In this post I am focussing on milling of the bar.
This is classic Lionel Hampton. It has all his tricks and signature moves. That is Ray Brown on bass and Buddy Rich on drums, so Lionel was right at home.
It's from the mid 1950's so it shows the influence that some of the more modern players like Milt Jackson were already starting to have on his playing. Mostly, his subdivisions are close to a triplet feel, but he does vary it and sometimes play straight eighths and other times, a dotted eighth/sixteenth feel.
It's the most famous "pop" song every written so I had to do it.
Feels really good to be back in the Vibesworkshop after a long time! I hope everybody is well and coping with things.
Here is how I incorporated clave on solo vibes, at a recent masterclass at Ithaca College. Give it a try! The turnaround is III-VI-II-V.
You play the head then we trade 2 choruses and then you play and then take the melody out.
You know the drill. This is the tune Four.
You write in the chords, study my voicings.
Are they rootless?
What parts of the chords are there.
Then play it.
The second chorus is a simple solo outling the harmony.

In this post I am focussing on our material selection.
"I'll Remember April" - a little shedding in the basement studio after a full day of teaching online. The past two days of teaching have been great. Everyone called in at the designated time and we were off and running. Especially amazing since they were calling from all over the world (Hong Kong, Columbia, Portugal, Paris,...) Wonderful seeing all of the students and seeing how they are doing with everything that's been happening. We covered a lot of material and I think the rest of the semester will be very productive.
