Here is a part of a lesson by Tony, day 1 of the workshop in Sassenheim.
Tony speaks about "embellishing notes" or "surrounding notes" (after a question from Ben "redders" Redman).
Hi everyone,
Here's a new etude based on the TOTM, Days Of Wine And Roses. PDF is attached. Hope you like it!

This is a transcription of Bach's 2 part invention no. 13. The range has been adjusted to 3 octaves so it can be played on vibes and marimba. Both parts are 90% arpeggios, so using 4 mallets will make it easier to execute the lines. You can download the manuscript [HERE]
Note to Tony: How about allowing uploads of pdf files on video posts so I don't have to keep putting in these external links to the manuscript?
I thought we'd quickly post some of what we're working on. We went through this sheet of voicings. David gave a great talk on them and everyone had to learn them and play part of this. The jpg's are attached. We shot them with his camera.
I get to play with David Friedman
Hi all,
Here are some ideas for increasing the use of varied rhythms in improv. One thing I didn't mention in the lesson; use of space and accents is very important as well!!!! Enjoy.

I don't know a lot of these songs but it's still interesting.
I have a set of Friedman 30Ls to give away.
If you want them, all you have to do is put up 4 Friedman CDs via the Amazon Review under POST.
The first one to put 4 cds up gets the mallets.
hey everyone,
i just thought this might be helpfull for some of the beginners of you, because to me it opened up the doors for my first improvisations. i had a chat with marie about soloing, that´s why i did this "lesson". i´m no tony and just a student, so please don´t mind me doing this but i thought any tip might be helpful.

Reminding me how white I am! Listen to the bass and drums. So locked in, me thinks.
