There are two tunes called Milestones by Miles Davis (he wrote both right?)

The old one which is more a bebop kind of tune and the new one which is more modal. Here's the funny thing, they are both really old. So it should be 'the older Milestones and the old Milestones'!

Here's my chord melody. It's not easy.

“East of the Sun” - some Sunday morning practice with this classic standard after a little hiatus from the vibes due to a vacation. Working here with a focus on incorporating runs and fills while keeping the time going. These concepts will be covered in a chapter of the solo vibraphone book that I’m working on. Inspiration for me in this area comes from pianists like Art Tatum, George Shearing and Oscar Peterson.

Hey Folks,
I rarely post these sorts of things, but was inspired to learn this Mulgrew Miller solo this summer. I just love his lines, phrasing, and where he places things in the pocket. He swung.

Here is the Friedman dampening Etude 5. Comments and critique are welcome!
