"How My Heart Sings" composed by Earl Zindars and played by pianist Bill Evans on his 1964 recording titled the same name. Bill and Earl were good friends and Bill played quite a few songs composed by Earl. I first learned this song way back when I was studying with Gary Burton in the 70s. It was played quite a lot around Berklee back then. There's another great version from pianist Mulgrew Miller on the recording Young At Heart from drummer Tony Williams. My fantastic student/vibist Lucas Amorim and I have been working on this song in the past few lessons.

Cole Porter’s “I Love You” - using a variety of improv techniques from my improv series The Complete Guide To Improvisation (available from Amazon, www:edsaindon.com and the Berklee College of Music bookstore in Boston). I used this song in Volume Two in the Four Note Grouping chapter. I listed the groupings used for each chord and wrote out a solo based upon the concept. For copyright reasons I named the song “I Loathe You”.

Here´s the 2nd Video i made for the RZ Percussion Group.

Been working on this for lesson; tried getting a video together before heading to the airport. Comments appreciated!

Check out Marie from San Fran. She has not been playing that long and she's already playing in a band. It's a big deal and will really improve your playing if you can get in an ensemble. FORGET about waiting until you're "good enough". You're wasting too much time. Marie sounds great!!!

This is Stuart Hoffman from Canada. He does a great job on it!
