I did some work on Donna Lee last summer, so I'm going to challenge myself this week to play the head in all 12 keys.

I'll start today with Ab and D. Someday it would be cool to work each key up to tempo, but I'll be content with medium swing for now.

Fried Bananas

I've recorded a couple of albums recently at the same studio - both my own record which is coming out later in the year, and another band I'm in which we're recording right now.

Hi all,

Here are some exercises and etudes for Fried Bananas. Pick two of them and post. This will count towards a pass for the week. Good luck!

Another discovery - By his name he should be Polish. A lot of body language but I like what he plays. Enjoy...
