Here is a video of one song from the concert Gary did at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland on the 10th of july 2011. It's a Monk Tune(as you can probably hear) but I forgot the title. Maybe Gary or Tony can fill that in?

The line-up for this gig was:

Gary Burton - Vibes
Julian Lage - Guitar
Jorge Roeder - Bass
Antonio Sanchez - Drums

Enjoy!

Here is our first EOTM by David Friedman. I'm hoping David will become our EOTM man. He has all these creative ways of playing scales and doing exercises. So let's see if we can get him to be our EOTM CEO.

Here's the first one. This is a great idea actually. If you practice one of these exercises each month and just for the month I would argue that technically it will alter your playing for the better. I'm going to do it also!

The theme of this lesson is to find something that YOU like when you play. Forget about judgement, and just listen. Find patterns that sound good, pick out melodies that sound familiar or make up new ones, experiment with different ways of striking the instrument. Try anything. Record and/or remember the things that you really like, and then later you can learn WHAT it is you played so that you can do it again, or be free to change it however you want.
