Was driving home in my car the other day and this tune came on the radio, man it just blew me away, it was an arrangement of a Jobim number called Mojave. just a quartet, Guitar Hammond B3 Sax and Drums. Boy did they swing. A guy called Bob DeVos on gtr, I had never heard of him until then but I went straight on to Itunes and bought this album. Its a really great album and would recommend it highly. He is on you tube as well Here is the gtr solo, some beautiful lines in here. Anyone here familiar with his stuff?

Here's a lesson on one of my favorite aspects of studying bebop. I love playing bebop, but this is the stuff that I take away from it that infuses everything else I play.

I'm a great fan of Marco. He is really really good ! And not known enough to my point of view. Here is a new demonstration of his talent.
Enjoy !

Tonight I played with my trio, and suddenly during one tune a kind of trap happened : I had a problem during the whole tune with the damper bar's screw, and at the end our drummer had a problem with his bass drum pedal, then we screwed up some passages, but at the same time the energy was good, and there was a fair amount of people dancing on our music. Finally we somehow managed to play and maintain the dancing energy, but I don't know exactly how we did. I just wanted to share this little experience, showing the reality of live music as it can sometimes be... ;-)

Listen to Wolfgang Schlüter!!! (1988)
Solo starts at 2:50 min.
Unbelievable timing and phrasing!
Have fun!

So as you guys know, I just moved to Philly! It was a rough start getting here (the moving company I used sucked @$$), but all is great now! I love this city, I am so happy to be here. I had dinner with Tony tonight and I told him this story. He told me that I had to share it with you guys. I laughed and agreed it would be a good one to let everyone in on. This is not made up, this really happened to me...

Been working on this for a few weeks so here is my first half decent post on it. Tried to keep it simple and short 2 choruses, Heard a slower version on you tube and based it on this feel Apologies for the quality, I tried uploading in WAV format which is much cleaner but kept rejecting it. (Tony??)
