Here is your assignment:

Play this all over your instrument. Just play the progression. Grab a spot and a voicing and play it. Move to another spot and play it. Use the chord symbols, not the notes. Play in all inversions.

I'm using this in a lesson. Here's the lesson http://www.vibesworkshop.com/node/13070

Ok let's move to another TOTM.

How about:
All the Things You Are
and
Prince Albert

Do you know about these tunes? Prince Albert is a contrafact of All the Things You Are. That is same chords but new melody.

Prince Albert is a great bebop tune and GREAT to play through all the keys.

So you're studying one set of chord changes, but two tunes.

So get ready for some fun lessons!

Hello everyone, I just created a new YT channel titled Ed Saindon Piano. Uploaded clips include solo piano versions of Danny Boy (using harmony from Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett) as well as several renditions of Tennessee Waltz. Here's a clip of Over The Rainbow that includes several modulations along with some harmony by Keith Jarrett.

A copy of the lead sheet with the harmonized changes and modulations can be downloaded here:

I had an amazing and busy summer.

I can inform all of you including Gary Burton and Dave Friedman who talked about the demise of the vibraphone that it is still out there and strong. Sure not like a guitar, but it's there and WE are all having an effect on that.

You guys along with me are playing and talking about the instrument and we're making a difference. I think the instrument has grown a lot in the last 7 years. I am so psyched by what I've seen this summer.
