Still time to sign up! We have a decent sized class so this will be fun!
"Misty" - a little quick video that I recorded for an online private vibe student I was working with. We were working on solo playing using voicings as the basis of the solo interspersed with runs. The voicings are comprised of open and closed voicings usually connected by a melodic line in the top voice. It makes for a full sound and nice groove.
I think Simon is from France. I think he plays great and understands the language!
I think his pick up sound is really nice!
Alright folks-- I make some egregious note errors here, but I comment on them and resolve some important choices that have been performed wrong in the past. So through error, a contribution.
I'm mainly talking about measure 50-- because an E natural is marked once, that leads me to believe that the residual Eb on third beat, third partial should be respected and played literally. NOT as an E nat.
Similar situation at 76 and 77, I respect the literal printing because of the included courtesy accidentals at the end of each measure.
"I Hear A Rhapsody" - from a social distancing session yesterday in the home studio with Mark on bass, Gustavo on piano and myself on vibes. Lot of fun. After that we hung outside on the deck (with Lisa and Pam) and had takeout from Li's (our 10 year gig run and still going hopefully after this is over).
"How Insensitive" - from a social distancing session yesterday in the home studio with Mark on bass, Gustavo on piano and myself on vibes. Lot of fun. After that we hung outside on the deck (with Lisa and Pam) and had takeout from Li's (our 10 year gig run and still going hopefully after this is over).

I guess I'm "deciding" to be a musician again after a long hiatus of philosophy study and whatnot--- basically distracting myself from what I really need to elevate and live my best life.
Back to playing, back to content stuff..
Hope everyone's well!

Determined to continue my "Choro in my apartment" series in April, I began arranging another Pixinguinha classic "Segura Ele" for a host of great Brazilian musicians who happened to be scattered in far parts of the globe do to the shelter in place situation. It was fun and I learned a lot. Love this jam!
