Vibe Diary August 15th

BTW - anyone can start the vibe diary. I personally think it's pretty cool for someone to start talking about what they're doing and then all the rest of us join in.

I was glad to finally have a day where I don't have to practice other peoples music. i do have a session tomorrow but the music is not that tough. And I do do a bunch of gigs with Diane Monroe, but I think I got a handle on all that!! We will see.

Forum Topic: Ear Training??

Hello everybody,
I've been transcribing a lot and I think that definetely helps my ears, but I'm hoping you guys have some advice on some other things to help with ear training. I've done some things online before, and just sat down on the piano and worked on hearing diferent intervals. That helped too.
Are there any apps, techniques or routines to get better at hearing intervals/chords and all that?
Thanks!

Google Calendar Lost a Date?

Man I missed a brunch gig today. I knew I put the gig into Google calendar, I remember checking the time with the cat and checking my next gig after it today. I remember putting the date in the calendar.

I wasn't there and I missed the damn gig! Now I'm freaked out. Do I go back to paper? Could I have done something weird and deleted it?? What a mess. I'm going to pay the bass player what he was going to make today.

19 WAYS TO COMPING AUTUMN LEAVES by JIM THE VIBES

HELLO EVERYBODY. I HAVE BEEN WORKING THE AUTUMN LEAVES FOR ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MONTH. AT I THOUGHT I KNOW THIS TUNE, SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF PRACTICE AGAIN. I WAS WRONG. I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS TUNE. ONE OF THE THINGS I LEARNED WAS WAS VARIOUS WAYS OF COMPING THE DOMINANT AND IN SOME CASES THE PRE-DOMINANT CHORDS. I FIGURED 19 WAYS, INCLUDING THE DROP 2 TECHNIQUE, IN SOME EXAMPLES. I HOPE YOU FIND THIS INTERESTING. IT TOOK A LOT OF TIME TO ORGANIZE THIS. SO , IF I HAVE MISTAKES OR MISUNDERSTANDINGS, DON'T JUDGE HARD AND FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME.

Autumn Leaves (final)

Sorry, this comes a bit late, when everybody is already thinking about the next TOTM. I wish I had played more chords here, as I've spent a weeks playing chords and chord subs on Autumn Leaves. But I when started playing, I found myself playing lines. (Well, there are some chords as well). I made a point of using the substitutions that Behn discusses in his lesson. I think they are all there.
