Andrea was in a music school with adults. They were learning Giant Steps. He couldn't grasp the theory, so he just went home and learned it by himself. Now listen.

Any this story comes from John Daly. (John do i have it right?)

Fresh from this morning, an exercise in cool jazz. A long-distance session with my pal J.B. I sent him the vibes-bass track, he added the piano, and then I added the drums.

Chris Farr - sax
tony miceli - vibes
tom lawton - piano
micah jones - bass
jim miller - drums

Hi, Can someone tell me about the Adams SV1 Soloist Vibraphone, 3.1 octaves? is the frame easy to disassemble and re-assemble for gigs? Thanks, J Maffia

Interesting because we've been talking about playing solo.

Denny is also a psychiatrist and a great pianist. He wrote the tune in the Real Book 'Quiet Now'.

Here's a quick lesson on stuff I'm working on. Just passing it on for whatever it's worth!

Hi everybody. It's been a long time, I know. I went into hibernation for a couple of months in order to study that book by Hal Galper, Forward Motion. I did some artwork (pastels, a real cool hobby)as well and so I lost touch with all of you guys. I'm really ashamed. Here is some Body and Soul I played yesterday, over a comping tape that my piano-player friend JB Mira made for me (bass and dms are Real Tracks). Here it is. I promise to come back on the site more regularly.

This time I hope to get some feed back for as you know Jazz has been my life. I will be 86 yrs old October 13th and I am still trying to find different things to play on songs that I have been playing all my life (Not Easy). Now what I am about to say will throw a curve to a lot of your members but I say this from experience and I will try to explain what I am about to say as best as I can.

"YOU CANNOT TEACH ANYBODY TO REALLY PLAY JAZZ!" What you can teach them is how to compose, write songs. Back in the 50's I had a student that played the Vibes pretty good and now wanted to play jazz.

Cool tune!
