A beautiful song my pianist Keith Jarrett. I remember seeing him do this and "Country" live on SNL in the 70s. It was incredible. His album with his European band playing this is also fantastic.

I have a buddy that picks a tune each week and sends out an email with a bunch of curated videos about the tune.

So I thought I'd post them here for everyone to see. And if you're interested you can check out the videos.

The tune is Humpty Dumpty the person is a great bass player, Tim Lekan. He used to live near me and now lives in Cincinnati I think. Also a great friend.

A very simple idea, but check out the pdf and work this through all the keys.

If you're more advanced try and figure ways to solo on this as well.

Mike still playing great!

Dear all,
I'm very happy to present the " Odysseys " trailer with the amazing Alexandra Soumm on violin!
We've been playing together for over 5 years, a lot through our NGO Esperanz'Arts, and now we're so happy to show this work to all of you :-)
All the music in the trailer is live and original pieces but Odysseys includes Bartok, Sarasate, De Falla...

so, here is my second post about what I've been up to the last couple of years.

Please join vibraphonist Tom Beckham and guitarist Brad Shepik for a special evening of vibraphone and guitar music as they both debut at Mezzrow.
Beckham and Shepik dig in and explore original compositions and jazz classics with six strings and four mallets–something to like here for all music lovers, especially those who appreciate the duo format.

FEBRUARY 6, 2018

Doors open at 7 PM
Sets at 8 PM & 9:30 PM
There is a $20 music charge for this show.

Hi Everyone,
Here's the lowdown on February's Good Vibes. I'll be playing tracks by Lionel Hampton, Red Norvo, Milt Jackson and Terry Gibbs in this edition to salute these early adapters. We, players and listeners, are indebted to them for giving the instrument its jazz voice, or in this case, voices since each one has a style all his own.
