Good Vibes October 2020

Time

Hi Everyone,
Hope you and your loved ones are all healthy and safe! I know what a tough time this is for musicians and so fervently wish we could get back to seeing and hearing you in live settings.
Meanwhile, the October show is slated for October 4 and 7.
It opens with my favorite election tune, "Elect 'Oral' Blues" by the Gerry Tachoir Group. The Blues with a capital "B" has got it just about right.
Here's the playlist of musicians alphabetically:
Bobby
Bryan
Christos
Chuck
David B
David F
Gary
Jay
Jerry

Nightingale for Barry K

I said I would play at the coffeehouse this Sunday, but I got a gig, so I won't be there. I was going to play this tune because Barry had been asking about how we all thought about the changes as we played the tune. I tried to do a little walk through.

...seemed like a good idea to share it here rather than just send it to him. I'm good for a critique of anything I played or said. :)

MAZE

'MAZE' is an original composition that was written to feature the exceptional Brazilian drummer and dear friend, Mauricio Zottarelli. I would llike to thank Jason Kronick for mixing the track. Enjoy!

A Thorough Guide to Ending Tunes, Part 1: Tags

Hello all!

I’m taking a little break from the “how to play vibes like” lessons and am doing a couple beginner-oriented ones on ending tunes, although I think everyone can probably get something from them. This lesson is really for anyone who has ever been on a gig or at a jam session where at the end you all just kind of fizzled out in an unsatisfying, anticlimactic way, and wants a better alternative for the future. It’s also for anyone who just wants more creative options to end tunes.
