Benny Golson, Philly native sax player, composer and arranger was in town for Penn States annual jazz festival 10 days ago. Benny wrote many classics including Killer Joe, Whisper Not, and I Remember Clifford. At 90 years of age, he still played great sax solos and told rambling stories about how he came to write each song. It was great inspiration for guys in our band, several of whom are in their nineties, to see Benny still going strong. His work is all over YouTube, including Lionel Hampton introducing Benny’s rendition of I Remember Clifford.

This is an exercise on minor pentatonics through the tune I am working on I just did one chorus of improv I have used some Bergonzi licks over the tune as well as some comping hope you like it

"Loro" by Egberto Gismonti - A great (and somewhat tricky!) song by the superb Brazilian guitarist/pianist. I played this one many years ago and dug it up from the files recently. A very unique and beautiful composition.

Hi folks,
Happy to present my new record, "Sense of Place" featuring Jon Cowherd, Drew Gress, Johnathan Blake, and myself on vibes. https://destinyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sense-of-place

A beautiful and challenging jazz waltz by Bill Evans.

The video is showing my new tube-holder-concept. Each resonance tube is suspended individually in the holder and can thus be taken out individually. The individual tubes can be put together 3 in 1 for minimal transport volume. The tube holders can be folded with or without tubes, so that the traditional transport as a "panpipe", as a "folded panpipe" or as a single tube package are all possible.

Hi vibes friend today i'd like to talk about a topic that is particular important to me:
"Time feeling" and how to develop your inner metronome.

Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!
