the works of mingus has been a profound influence on my musical concept as a whole. Not only was it mingus himself as a player and composer but rather his personel, so many amazing improviser.... Aways this my stab at this tune ... very much a rehearsal aka sunday jam with some local guys. kinda funny the bass player started playing this progression, next we know we are in the middle of Good bye Pork pie hat.... memory was a little hazy for the melody so i turned it in to more of a theme to improvise off of.

would be excited to hear your thoughts ...

This section will cover Giant Steps and ways to study and master the tune!

I finally got around to turning on the mics and playing over the Freddy the Freeloader rhythm track from this post:

It's rough but I was just trying to have some fun.

Please post your version too. Thanks for listening.

Here's part 1 of a series of lessons helping you understand the tune Giant Steps.

The other day, I heard a couple tunes on our local jazz station:

An arrangement of Burt Bacharach's "This Guy's In Love".

Victor Feldman and Bobby Hutcherson played on this album. I don't know who played on this song though.

I bought a beautiful stick bag off of Danasud as he's known on the site.

That bag is beautiful!
Thanks Danasud!

All Night Long is a film that takes place in London's jazz scene of the early 1960s, this updating of Shakespeare's 'Othello' features a strong cast (the late Patrick McGoohan as a brilliant jazz drummer who is very opportunistic and Richard Attenborough), as well as appearances by some of the best known names from the jazz world such as Charlie Mingus, Dave Brubeck, Johnny Dankworth, Keith Christie, former lead and solo trombone from the great Ted Heath band, and the late Tubby Hayes, who apparently has been getting some attention and discussion here on vibes workshop.
