Anyone heard of this guy? I think he's fantastic. A friend of mine recently introduced me to his stuff. What do you guys think? I attached a video.
Hey VW friends,
Here is something I have been working on.
This is a live studio performance - what you see is what you hear. No additional overdubs or fixes were added (there's only 1 vibe and 1 marimba part, plus shaker). Thanks for viewing, please Like/Share

Hi everybody,
check out my new promo video from my new upcoming album 15'.
Thanks for stopping by.
Ciao,

I just watched a fantastic version of Tony playing this tune solo. There's also a beautiful version of David and Tony playing duo on this tune. Some players play this tune in C, but here we are in Eb. Bill Evans plays it in D and Ab (half chorus in each key). It's nice do this transposing thing with Wine and Roses ala Bill Evans (F and Ab, half a chorus in each key). This is a fun tune to play on with nice changes. There's a nice solo transcription of Jerry Bergonzi playing this tune that can be found on the web.
David and Peter came to our improv classes and took over for a bit before finishing up with this great tune Lover. Apologies for missing the beginning
Thought this might be inspiring. Some great lines to steal!
Here's a version of my good friend Mark Carlsen on bass and I playing Irving Berlin's How Deep Is The Ocean. This is a great tune to play. Some of my favorite versions would be Chick Corea's (a somewhat reharmonized version titled Now He Beats The Drum) on the album Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Of course, Bill Evans' version on the Exploration album from 1961 with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and Keith Jarrett's version (with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette) from his week at the Blue Note in 1994.
The last mini-lesson I posted on VW seemed to raise more questions than it solved... Ok that is cool, the idea is to explore many things and try to get better. We all need to do this, and it never stops as a player. It's a constant journey.
In the Coltrane lick I had been working on, I suggested a double sticking that some of you pointed out was actually a triple sticking. So I had to look into that, cause I wasn't even slowing it down enough to realize I was doing that, and upon further review, it is not something I would actually recommend doing.
Hi guys, here's another clip from this past Sunday's session with Mark Carlsen on bass. We're doing Jobim's classic Wave.
