all-levels

by Chick Corea (with intro)

"A Place in Time" - solo vibraphone version of a new song inspired by two of my favorite composers - Ennio Morricone who wrote the theme for the movie "Cinema Paradiso" and Luis Bacalov who wrote the theme for "Il Postino". The song has some unexpected harmonic twists and was a bit of a challenge to pull off in terms of keeping it consistent and maintaining the mood of the piece.

Refer to the supporting file for notation using Indian syllables.
Looking forward to comments and questions.

Short excerpt from a practice session yesterday playing “Solar” which is a 12 bar blues. One of the ways I like to practice is to play non stop with sort of a “stream of consciousness” approach with little planned as possible. Sometimes some good stuff and sometimes not so much. Ha!Ha!

As I wrote in my text re Dave Samuels the day I heard about his passing I remembered that I must have a folder with a few tunes of his he had given me many years ago. And a set of Mallets - there is no imprint on them, they may be very early Malletech mallets - that I paid a small fortune for at the time. They came with bent shafts, almost impossible to play with.
