hi,
inspired by ed saindon´s post of the 4 to the bar basin street blues, i tried to practice this with donna lee the last days. i recently restaurated an old portable low budget tape recorder with a built in micro which i used for this recording to give it the old record vintage feeling :)

anyone got advice on traveling across country on a train with a musser M48 travel vibe? i was thinking about using a dolly to roll the pieces around....

Thanks John Daly for sending me this!

This won't stay up long i bet, so enjoy it for now!

Here's pt. 1 of a three part lesson on turnarounds. There are so many, so I tried to stick to the critical, and most practical ones. Enjoy!

Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 I. Aria: Cantilena-44k

Keeping lines sounding really clean and clear is tough with vibes. It's easy to let notes ring together and just as easy to let notes ring together that shouldn't be. We have 3 tools to control ringing - the pedal, mallet/hand dampening, and using dead strokes.

I use dead strokes all the time to keep my lines sounding as clean as possible. This video clip demonstrates one example of where using dead strokes can make your playing sound just a bit better. The better you become at listening for notes ringing that should'nt be the better your playing will sound.

This is Tony's Funk transcription that he posted. The reason you can't hear then background track is because it's going through my headset.

here is the etude...

I've heard about this young player yesterday. He's from Martinique, and lives in the same town as me, Montpellier ! Won the first price of "Conservatoire de Perpignan" (nearby French town).
Enjoy !
