You're assignment is to learn the melody.
Post a comment here that says you know it, or post a video of you playing simply the melody. Do this before you go on to lesson two.
I added the lead sheet below.
Some ideas for things to do while we are all huddled up in our homes because of the Corona Virus. It's also for after all this is over as well. It's using Play alongs and Playlists to keep tunes in your head!
Playing pan and congas at a local Indianapolis club.
I am trying to play vibraphone with broken thumb after a stupid bicycle accident.
Next week they will nail my thumb - an unpleasant imagination.
But it is not acceptable not to play for 8 weeks.
I told myself before this performance, to just have a good time, and practice in front of people. This is my attempt at putting the "play" back into playing.
Unfortunately, I didn't find the time to work on a Christmas tune this year, so this is a repost of an arrangement I did two years ago of the Christmas Carol "In the Bleak Midwinter." Even though it's not a jazz thing, I'm really proud of this one. I love the sound of chorale-style voices on the vibes.
Merry Christmas!
This is an arrangement of "Someone to Watch Over Me" that I have been working on for the last few weeks. It's inspired by the Keith Jarrett solo version from "The Melody at Night, With You."
I always find my arranging ability outpaces my technical ability on the instrument, so it's always a struggle to play these things well, especially when the tape is on.
I deleted my previous text because I did a second take of the tune.
It's recorded better!
So who wants to play a duet with me?
