"East of the Sun" - A classic standard that my students and I have been playing to work on improv concepts and solo vibraphone playing.

Roger's recent post playing with iReal Pro inspired me to show what I've been working on with iReal as well. This is one of those Q&D "Just hit play and whatever happens happens" recordings. Thanks Roger :)

Very sad. I have some great memories of Dave.

Of course he left a lot of great music behind.

My Samuels story is going to a gig he had in Delaware with my best friends wife. He was working and said take Annie with you! So we went. Had a great time I think. It was 40 years ago!!!! I remember a couple things.

The club was empty except for us.
Dave played great but I don't remember who was in the band. I bet it was piano and vibes, however none of that has stayed in my memory. I just remember thinking about how great he was!

Tony told me about iReal last August, and I like to use it to work on tunes before trying them with the band. So here are melody lines, no improvisation, for two classics: Armando's Rhumba, and I Remember Clifford.

A little smile...
