Nice song by Benny Carter. It starts on the four chord as in "Just Friends". I think it's fun and helpful to think about all of the tunes that start on various chords like the IV chord. Another example would be to call tunes that start on the II7 like "But Not For Me" or "Our Love is Here to Stay". Might make for a fun post. Ed

More ideas for getting familiar with the diminished scale and ideas for lines.

This etude is similar to the first. It's a little faster, and most of the voicings have been adjusted to nice, wide, open voicings. Very conducive to solo vibes playing!

hey,
this is a simple tune i wrote recently and recorded as a solo vibes piece.
hope you like it.
