Christmas Time Is Here (Guaraldi/Mendelsohn) performed by Dana Sudborough

Happy Holidays everyone!! Hoping next year is the year of the vibes, where no one calls it a xylophone ever again!! (ba dum chik!)

Just posting this track that was on Gloria Krolak's december program along with the track I did with Marie (It's should be linked to here) for holiday cheer.

In case you were wondering, I play all the parts you hear here on my VanderPlas LW40 and Marimba (about 5 tracks I think).

Best wishes to all for the new year!

Lines!

I"m in the Caribbean for a few more weeks. I spend my days practicing, checking out vibesworkshop, reading and gigging.

I've really been thinking about lines all the time and practicing them. I brought the Omnibook don't and am checking out Confirmation. I'm seriously thinking about going cover to cover with the book. I've done a few of the solos but not in any order. I would really love to spend a year or two checking out Parker.

Lines Festival - Practice Tape 12-1 by Tony Miceli

One way I practice lines is to practice lines, and I record them. Then I just play along with them and sometimes record that.

Playing along keeps me involved and listening. I can really hear any time problems or anything else when I'm playing along. I really like practicing like this.

With our Lines Festival happening, I thought I'd post some practice tapes of mine and you guys can play along with them. I think since it's a Lines Festival I think you should try and comp with only single lines.

Falling in Love With Love - Behn Gillece/Johnny O'Neal

Hey all,

I was going through some gigs and forgot about this performance. I was doing my normal Tuesday gig at Smalls, and when we opened it up for a jam session, Johnny O'Neal came in. Johnny is a great pianist and vocalist, and has performed with so many greats, including a favorite of many people on this site, Milt Jackson! Anyway, Johnny had requested that we play duo. Naturally, I was terrified, haha! It turned out to be alot of fun, and here is a tune that we ended up playing. Hope you enjoy it.
