“Falling Grace” by Steve Swallow. One of the great many compositions written by Steve. This one is like a Berklee standard and is a great song to explore with. I worked on this with Gary way back and 45 years later it’s still fun to play and see where the music takes you. I was looking through my files from when I was studying with Gary. He was a great teacher. Very open, organized and systematic. I uploaded the lead sheet he gave me with the chord scales listed. On the back of the lead sheet he wrote his system of chord scales as applied to improvisation. I uploaded those to google docs.

Dan here are both parts.

download the single part and add your part.

Did I post something like this recently.

Hi vibes lovers today i'd like to talk about my approach to odd meter showing you a couple of grooves that I wrote.
remember to break down the odd meter in smaller groups of 3 and 2 (e.g. 7=2+2+3 or 2+3+2 or 3+2+2)

Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!

This is a recording of my new marimba solo piece, Charlie Chaplin, performed by the wonderful young marimbist, Ayami Okamura. We did this at my house. We plan to do a more professional recording in the middle of October.
I love her groove, a quality missing in too many classical marimbists.
