Roger's recent post playing with iReal Pro inspired me to show what I've been working on with iReal as well. This is one of those Q&D "Just hit play and whatever happens happens" recordings. Thanks Roger :)

Very sad. I have some great memories of Dave.

Of course he left a lot of great music behind.

My Samuels story is going to a gig he had in Delaware with my best friends wife. He was working and said take Annie with you! So we went. Had a great time I think. It was 40 years ago!!!! I remember a couple things.

The club was empty except for us.
Dave played great but I don't remember who was in the band. I bet it was piano and vibes, however none of that has stayed in my memory. I just remember thinking about how great he was!

Tony told me about iReal last August, and I like to use it to work on tunes before trying them with the band. So here are melody lines, no improvisation, for two classics: Armando's Rhumba, and I Remember Clifford.

A little smile...

Eclipse, the final track from my first Cubist CD, began as a vibe improvisation/groove in 12/8. Layers of percussion — balafon, Marimba, African drums, tabla, gongs — were added to build a tune. It features Randy Roos on guitars and Noam Sender on duduk and vocals.

I taught her in grad school. she never played jazz before grad school.

I told her she'd be a mo fo. Humbly she brushed it off. It's going to happen. Listen to her play this ballad.
