Playing an old classic from 1922 with Billy on clarinet, Mark on upright bass and myself on vibes taped during a session here at the house on 3/22/15. An enjoyable day having friends over to play, hang and have dinner. Special thanks to Gustavo Agatiello for overseeing the audio and videotaping.

Wuppertal 2015 - Spring Vibes !

Hey,

I was reading Pau'l post, wondering if Spring Vibes in Wuppertal had even happened, and I realised no one had the time to write/post a little something about it... so here I am!

This year was the 3rd times that Matthias Goebel had in hands the organization of our Winter European Workshop. And as usual it was a great moment to share ! I only arrived on Friday afternoon so I know I missed some very cool lessons/gigs/presentation, but I'm always happy to be there every year and meet my "vibes buddies"!

Pentatonic improv on Green Dolphin Street -V

Here's a clip on improvising with Pentatonic scales for the standard Green Dolphin Street. There is a post on the All Things Improvisation blog that includes this videoclip as well as a page listing the pentatonic scales being applied. Vibist Volker Heuken from Nuremberg, Germany did an excellent job transcribing the solo.

Spicing up a Standard - Harmonic Concepts as Applied to Stella By Starlight

Article from 1985 addressing harmonic concepts as applied to Stella By Starlight. Hard to imagine that I wrote this 30 years ago. The great thing about music is that I'm still working on these concepts. It never ends.

Here's the article:
