Here's another version of Besame Mucho that I had recorded a few weeks ago.

Working on some four mallet techniques while playing the classic Besame Mucho...

Hey guys,

this week its monks reflections. i put in the key of Bb.

this is kind of the first monk tune i really practiced. its so damn hard to speak in this "monk language" when you never did it before. i listend to the solo piano records and the trio records of monk and his time and the harmonical language is soo amazing.
so, mine is not, thats why i'm not so happy with this record. i definetly have to work more on this.
how did you practice monk tunes? what helped you? any suggestions for other monk tunes to practice?

Hi All,
December is coming up fast and so is the next Good Vibes. I'm happy to introduce Kevin Hart to listeners of the show. He's the first on the playlist with a fabulous arrangement of the Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays tune, "Here to Stay." It's a live recording but not yet released on CD. Kevin, if you are reading this, please remedy that soon!
