Stardust - Revisiting this classic composed by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Mitchell Parish. Here's one of the versions that I came up with today while doing a little practicing at home. Throughout the clip, I incorporated some voicings covered in my new book "Voicing Concepts for the Jazz Vibist" now available from Amazon. Having fun trying out some different voicings and a little reharm here and there. Putting the book together and coming up with the concepts and examples helped my playing in terms of expanding my voicing vocabulary.
