For many years now, I've been working with a local arts organization, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts (https://hopartscenter.org/). For the past several years I've organized what we've called the Sunset Jazz Concert series -- 6 to 8 outdoor jazz concerts during the summers on Saturday nights.

Two years ago, through some herculean fund raising, the HCA managed to complete building a new performance/gallery/instruction facility. At this time I added a monthly jam session, now on the 2nd Friday night of each month.

who's the guy who has the alternate set up for mallets. no spaces all the notes are rearranged. anyone know where the videos are? who is the guy?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

David Friedman will be here Oct 14th. I wanted to have a vibe hang for him. Any of you guys interested? Any New York guys want to take a ride down?

Let me know what you think in the comments.

wow, i did not know they played together...shame on me. 2 musicians with great chops. i was wondering that Mike played 1961 with 4 mallets...at least sometimes. i thought Gary was the only one who invented 4 mallets playing at that time...

選兩個小調和弦
Aminor(A,E,C,G) Bminor(B, F#, D, A)
然後去到Cminor(C,G, Eb, Bb)
試著自己找出tony演奏的這一系列和弦。

保持這樣的Voicing（和聲配置），然後只演奏root和3rd

可以自己創造出不同音的組合，創造出一個groove，
保持固定的Voicing（和聲配置），然後只演奏root和3rd
或是
R, 5th, 2nd, 3rd
或
R, 2nd, 3rd,
……….
這個練習可以幫助你練習技巧，協調性, 了解更多和聲配置。

I'm thinking about teaching people and thinking about what I teach them and explaining things to them.

It hit me, that you can't teach experience and that's the thing that's most important of all. Experience is being on the gig, playing with others. Experience is making mistakes in front of people. Making bad decisions and good decisions.

That's the most difficult thing when I think about this. When I tell students to get out and play and they don't, but they say they want to be good players, I don't know what to do.

選幾個和弦，play in time, 簡單的小練習，，可以練習很多東西，練習抓到groove and feel。
比如選一系列Fminor的和弦：
Root, 7th, 3rd, 5th 平行上行。
試著維持這樣的音程關係。
F, Eb, Ab, C
G, F, Bb, D
Ab, F, C, Eb
Bb, G, D, F
C, Ab, Eb, F
D, Bb, F, G
……….
可以只loop前四個和弦，然後play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態，定速演奏)，甚至演奏一些簡單的solo, 維持bass音。
＊play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態，定速演奏)時，就算有一點miss掉音，也還是保持節奏感。
也可以只演奏bass音（一路上行），然後solo。

John Keene sent me a recording of Monty Stark and John Abercrombie I posted it.

Here's an interview I found. I like this guy, didn't know anything about him. He seems cool, John Keene says he was.

Check out this interview of him:
