Just so others can learn about you. Post a couple of your fav cds. I know some of you have done this in other spots on the site, but maybe it's a good idea to do it here. So people start getting a sense of you before we meet in person.

Any corny things like this that you guys think of, please post!

My top cds:

Coltrane and Milt
Gary Burton - Alone At Last
Bill Evans - Alone
Bill Evans and Tony Bennet (the first cd)
Milt - Quadrant
Philly Orchestra Playing the Rite of Spring

Of course this will change tomorrow

As for parking, Harvey says:

If they are staying in the dorms, they can leave their cars for free in a lot near the dorms. If they want drive to the music bldg each day, they will have to pay to put it in the garage. Harvey

Check out Dave Pike at a Garden Party in Germany. John Keened found this one. He sounds great I think.

Ok, something is up with video and we're trying to figure what is going on, so we could use your help.

First we've set the page not to autoload (probably should switch it back). And it's supposed to autoplay, but that seems not to be working with some.

So first make sure (for now) that you hit the bottom triangle, that should start the video loading.

Next, if you have a second and can check in here, let me know 2 things.

Is the video loading? (hit the small triangle at the bottom, it should load even if slowly)
Is the video streaming?

Mike Pinto came over to hang out and we played a few tunes. Here's Jitterbug Waltz

Here's me trying to delve into Mike's world with cell structures and all the rest. The sounds are different for me as well as the approach. It was interesting because things would happen and I would think sounded bad and Mike really dug it. I don't play like this too often and musical taste is definitely acquired.

I thought it would be interested to post this to see a pretty mainstream player trying to play this way!

Mike Pinto came over to hang out and play. Here he is playing over Chick's Children Song #2.

i'm playing with a pianist in a few weeks. i've heard some vibes and piano duo recordings, but i'm wondering what everyone else has to say. also if there's any tips on playing with a pianist that anyone has that'd be greeat too.
