This is how it all started. Thanks for Barryk for spotting this!
Hello guys,
This is my last etude on the bebop lessons. Ofcorse this is not the end but the beginning. I now really know what to do and what to practise and that's great! Thanks all the guys for these lessons. I was practising a TOny's lesson which is about create lines diatonically (a thing that puts you into the world of bebop since - at least to me- is mostly a diatonic music) and I spontaneously combine this with the solo vibes totm. So 2 in the price of 11!!!!
After practising this into 12 keys the g and f seemed to me that is the better ones.
This clip is from a gig last January playing Ted's composition Ida Spoons which is based on Stella. The cameraman missed the head and part of Ted's solo which is a shame. Ted is composer/saxophonist with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra directed by Wynton Marsalis....and plays his rear off! What a pleasure this night was.

If anyone is interested, this is an article I wrote for PAS's periodical. I geared it towards a college student who is a percussion performance/education major, but the hardcore jazzer can get just as much out of it (I hope). Some of the musical spelling in the examples got botched (Fb is supposed to be E natural). Hopefully you guys like it.

Nico Farrugia is in Paris these days. He came to my home today and stayed for dinner! We had very great chat, a little music, compared some mallets, and Bruno prepared a nice barbecue to end a hot summer day. We took this picture before I brought him to the station. Come back soon Nico! :o)
