Happy Birthday Tony - From Marie & Bernard - "Chega"

Tony,

This tune is very special to me and to many people. It’s a true symbol for vibists, and I know for you too. It has beautiful lyrics and great lines, but difficult to play/sing.

So when my buddy Bernard proposed to do it as duet for Music Day I thought: Oh wow! Now this is a great challenge! And what if we’d finally manage something "listenable"? How cool to post it for Tony!!

One more from the start of my lessons with tony

Here is another thing I studied with tony when we started our lessons. It's Hank Mobley's solo on Remember. I actually made a bass part to play along with. If any of you guys are interested in the bass files, let me know and I'll post them. I even made these in all keys!

I make a few mistakes on the solo here, but you'll get the idea...

All in honor of Tony's birthday!! Lets all share, share, share!

Happy Birthday Tony - From the Frenchicks (M&E) - "La Vie en Rose"

Guess: two French chicks wanting to post a tune for a cool Philly guy. What might be their choice, huh? They will quickly get to a famous French love song, all in softness like a lullaby…

So here we go, Emilie and I… just for you! Cuz with you, it’s La Vie en Rose! :o)

Happy Birthday!
