Hi guys, here's another clip from this past Sunday's session with Mark Carlsen on bass. We're doing Jobim's classic Wave.

Enjoy !

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.

it is necesary any comment?

I too would like to give my little contribution on our new TOTM and post a lesson... A great lesson!
Enjoy, work hard, and post your version based on it!! ;-)

So I think a bunch of us should go nuts and make a commitment to rhythm changes.

If there was a good commitment we could even plan some things. Maybe get some guys over here and do a vibe hang where we play ONLY rhythm changes or variants of!!!

How about one head many keys every 4 days!

Lots of ideas. Who would practice the crap out of rhythm changes???

Another memorable day for a memorable guy, Lionel Hampton who's birthday occurs today. What an amazing guy, he put the vibraphone on the map.
