在這個影片中，Tony只想說一點，那就是有經驗的鐵琴演奏者總是使用無根音的和聲配置(Rootless voicing)。
Tony開始告訴學生在演奏和弦ii-v-I時，V級Dominant和弦需要用到diminished scale，學生們便開始轉便成為真正有爵士語彙的演奏者。
演奏爵士樂時，真的很需要聽到那些和弦延伸音(extensions)。
如果你想要成為更好的爵士樂手，盡量少打根音，多運用一些九音、十一音、十三音等。

Tony要證明即興時，不需要敲擊和弦的根音，也能辨別出不同的和弦。
以C6和G7和弦為例，Tony示範即興，演奏漸漸的從有根音到無根音，聽者還是能分辨什麼時候從C6換成G7。
所以試著練習看看，你會發現我們在即興時，真的不需要敲擊根音，你也能聽到不同的和弦變換。
I love when some takes one of our instruments and plays them in a way that's simple and beautiful. This woman is amazing!
And the keyboard setup is cool. Anyone know how it's set up?
I like how little she rolls. Amazing players I think use the rests in a way that others don't. Many players on the Xylo and Marimba seem to roll too much for me. IMHO

The thing I think about premiere is that there are not a lot of them in the states. so it might be tricky to fix them.
i play premiere's in ireland. they're ok, decent vibes. they're a little noisier than even the musser. they are smaller than mussier, yamaha, or malletech.
what's the price? they're premiere right?
i can get you a used omega for about 3800 (i have to check so don't quote me). it's in great shape. not sure what you're price range is.
are they graduated bars?? if they're not graduated bars, then i say definitely no to them.
Do you know what a Mini concert is? (A concert here at VW where you play at least 2 songs without stopping and recording them and present them to us) Kind of feels like you're doing a concert.
I love this stuff. Finding ways to play for each other. I hope many of you will post Feb 25th for Mini Concert day.
My favorite and frustrating part is preparing for the recording.
Who do I play 2 songs by myself without stopping? That's the question I ask.
Here is Donna Lee. A Quick and Dirty Audio Duet. I played both parts. You can listen.
Your job is you accompany me and use rootless voicings. Download the Accompany me track. Use Garage Band or whatever to record your part. put them together and make an mp3 file and post it!
I can help! (Time permitting)
I've also included a PDF with some rootless voicing examples.
My student Dan Neville turned me on to 'The Mastersounds' the west coast MJQ started by Buddy Montgomery. My student who is a Californian said this to me. They do sound like a version of MJQ and maybe in a way a more aggressive and experimental version? Of course MJQ is great because of Bags and he is the best. But Bobby is SMOOOKIN'!!!!!!
Ashamed to say I didn't know of this. GREAT group! I do have Buddy CDs but no Mastersounds until now.
Just came across some video with Buddy's son? Relative? Not sure. But the video is interesting!!! He talks about the Mastersounds.
