Your assignment is to learn this tune. What's cool about it is it's rhythm changes in Ab. The other cool thing are the players. They're monsters.

The melody is simple! maybe 5 notes total! But the rhythms are hard! That is hard to make them swing. So that's your assignment. Play the melody with the metronome, etc.

This is just to give you an idea of a concept and way of playing.

It eventually will let you play lines with two mallets while using your outside left mallet to comp.

Frits starts with the bass line and then moves to the changes.

An old member of the site (Tifoo) sent this transcription from one of my videos of Bluesette. It's just the head, but I thought I'd post it.

Here's the video: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/video/bluesette-video/tonymiceli/010109
