Some tips on combining 5 and 4.

Hey guys, here's an excerpt of Bluesette from a recent quartet gig. Ed

This is a gig I played in August 2011.The line up is John Rohde tenor sax,Rick Montalbano keyboard,Rick Montalbano Jr drums and myself Jimmy Johns(drumdog1) on vibes.

An old member of the site (Tifoo) sent this transcription from one of my videos of Bluesette. It's just the head, but I thought I'd post it.

Here's the video: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/video/bluesette-video/tonymiceli/010109

The transcription is below.

One of my favorite groups! This is cookin!

Listen to the lines and the counter lines. What a masterpiece.

What up, VWS. I am trying to post everyday, so in light of that... here is what I worked on for a good part of the day. I took an etude for Prince and worked it out incorporating all the sticks. This was pretty difficult for me. I mess up the head a little bit, because I was so brain dead by the time I recorded this. This is but half the etude, it is a two chorus etude, so in the next few days I will post the whole thing. I'm still always working on the "sweet spot" of pedaling lines... not too ringy, but enough to give sustain.
