Le Tombeau De Chateaubriand by Doug WALTER

walterdw 27 September 2023

I wrote this tune after seeing the majestic, mysterious tomb of the Romantic French poet, François-René de Chateaubriand.

Under a large cross, it is the only tomb on a petite isle just off the beach at St. Malo, France.

A striking vista unfolds around it.

This samba was done with our University of Colorado Boulder Jazz Faculty in Grusin Aud. on campus.

J. S. Bach, Sonata in E Major, vibes & piano

I. Adagio

II. Allegro

III. Adagio ma non tanto

IV. Allegro This recording is uploaded in honor of the brilliant hearing of Bob McCormick, Tampa, FLA.

The sonata, originally for violin and clavier, offers so many possibilities for expressive rubato it's a cornucopia of interpretive riches.

Mutsumi Moteki, piano

Recorded at the University of Colorado Boulder

 

Someday My Prince.... a sneak peek at how I practice

I've been loving the lessons that Behn has been posting about the tune.   I have been playing it for a while and, in fact, have been using it for some of my most recent experiments.   Yes to everything that Behn has been saying! We all have to practice and there are a lot of different productive ways to do it.  Here a few thoughts about how I practice a tune like this.

The Arrival of Victor Feldman

Track 1 Serpent’s Tooth

Victor plays vibes. Early Miles Davis tune.

Track 2 Waltz 

Chopin waltz that starts with piano, then vibes and back to piano. The track reminds me of MJQ.

Track 3 Chasing Shadows 

A Victor Feldman original. Has a bebop feel. Played on piano.

Track 4  Flamingo 

Nice ballad played on vibes. Tim Collins did a video on this tune.

Track 5 S’posin’

Starts on vibes, comps on piano during the bas solo and goes back to the vibes for the solo.
