This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or variation.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY !!!!
As a gift, here is my current work on Bach Prelude in C Major, from the well tempered clavier.... Still a practice tape, but wanted to share it anyway.
Thanks again and again for building this, for making this happen... You know how much Charly and I have to thank you !! ;)
Happy Birthday!

Here a recent take of Wine & Roses (to get going with posting here)
Through practice of permutation from Bergonzi's Melodic Structures I recently started finding a way to bridge the "gap" between playing the head with chords (I generally start out learning a tune by fitting the chords under the melody first- as written on the pdf) and horizontal lines, in other words: move on from a "stiff" head to being able to improvise over the changes.
The steps I figured out playing more freely & horizontal were:

Hey VW's if you like these, let me know and I will do more like this.
This is the first part of a multi part series on modes. When I've posted everything you'll find it in the link above here.

有幾個方式去學調式音階，
第一種你可以想成都在C大調音階的關係（全部沒有升降記號）：
C音到C音Ionian,
D音到D音Dorian,
E音到E音Phrygian,
F音到F音Lydian,
G音到G音Mixolydian,
A音到A音Aeolian,
B音到B音Locian,
第二種方式，也是Tony喜歡用的一種方式：
把七個調式音階建立在同一個根音上，
比如Dorian就是把Ionian的3,7,音降低半音。
如果只是用第一種方式，沒有比較的對象，每一種調式聽起來都會只是在C大調中的聲音色彩。
Here is another one from a long time ago. Hope you enjoy it!

This is just me practicing Blue Monk. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated! Anything that can help me to be better!
I promise I will upload some 4 mallet stuff soon.
Thanks,

The lesson demonstrates some comping patterns and ideas to get you started on playing in a ChaCha groove. All the patterns are over a ii-V7 vamp (Amin7-D7). You could use these patterns over songs like Oye Como Va and Soul Sauce.
