＊Ballads - Energy and Motion
Translation for Chinese students
中文翻譯:

聊聊Ballads （慢速的樂曲），
常常我們在聆聽一個樂團演奏Ballads時，
會覺得速度好慢，似乎有些無聊，
Tony認為那是因為演奏者的演奏意圖、方向感、氛圍不夠明確，
所以這一集我們來嘗試一些練習，
看可以怎麼將慢速的曲子處理得漂亮。

首先，先找一個音，演奏Ballads的速度，
把速度和節奏感表現出來。
從Tony的示範中，
我們可以很清楚的聽到速度是什麼 ;
接著在一個和弦上來即興，並專注在同樣的事情上：保持速度感（Tony示範：GMajor7)。
如果你從來沒有演奏過Ballads，這是一個很棒的練習。

Tony示範了一首Ballad - I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face
他說，有些時候他在練習時，
只練習和弦的進行，把速度感保持好、感受和弦變化的時候的色彩張力，會幫助很大喔！

This is an interesting cd for vibe players to check out. Listen to Julian play. This is Guitar, Bass and Drums. Julian plays the melody a lot of the time and only adds one or two notes. When I hear stuff like this, I think immediately about playing in a trio, vibes, bass and drums. I see how little I have to play. I see how similar we are to the guitar in terms of comping and playing melodies. I learn so much from listening to guitar trio CDs!!!!

In this series watch, listen and learn. Really try to imitate David and how he is playing! - Tony Miceli

This is classic Lionel Hampton. It has all his tricks and signature moves. That is Ray Brown on bass and Buddy Rich on drums, so Lionel was right at home.

It's from the mid 1950's so it shows the influence that some of the more modern players like Milt Jackson were already starting to have on his playing. Mostly, his subdivisions are close to a triplet feel, but he does vary it and sometimes play straight eighths and other times, a dotted eighth/sixteenth feel.
