This is part of the Open Source Dampening and Pedaling book. This is free for all to use. It's a beautiful etude.
Out Of Nowhere - lot of fun yesterday playing with Mark and Gustavo in the basement studio. Nice playing and then a hang with Napoli pizza and meat pie capped off with blueberry and apple pie from Mann's.

Either I or Tristan will be leading the class.
If there are any problems I'll post it here. Remember they're pop up classes, they can move around a bit.
"Question and Answer" by Pat Metheny. Got the lead sheet from Gary Burton who got it from Pat for their recording Like Minds featuring Gary, Pat, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Roy Haynes. It's a classic recording that received a Grammy for best instrumental recording in 1998. The lead sheet can be downloaded via the google drive link in the video description.
"A Simple Sentiment" - an original composition for solo vibraphone that I just finished and ran through on the vibes. Sort of a somewhat simple anthem composed for a basic sentiment for our current times. It's an AAB odd bar form composition with both A sections being 11 bars and the B section being 5 bars. The lead sheet can be downloaded via the google drive link in the video description. Ed
Hello everyone!
I’m going to be posting two lessons a week for a little bit, so I hope you like piano-isms! This one’s actually a Part II to my original one on Oscar Peterson. It delves into a few more idiosyncrasies characteristic to his playing.
I mentioned a few recordings in this video, so I’ll link to youtube versions here:
“Night Train” (OP) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKHt9b5jJqs (rolls example)
Yesterday was a fun coffee house. We talked a bit about transcriptions and why and how we do them. In the fashion to which I have become accustomed, Tony described his methods and motives as “exactly the opposite” of mine. I love this aspect of our excellent 30+ year friendship. We do see things differently, but in the end... we wind up agreeing about all the important stuff and how much we love the vibes.
