Hey guys! I came here about 5 months ago for some help with finding an internship and after how amazing that was I'm back for some help in creating a class for myself. I'm looking to learn Jazz Theory from a few books. I've worked things out with the theory teacher at my school so I can get credit, I just need to find a few books to use because its going to be self-guided. I've looked around Amazon.com and its simply overwhelming (I do recall seeing a book that Tony left a review for but I can't remember the title to go back to it).

What's great about a workshop, I'm realizing is the concentration of it all. Everybody is out of their environment and together for one reason and that's to talk about the vibes. That was the last four days. Everybody made progress in those four days. They took shifts in the school at night practicing on the 2 Premieres and the Musser (Nico, get VPB to Ireland). We all worked hard, everyone was so cool and supportive.

This has been a great week for me. The 7 vibe players here taking the workshop are great guys and love playing the vibes. So we've been getting into some great discussions about how to learn tunes, playing melodies, separating the parts of the, i.e., the melody, the chords and then the chord melody.

Let's all wish Barryk a happy birthday. Besides being the first subscriber on the site Barryk is one of the nicest guys you could every meet! And he's a hard worker and loves practicing and playing the vibes!

We were working on some modal ideas!
