This exercise sums up a lot of things I talk about. Give it a shot. Get behind your instrument as I talk.

I think we'll be having another vibe hang this saturday! I think Behn Gillece will be here and I'm trying to get Patty Franceschi and maybe a couple other players from the area over.
Also Marc Prz will be on bass. I'm hoping for 1pm east coast USA time. As it gets closer we'll zero in more on the actual time.
Here are some more thoughts on targeting notes.
Here's a response to another letter I got with some questions!

this is one of my favorite songs to play .. the words are gorgeous. The first time i heard this song was from the Locke and Barron duo... joe that version of the tune and your playing bring tears to my eyes ... masterfully played... well here is my stab at the tune. this was more just a test to see if my mic was working, first take. the first time thru the head i approached it as more rubato. and not strict on the melody, however at the end the melody was the center focus.. ive im not mistakened this is device that Coltrane used alot ...
anyways ... check it out ..
