Just did a great gig at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. And they had this amazing cake made for me! Ahhhhh! What a great time!
I an practising chops like CRAZY but I went to a gig where a great gt. player and I talked about comping with 3 notes (3note comping). This can be triads or fourth or whatever you want.
In this lesson I play only triad. Can you guess which tune I played????!!!!!!

Solo piano clip of 2 choruses of Harold Arlen's "Over The Rainbow" with Keith Jarrett changes along with modulation as follows: first A in Eb, second A in F, bridge in F and last A in Db. This was taped during my Berklee improv class this past summer by pianist Ricardo Curto. The lead sheet can be viewed on Scribd here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113437494/Over-the-Rainbow-Reharm-Modulation
This is Paul's Pal by Sonny Rollins. This tune has a sense of humor in my opinion.
Joe Doubleday- Vibraphone
Alexander L. J. Toth- Bass
Diego Ramirez- Drums
This is a Rough mix of my original tune entitled "Cigahol"

Ok, that's enough with the chops, huh? I'm away for one week. Behn said he'd shoot me if I didn't end the chops TOTM.
So let's get back to a tune. ok? Just In Time me and Behn were thinking of.
I think Behn has one more chops exercise, so we'll start rapping things up. In as week we'll start JUST IN TIME.
My semester is coming to a close and I'll get some lessons up. I have more from Christos.
How about some more mini concerts? I love them!
Maybe a vibe hang in December?
Check this out.

Seven Rungs of Resistance
There are 7 basic rungs of resistance up the ladder of artistic success
1. Ignorance - Not your fault. Generally the result of a polluted environment. No one
knows, so you don't know.
Example: You think funk is jazz.
2. Miseducation - Your teachers are well meaning, but just don't know. It's no one's
fault. Example: someone tells you, you have to study classical music to become a jazz
musician. Bad advice.
3. Personal difficulties - You just have some major personal problems to overcome.
I have wanted to try Tony's idea of playing three tunes in a mini concert format for a while....finally had a some time on Sunday. I learned a lot from doing this...the good and the other:) Its also a good challenge to keep your focus for the duration...which I did most of the time. Also, no motor. Anyway, here is the program.
