On a semester break from Berklee and in the shed today working on Thelonious Monk's classic tune "Ask Me Now". Joe (Locke) had brought this tune with him when he visited a few weeks ago. We had played this with Joe on vibes and myself on piano. Joe was burning from beginning to end while I comped on piano. It's a great tune for the "four to the bar" left hand comping that I'm utilizing here in the clip. I was also working on trying to keep the left hand groove going while incorporating two hand runs (using alternate strokes and combination strokes). It's a work in progress.

Lesson about adding some V-1 cadences to tunes to create more harmonic movement. Uses "On Green dolphin St" as an example. Simple idea, but some of the best players I know have mastery of a bunch of little harmonic tricks like this that culminate in their musical voice.

Happy Holidays.

I've been working on Groovin' High the last couple weeks, so I wrote a little etude on There Will Never Be Another You using its main thematic idea. I had to tweak it here and there to fit the chords and harmonic rhythm. I still need to work on playing it well, but I wanted to share it.

Hey Vibeworkshop
Since last spring I have been thinking a lot about the melodic contour in improvisation. Today I wanted to share some thoughts and systems on how to understand the ways phrases can be built using Cell Shapes (ideas that are created using small contour segments, c-segs for short).

This is the first bridge of Green Dolphin Street or the B1 I guess you'd call it.

Put the chords in, then play or listen to the tune, then memorize this 'shortude'. Put it through some keys!
