Ask Me Now (Thelonious Monk) Solo Vibraphone

On a semester break from Berklee and in the shed today working on Thelonious Monk's classic tune "Ask Me Now". Joe (Locke) had brought this tune with him when he visited a few weeks ago. We had played this with Joe on vibes and myself on piano. Joe was burning from beginning to end while I comped on piano. It's a great tune for the "four to the bar" left hand comping that I'm utilizing here in the clip. I was also working on trying to keep the left hand groove going while incorporating two hand runs (using alternate strokes and combination strokes). It's a work in progress.

Everybody's Song But My Own (Kenny Wheeler) - Solo Vibraphone

On a semester break working on this beautiful song composed by the late Kenny Wheeler, a wonderful musician and composer who left us in September of 2014. I just learned about this song last week from Joe (Locke) who was here for a visit. Of course Joe played it unbelievably and in a way only he could. It's a beautiful song but somewhat tricky to improvise on melodically and make the changes. Here's my first stab at it.

Happy Holidays!

New TOTMs as of 12/23/15

Hi everyone,

Tony and I discussed our new TOTMs. They will be "Giant Steps" and "There Will Never Be Another You." For Giant Steps, we'll discuss the various different treatments of the tune. If Giant Steps is a little too difficult, follow the lessons for There Will Never Be Another You.

Both these tunes are great, so do both if you can! Keep on the lookout for new lessons.
