Okay, after Tony's joke on the practice tape post, I decided this subject probably needed its own thread.
So here is my story about the motor:
Here's another piece from that same gig. This is one of Ernie's original tunes dedicated to Errol Garner.
as a preperation for the workshop i was looking for darn that dream on youtube, look what i found :) i like it very much! the slowness, the voicings the little, quick dampening things. looking forward to study this at the workshop.

w/ Ernie Edwards and the Webb Brothers at Pianos in Bloomfield, NJ last week
the promoter's wife had a Flip cam at the gig... I thought I would share this with you all.

Perfect interpretation, and they have many others tangos on YouTube. The real tango's feeling.
Fair warning -- this is a major geek-out. I'll forgive anyone who doesn't want to slog through it, and I don't expect many comments.
But, I'll go ahead. As often comes up in comments to posts here, this is a freakin' fantastic site. Most recently this comment has come up in response to the video of David playing "Giant Steps", but the awesomeness has many dimensions, including the contributions of the star players, the working pros, the students and the people just trying to make the best music they can.
Hi everybody,
So I know it's a bit late, but the new TOTM (Days of Wine and Roses) has really inspired me to build up a wider repertoire of tunes, so I've come up with a new year's resolution.
From today, I'm going to try and learn a new tune every two weeks (by ear), and at the end of the two weeks post a recording on here, to give a sense of finality to the exercise.
John! You're birthday is the same as Gary Burton I think.
Two great people! One GREAT vibe player and one up and coming great vibe player!
You guys are both great friends of mine and great supporters of the site. You both have many friends here!
So I hope you both have a very Happy Birthday!
Let's all wish John and Gary a Happy Birthday!
Check out the lines!
