Ok, and yet another one...

This file I found is called: 'All Blues Ideas'. Apparently it is something I recorded a while ago and was A recording with some arranging ideas for All Blues.

This mainly focusus on some groove ideas. I tend to part from this by playing some lines, but I come back to a groove.

Hey Everybody,

I was just amazed to find this. I know I had studied Tony's Green Dolphin Street Etude... But I didn't remember recording the whole thing.. Let alone playing it! Man, I can't do this at this time...

I don't play it without mistakes, but this gives a pretty good idea of the etude, I think.

Check out the 'check this out' links to the pdf of the etude.

Man this is a nice etude to study!

Here's a recording of me playing an arrangement of Sweet Georgia Brown with Big Band. Yes, on Vibes. I even play some of Terry Gibbs' solo. This was nice to do and hard. Just Thought I would post... As I said, I'm in a posting mood today...

Hey Guys,

I guess I'm in a posting mode today. This a composition I did about the even years a spent at the conervatory. In my opinion too long to be in one school. I guess you can hear that in this composition, at least I hope. Ok, the horns didn't practice the theme really good. It's kind of a hard tune. Me on drums, not vibes...

Same question here, any need for talk about composing...?

And yeah, that's me talking dutch, introducing the band...

Here's some arranging madness with the tune Cherokee.

I posted this a long time ago. So see the 'check this out' link. Let me know what you think. And also if there's a need to talk about arranging....?

Hey Guys,

This is a version of Bernie's Tune I did on my bachelor exam. I arranged the whole thing. I was wondering if there might be a need for some thought on arranging tunes. Either for a small band or a larger band with horns.

Let me know if there is some interest on this subject.

Let me know what you think of this 'crazy' arrangement...

TJ

I really love this tune. It's hard in a way, but I still like it. I did an arrangement of this tune on my bachelor exam. I'll post that also.

And yet another one from the same gig. I actually like my comping on this one, but don't really dig my solo. Although at this point I had just practiced two versions of the milt solo(see check this out) in twelve keys. I guess that was just too much in my system and there are some parts that come out, but I think I was still too fresh in my system...
Some things really have to settle....

Here's another one from my archives. Blue Bossa. Here I'm playing a bossa/latin pattern and even go into double time.

Here's a recording I recently rediscovered of a gig I did back in 2007 with a trio(bass - vibes - ten sax). It's kind of free, but not really. Thought I'd share this. Hope you like it.
