Today at 4:30.
This is a video from back in my conservatory days. This is my arrangement of a Ukrainian folk song called Kolomiyka.
Hope you enjoy!

Here's my arrangement or etude on Chega. Of course inspired by Gary Burton's untouchable version! None the less I thought inspired by his version it might be fun for us to give it a shot.
Pedaling? If it troubles anyone I can think about it but I more less just fluttered the pedal on every beat except for the obvious places.
Hi Everyone,
I mentioned in a previous post that there was a period when I was exploring and studying music from Dixieland and the Swing Era along with some of the swing and stride pianists. Well, as a follow up to that, we uploaded three tracks from my recording Swing on the Sunnyside which was recorded in 1995 and features songs from those great periods of jazz.
About the tracks:

I know some of you have been working on Joyspring. Here is a bass and drums track of the original arrangement, all on brushes, with the intro and the coda. I've added a click manually : 1,2, 1-2-3 and the opening phrase starts immediately after three. I wish I had had a bit more time to do this. Without anyone playing the melody, it's pretty tough, the main danger being rushing the tempo. We've tried hard to hold back. Although I can hear every imperfection (it's time I got me a new pair of brushes)I think with the solo voice on top, they will not be too noticeable.
Hello,
Just wanted to inform everyone that I'm doing a CD release party for my co-led record with Ken Fowser at Chris' Jazz Cafe. It's this Saturday, April 11 at 8PM. You can get directions, etc. from Chris's website www.chrisjazzcafe.com The band is:
Ken Fowser- tenor sax
Behn Gillece- vibraphone
Jeremy Manasia- piano
Adam Cote- bass
Jason Brown- drums
Hope to see you there!
Behn,
This is something I've been working on since moving to Boston and studying with Ed. There is an article from PAS that somebody has posted on here already that explains the mechanics of Ed's fulcrum grip but this video really shows it in action.
Make sure to watch the whole thing... everything is shown with multiple camera angles.
