Solo piano clip of 2 choruses of Harold Arlen's "Over The Rainbow" with Keith Jarrett changes along with modulation as follows: first A in Eb, second A in F, bridge in F and last A in Db. This was taped during my Berklee improv class this past summer by pianist Ricardo Curto. The lead sheet can be viewed on Scribd here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113437494/Over-the-Rainbow-Reharm-Modulation
Ok, that's enough with the chops, huh? I'm away for one week. Behn said he'd shoot me if I didn't end the chops TOTM.
So let's get back to a tune. ok? Just In Time me and Behn were thinking of.
I think Behn has one more chops exercise, so we'll start rapping things up. In as week we'll start JUST IN TIME.
My semester is coming to a close and I'll get some lessons up. I have more from Christos.
How about some more mini concerts? I love them!
Maybe a vibe hang in December?
Check this out.

Seven Rungs of Resistance
There are 7 basic rungs of resistance up the ladder of artistic success
1. Ignorance - Not your fault. Generally the result of a polluted environment. No one
knows, so you don't know.
Example: You think funk is jazz.
2. Miseducation - Your teachers are well meaning, but just don't know. It's no one's
fault. Example: someone tells you, you have to study classical music to become a jazz
musician. Bad advice.
3. Personal difficulties - You just have some major personal problems to overcome.
hi all people
here is a video extract from a gig playing a wonderful composition (sweet georgia fame)
I hope you like !
all the best for all people
I"m doing a recording in Dusseldorf with David Friedman. We decided to make it a sort of live concert. But we'll only invite 20 people I think. Any VW members interested? Gonne be around Dusseldorf? Now sure if they are charging to tickets, I think they might be.
Let me know if you want to come? The audience will be in the recording studio with us. Matthais says there is room.
The recording is Monday, November 26, probably starting around 7 PM.
What's up vibesworkshop? As many of you know, I am up in Philly studying with the man himself, Tony Miceli. Tony and I spend a good deal of our lesson time in conversation about the instrument, music, and life. He asked me to start a blog and discuss things that I am working on and some concepts I use while arranging and playing. So this is entry numero uno. And I wanted to talk about arranging.
(Note from Tony) - my students have to do lessons each semester and submit them on the site. Sangwon speaks much better Korean than English so he's doing his lesson in Korean.
