An admittedly wacky improvisation to see where the energy and freedom would take me...

Is there a better place/way to post these on the site?

Try to play this with a click track. Study the harmony (the tune is black Orfeus) and practice playing on the off beats.

National Science Foundation contacted me at the fire house in McMurdo Station and asked if I would put something together for International Jazz Day from Antarctica. This was at the end of my shift on 4/25. They said they needed two-and-a-half minutes of recorded music by the afternoon of 4/26. I got off work the morning of 4/26, went straight to the Chapel Of The Snows (where I keep my vibraphone and practice), got four volunteers from the firehouse to hold camera phones while I played.

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