One for the recession...

This is from a concert last week. I had sent a copy to Tony and he thought I should post it, so here "tis.

For those of you not old enough to know, this tune is from the era of the Great Depression. It is called Brother Can You Spare a Dime. The players here are Dan Hanrahan (guitar), Gabe Globus-Hoenich (drums), Justin Sekelewski (bass) and me.

Forum Topic: Problem with Audio only Lessons

Hi all! I have been a registered user for a while, but I just recently got on the subscription thing to get access to the lessons--finally have a little more time to practice; also my own vibes and practice space. (hurray!)

My question is this; every time I try to listen to an audio only lesson, it ends up only going 1/3 to 1/4 of the way through. For instance, If the audio is supposed to be 14 minutes, it usually only goes for around 3 minutes. Video seems to work fine. I am running on OSX with Firefox as a browser. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Joe Locke & Co - Stepping on Stars in Paris

|
One thing is sure: Joe Locke is far too seldom playing in France. But this Friday evening he was in Paris at 'Le Sunside', in the nice pedestrian jazz part of the city. This time, he was playing in a chamber trio with Rosario Giuliani on sax and Dado Moroni on piano.

Of course I was there, with my guitarist friend Bernard… and Florian who just turned 10. Mainly for him we were placed in the front row, but this venue is so small that from my seat if I’d bend my arm I could touch the vibes!

Little B's Poem

I've been practicing Little B's Poem today. I'm reminded on how important it is to work on solo versions of the tune. EVEN if you never get completely to the end, where it's a real solo tune you can play. BUT you get close.

I've realized today that when melodies have roots or 3rds in them that we have to come up with creative voicings., especially with dominant chords. So I've learned a lot today.

I was playing along with the cd and checking out the melody. Then I started to work on it as a solo tune and all this great stuff started happening for me.
