Gary Burton solo from Native Senses

by Victor Schertzinger

There are two tunes called Milestones by Miles Davis (he wrote both right?)

The old one which is more a bebop kind of tune and the new one which is more modal. Here's the funny thing, they are both really old. So it should be 'the older Milestones and the old Milestones'!

Here's my chord melody. It's not easy.

Hey Everybody,
I'll be posting the info on Good Vibes October radio show at my website www.gloriajazz.com. Check it out!
Kevin Norton is new to the show. Much of his work seems experimental but a track on his new album, Yimba Rudo, caught my ear. It's "Winter Retreat" (we'll be there before we know it). It's moody, icy and atmospheric.

This is a short clip of me playing the 10th dampening exercise from David Friedman's book. Comments welcome!

“East of the Sun” - some Sunday morning practice with this classic standard after a little hiatus from the vibes due to a vacation. Working here with a focus on incorporating runs and fills while keeping the time going. These concepts will be covered in a chapter of the solo vibraphone book that I’m working on. Inspiration for me in this area comes from pianists like Art Tatum, George Shearing and Oscar Peterson.
