This wonderful, quirky tune by Earl Zindars has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. I used to jam on this tune in the 70's and perform it with bassist Harvie S. Although I'd been playing it off and on I never was satisfied with my solo versions so I started working on it again about 3 days ago and finally, after 2 day of recording it, I came up with a version which I feel is moderately acceptable. It's hard not to try to sound like Bill Evans, who made the tune famous. I think there's quite a bit of me in this take. So, here goes.

There is the link for this transcription. Now you can study a little John Piper.

Cool music played on vibes... Enjoy ! An happy new year to everybody, with a lot of good vibes ! :o)

I've been playing through Freddie Hubbards solo from his tune Birdlike. Oh man is there a ton of stuff in this solo!

Here's an excerpt. The second chorus. Check out the E natural in the first bar over the F7. He does this all over the place. He does it also on the 4 chord later on. It's so cool because you can see ways you can play the major 7th over the dominant chord.

Next this chorus is a GREAT etude. try to play it using alternate sticking and get it up to speed. It will take some work! After that play it in different keys!

Here's a beautifuk version of "When you wish upon a Star", by master ballad singer, Martina
Bárta. We recorded our rehearsal today.

I was inspired by Tony's rendition of "Joy Spring" so I decided to try a a couple of choruses, concentrating on keeping the time, experimenting with different voicings, rhythmic comping and ultimately trying to swing! VERY Challenging with any solo bebop version. The reason I faded the track out is simply because I didn't like what I played towards the end. :-) Not terribly mysterious (Ha ha!)

Hi Vibes lovers, today the lesson is for advanced players who wants to extend they harmonic palette using triads that touch extensions of the chord (7, 9, 11, 13) on their solo.
Make sure to check the attached file where there'a table that shows what triads can be played over any type of chord.

As usual remember to check out my youtube channel and follow me on facebook and instagram.

This is a homage to one of my all time favorite songs,"The Witchita Lineman", by Glen Campbell. I love the unexpected harmonic movement and the general mood of the composition.
I first just worked on playing the melody with a decent accompaniment. It took me forever! It's SO difficult to play correctly and maintain the mood and flow. Then after recording the melody a couple of times I decided to play a simple improvisation over the "vibe" of the song. Hope you like it.
