It Might As Well Be Spring by John Mark Piper

Piper 7 March 2009

I hadn't posted anything in a long while and so I went digging. Here's a recording I did in 2006 of "It Might As Well Be Spring". Tony and Ed also did a version of this and it hasn't been posted here yet so I thought with the season changing, this would be a good one to post. You have to be patient because it's another one with a long intro. My objective to these long intros is to have fun with it and create an ambience that would make the vibe sound bigger when it actually comes in with the arrangement.

Chega by Tony Miceli

So I went down to Brazil today and recorded this tune. :-)

The recent video that was posted of Gary playing this inspired me to work on it again. Gary's version is probably for me the greatest example of solo vibe playing ever recorded. Working on this tune only strengthens that opinion for me.

We'll see about the solo section, I've been messing around with it. It's pretty tricky. But I thought for fun I'd post this much of what I've been working on.

I figure if you're gonna learn you might as well learn from the masters and pick up what you can!!!

Name That Tune

Here's a solo I did with my improv class. I'll post it with bass, but I thought first for fun, that I'd put it up with no accompaniment and see if you guys can guess what tune it is that the solo is over.

Then we can work on the tune.
