My student Pablo was asking about writing a piece with one not as the melody.

So I recommended he write down a bunch of chords with B (his note for the melody, trying to use chords with B as an upper partial as well as a third or fifth.

I figured I'd quickly try and bang out my own version. So here it is. gave myself a couple tries and about 10 minutes.

After two years of retirement, Terry Gibbs performed with a new version of his Dream Band in May, 2016 and shows that he hasn't lost a step despite being 91 years old at the time. He swings through a Steve Allen composition, "Playing the Field", followed by a favorite, "What's New", where his solo is a master class in playing a ballad.

For those interested, Anthony Smith's excellent book, Masters of the Vibes, devotes an important chapter to Terry, who recounts the many trials and tribulations of a jazz master through many decades of playing.
