I've given voicings for Giant Steps. Your just is to study the harmony, write in the chords with their upper partials and then memorize the voicings. Then add rhythm and comp with a play along track to get the voicings inside of you.

This is our first try at recording this wonderful little song at a crazy, slow tempo. (The original version is up tempo!) I'm not sure if anyone under the age of 50 is familiar with this tune. The composer, Harold Arlen, wrote such classics as, "Somewhere over the rainbow", "Blues in the Night", "Sleepin'Bee", etc.

I posted #4 awhile back - continuing to work through the book. Constructive feedback is always welcome!

A little “Basin St. Blues” from a warmup session today at Berklee before classes. I love these classic old gems. Some great versions from Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson and Keith Jarrett.

Dana Sudborough a vibe player in Dallas, asked on Facebook why Don Byron had a cd called NO-VIBE ZONE with a picture of a vibe with the red circle and the line going through it. You know it. No smoking.

I forgot about this cd and saw it when it came out. It looks pretty negative about the vibes. Just don't know why he named it that. On the Facebook post they mention an interview.
