I figured I'd try and record this from memory, despite only starting to memorize it a few days ago. Lots of little technical errors but the goal was to put up something displaying my level of technical competence at this point. My apologies to David for the misplaced notes and errors. I decided to learn this a couple of weeks ago for a concert gig I did last week with a harpist. I needed a little solo piece to include and I found this, and liked it. Anyway, the first video is loaded. Just beginning this journey so lots to learn.

Here is a list of things on the website, lessons I liked a lot or thought were important. For me it's all of them I guess.

Can any of you guys copy a link of something you thought was interesting and help and put it in the comments? I'll Building on this. This would be especially for new comers to the site or players who don't know what to practice. Pick something from here!

Looking For Something to Study?

Recorded this on the fly yesterday with the phone for Fourth of July 2018. With some reharm here and there. A beautiful and timeless song.

Peter Weniger and I did a reading of the piece, originally for solo vibraphone. Basically Peter plays the melody and I try to leave out certain phrases that were written in the solo version to avoid too much information. This varies from the written solo because we deviate from the written out solo and improvise a solo together. It's not perfect, which I kind of like but I dig the feel.

Way too hot to work in the yard today so I'm in the house playing some vibes. I was running through an Astor Piazzolla book featuring his compositions and came across this song titled "Tango Choc". I'm basically sight reading through this. The song plays itself. Beautiful melody and harmony. I love Astor Piazzolla's music.

All keys all modes

You have any? post them here. Interesting ways of practicing scales!

This is an arrangement of Peace with the melody in the bass. It works surprisingly well and opens up some interesting possibilities for the harmony.

Hi Everyone,
July's program is coming up on the 1st (rebroadcast on the 4th) with two new players, John Cocuzzi and Lennie Cuje. Cuje plays on "In Walked Bud," from Ron Holloway's CD Slanted. Cocuzzi plays the ever so wistful "What'll I Do," on his album Groove Merchant.
Dee Dee Bridgewater vocalizes with Milt Jackson, Paul Jost with Tony (the one and only), and Helen Humes with Red Norvo. Severi Pyysalo plays with the Vilka Wahl Quintet, Warren Wolf with the SF Jazz Collective and Tony has an encore on my son Nicholas' original "Big Pharma."
