Today I took Bud Powell, NHOP and I forget the drummer on my walk. These walks are great for me because I get to listen to a whole cd and I get exercise both of which I don't do enough of.
One thing I do when I listen is take an instrument and imagine it was being played on the vibes. Would it work? Do I need more mallets? I just imagine.
Bud in a way works out. Those simple voicings in the left hand are perfect. Most are 2 and 3 voicings. We can whittle one note out of that and even 2 if we have to.

I love science fiction and there was a show on last year called Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. This was an amazing tv show full of great characters, emotion, story, robots, and MUSIC. Like all good things, it got canceled.
so here is my version of the theme song!
Since Tony posted about 'twitting' to learn more about music, I thought I'd thrown in another technology bit. On Facebook, you can become a fan of Musser Mallets and they put up a bi-weekly fun fact about their instruments. This picture and comment were this week's fun fact.
How can you make a note or notes get louder while they are ringing out?
Attached is an example.

Yep Move it sideways. Chords move sideways as well as up and down.
