two versions of Jobim's Wave. Been working on this with Tony over the last few weeks so I'm posting two versions with comping Improv 3rds and 7ths some arpeggios and some straight improv trying make some nice melodies. I find comping can be tricky as in putting the chords in the right areas over solos. Dynamics are also important so thats another part I'm working on Would like to hear some feedback its been a while since I've posted

Thanks John

Here's another interesting bebop technique related to the chromatic and diatonic approach that I use a lot to embellish simple fragment of scales and arpeggios.
You'll sound immediately jazzy!!
Hope you enjoy.

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

Here's an attempt at Tony's H1CH thing. I'm not sure if it's a technically a chord melody because I break up the melody and chords most of the time.

A ballad by Jimmy Van Heusen

Simply working on some basics with some Friedman Etudes. Feedback welcomed!

I'm in the jazz combo at my university this semester (Cal State, East Bay), and I was thrilled to find the music department has a beautiful instrument. Apart from a missing damper bar adjustment nut, it looks to be in good shape, and the bars sound great. The motor even works! Difficult to find in most music departments.
