Hi All,
By now everyone should know about the Jazz Vibes Showcase and Workshops that will be held in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina on January 5 and 6. If not, all the details are at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina website, artshhi.org. If you're coming, please see about your hotel reservations now - the Sonesta (beachfront) or the Park Lane - as special rates will apply only to Dec 4.
It's going to be a great time at a terrific award-winning venue. You'll love it.

Check out Marie from San Fran. She has not been playing that long and she's already playing in a band. It's a big deal and will really improve your playing if you can get in an ensemble. FORGET about waiting until you're "good enough". You're wasting too much time. Marie sounds great!!!

This is Stuart Hoffman from Canada. He does a great job on it!

Missed a few notes, but focusing on dynamics and expression for this run. Critiques highly encouraged and very welcome.

Hi!

He asked me to arrange some modern popular songs for them and record and produce a video.

If you don't know, A mini concert is when you play 2 or 3 songs without stopping. Record audio or video and then post it. It let's you get the feeling of playing on stage. It has really helped my playing.

So mini concerts Dec. 15th. Who's in????
Don't Post until Dec. 14th in the evening if you can.

If you post video, post it on Youtube or I think Vimeo will work also. Copy the link, go to (on the left) Post > Video > Embedded video and you can figure out the rest. If you need help contact me.

Who's in to contribute to a Mini Concert Dec. 15th???

Hi VW friends!
If you are going to be in town for PASIC, be aware that Indy's jazz tradition is still going VERY strong. We have amazing players who come up from the great music school at IU, plus a bunch of fantastic local players. There are two clubs in Indy that are strictly jazz - the Jazz Kitchen, and the Chatterbox. The Chatterbox is located downtown - just one mile from the Convention center and is really worth checking out. On weekdays the music starts at 8:00 and there is no cover charge and the drinks are cheap.
