None of These

So the University of the Arts (where Tony teaches in Illadelph) is illin' hard this year and we are going to start a monthly to bi monthly study. So we will blog on the blogoshphere of the interwebs via vibesworkshop.com about a certain composer or style, recommend tunes/info/recordings to each other, each learn some tunes from that composer or in that style, and eventually meet up and have a vibe hang that is centered around the topic du jour of the month.

The first up on the list is Duke Ellington/ Billy Strayhorn.

Jazz sous les pommiers 2013

What a great weekend we had. The festival is in a French town Coutances near the coast. It’s kind of the border between Bretagne & Normandy (hope I‘m correct here).

We arranged a room with 1 of the people volunteering to give rooms for the audience. It was organized by the tourism department. So we 1st went over there. I walked in and started my explanation. “Hey, I’m Stefan Vandenbe” “OOOOOH It’s you !!!, I’m Marilyn, we mailed”. OK, so they where expecting us apparently. J

Folks the spiritual leader of this site is now on Wikipedia. Many of you know him better than I do so please feel free to either suggest edits or just make them....

Who doesn't love Dex!? Today is his birthday. What are your favorite Dexter tunes/albums. My favorite album is Doin' Allright. I also really like the blues on that album Society Red. Check out how behind the beat he sounds on the whole solo. It swings hard. That is Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.

Have you guys heard the album, Coltrane's Sound? I just recently became privy to it. It's cool. Trane superimposes his changes on some standards as well as plays a few of his originals. It's quickly becoming my favorite Trane album.

This is the first take of Body and Soul on the album (there are two)

P.S. The whole album is on youtube...

Congratulations to Gary and Chick for another Grammy win the other night. This one was for best instrumental solo for Hot House, a fantastic recording. After 40 years, they're still going strong. Saw a picture of Gary accepting the Grammy and he looked sharp in an all black suit. I hope the music continues for many more years. Ed

Hi everyone,

This is a recent video from Jay Ingram's show, in which Dr. Jessica Grahn talks about brain and music, particularly rhythm perception. I thought you guys would be interested.

I m doing similar stuff in my research. I know Jessica personally, although don t work directly with her.

Enjoy ! If you have questions... ;=)

Cheers,

Nico

it seems we forgot a very cool version with the singers...maybe because we don´t expect him to sing jazz.

i like this version because it´s so simple and clear.
