Turn Out The Stars - Study Pack

tonymiceli 27 December 2024

This is video, audio and a pdf all with etudes for the tune Turn Out The Stars by Bill Evans. 

It's a complicated tune, but I always think even the complicated tunes spell all the harmony out. It all makes sense musicially. 

Here are the videos: 

 

 

 

Attached is the pdf file with all the transcriptions of the videos and more. There is a pdf of all the scales from the tune and an mp3 to hear all the scales. You should hear the tune, which means. at the very least if you stay inside the scales we should hear the tune even if you're monophone.

hello! I was looking through all of VW for Latin jazz posts and all I kept seeing the same style of posts over and over so I thought "hey, let me add some pizzazz in here for Hispanic Heritage Month!"

still don't know what I'm going to be doing but I'll be popping in from time to time to post something in here through the month of festivities.

TOTM - Pannonica

tonymiceli 20 August 2024

I'm working on Monk's Pannonica, which was written for Pannonica de Koenigswarter. Monk spent the last 10 years in the upstairs of her Apartment in New York. 

This is a great tune. I've been working on it for a little bit now. Ballads are great because you can use the pedal more and your sound can be 'wetter'.

Here are two versions of the tune. Of course a Monk version and then a Chick Corea version. He does it a little quicker.

Also is attached is an etude and an mp3 of the etude. I did the etude on my malletkat. I think I have a good vibe sound!
