Hi folks,
revisiting ye' olde concept of upper structure triads. It's such a huge topic and you can apply it so many ways. Here's what I'm thinking about today.

Don't you just love how the pros post their versions of our tunes of the month. I think there are a few versions of ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE up now, right?

Similar to the first, but this one contains more counter lines than voicings. Enjoy!

hey someone in germany lost a set of vibe bars. did you? do you know or someone? email me for more info. a friend of mine found them.

My second attempt at recording Friedman's etude 7. I played with a click to ensure my time was solid, because it was anything but in my first recording.

Yeah vibes!

This version of "You Stepped Out Of A Dream" suggests a perhaps more "organic" way of starting a tune, as opposed to counting off, as is done too often for my taste. Starting free and slowly working one's way into the song can be a path towards a mutual discovery of how to play together. It's exciting because the feeling of walking a tight rope is always there.

Mallet Recording tips would be greatly appreciated!
