What a great tune Flamenco Sketches is for working on chords and chord melodies. There is no melody so it's all you! I love practicing this tune.
We are trying something different this year in Germany. Instead of the big full blown workshop, we thought to try a two day intense workshop for players who want to quickly gather a lot of information. There will be handouts, and workshop topics to focus on specific areas of vibe playing. Then you take all this info home and practice!

You can do it!
A beautiful song my pianist Keith Jarrett. I remember seeing him do this and "Country" live on SNL in the 70s. It was incredible. His album with his European band playing this is also fantastic.
I have a buddy that picks a tune each week and sends out an email with a bunch of curated videos about the tune.
So I thought I'd post them here for everyone to see. And if you're interested you can check out the videos.
The tune is Humpty Dumpty the person is a great bass player, Tim Lekan. He used to live near me and now lives in Cincinnati I think. Also a great friend.
A very simple idea, but check out the pdf and work this through all the keys.
If you're more advanced try and figure ways to solo on this as well.
Mike still playing great!
Dear all,
I'm very happy to present the " Odysseys " trailer with the amazing Alexandra Soumm on violin!
We've been playing together for over 5 years, a lot through our NGO Esperanz'Arts, and now we're so happy to show this work to all of you :-)
All the music in the trailer is live and original pieces but Odysseys includes Bartok, Sarasate, De Falla...
