Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn2-juE1A_s&feature=relmfu

Hey,
a couple of days ago, I hit by accident a combination I thought was interesting. It led to this.

I hope you like it.
Stefan,
