Here's a version of the Monk tune 4 in 1. I'm going to write up a chord melody etude of what I play on the head.
I'm listening to George Shearing and I hear this beautiful vibe solo. It was Frank Ricotti. I never heard of him. Does anyone know about him??
I was recently talking with a student about playing in slow motion. I think I've talked about it here before, but I thought I'd do a little reminder on the topic.
I just checked out Tony's myspace page and listened to him playing 4 and 1. That's some mighty fine vibin' there. Could you talk about that piece? If it's not here somewhere I think others would really enjoy it.
Don't know what to Practice? Grab a few of these licks and just go through the keys. Courtesy of bobland.org!

Man I've been here practicing for the last few hours. I'm working on stuff I worked on yesterday and I'm realizing once again how important consistency is.
I'm seeing what I did yesterday flow a little better today. It's really exciting and always has been.
That's why I just want to mention about this. Make sure you're setting aside time each day, or most days. You need that consistency to get better.
Just taking a 5 minute break to pass on my 2 cents.
Here's a clip from when I was at Mike's factory. I thought I posted this here but I can't find it.
