Milt and Bobby. They always pull down Milt stuff so watch it now before it's too late (dixit Tony Miceli)...
So believe him and watch! (MN)

Daily Motion Introduction:
Jazz vibes giant Milt Jackson (1923 - 1999) in one of his last performances. With him, Michael LeDonne on piano, Pierre Boussaguet on bass, and the legendary Mickey Roker on drums. At this point, Milt Jackson brings Bobby Hutcherson onstage for a duet on the venerable standard "Lady Be Good", a fitting finale for this great concert, and it's roger and out from Salzau, Germany, 1999.

Emilie and I were talking about that Locke/Hutcherson video, and suddenly Goldwing put it on top of the Pile! Funny! :o)

What about the legendary duets Hutcherson/Jackson? We know vids of Milt on the net are very few and tend to disappear. So this is an update of the few duets (so far) on Dailymotion, from Jazz Baltica 99 (one of the very last performances of Bags)… Feat. Pierre Boussaguet (db…French!), plus the legendary Mikey Rocker (dr) and Mike Ledonne (p.)

This is a thrown together duo intro for my university septet. Its a bit rough around the edges, but I thought it came out nicely for our first performance together. Sorry about the music stands everywhere!

Here's a pdf with a list of Giant Steps CDs.

The lesson demonstrates some comping patterns and ideas to get you started on playing in a ChaCha groove. All the patterns are over a ii-V7 vamp (Amin7-D7). You could use these patterns over songs like Oye Como Va and Soul Sauce.

Man I just read Dana's blog. he's right, the opportunity is here, we should ALL be blogging. Well no should's or shouldn'ts as my wife would say. But blogging would help the learning process here.

I wish the pros would blog more often. Just talk about what's up and talk about what's going on in there heads.

I can relate to Dana listening back to himself. I always said, if I had my own music college:

Mandatory recording device for each student.
Mandatory Journal (daily)
Mandatory Recording yourself playing several things each day.

Here's a Quick & Dirty recording from a gig at a supermarket. We are playing "Juliet-style", up on a balcony above the people as they shop below. I had a substitute bass player that day so we didn't play any of my originals.
