• My composition "Aldebaran." The pattern begins at the 50-second mark

"Bud Powell" by Chick Corea - revisiting and working on this tricky composition by Chick.

Walt Dickerson's daughter, Liz, is a friend of mine. When we first met, we were talking about him and I wrongly assumed that the tune Elizabeth was written for her; it was not... he wrote it for his wife (Liz's mother). Liz also told me that day that her favorite recording of all the ones her dad did was not Elizabeth, but rather one called Bacon and Eggs.

I asked my students to prepare 2 tunes each and then come over and stream the performance onto Facebook. And we did. I'm very proud of these students.

I posted this before. But I can't find it!!!

I've added my student Oliver Mayman playing the pattern. Check out what he does with the pattern.

I think there is so much in Balafon playing for vibe players to study! Don't think about where you can play patterns over and over. Well, you can, but the point is to have that independence when accompanying yourself, or playing counterlines!

Attached is the pattern that Oliver is playing.
