David,

I’d like to ask if you’d take another trip down memory lane with regards to your experiences regarding for Creed Taylor’s CTI Records as well with Rudy Van Gelder (engineer). My discovery of you started with Hubert Laws’s records, and fortunately my local AM jazz radio station was really great about naming the sidemen on all the records they played. You were well-known around my area.

Hello to everyone:

This is an audio file with the interview to Dimitris Angelakis and me at the Radio Burela because of the "III Workshop de Improvisación e Vibráfono" this past July/28/2014 in Burela (Galicia, Spain).

The interview, which was done in galician and english, talks about that wokshop and the impressions of Dimitris and me about that.

We are working hard to continue this movement and try to do many and more things in the future.

Thanks Dimitris for coming again to Spain

Hi, This is my first video on vibes workshop. I have only been on this site for a week and it has already changed my playing. Thanks!

Check the harmonization of the melody.
Thank you!

Hey all,

Not really an official lesson here, but thought I'd post a version of our TOTM where I just play the melody through a few times. With each version, I try to do different things with the phrasing, leaning back, forward, decorating notes, etc. I'm playing along with a crappy i Real Pro thing, but it should give an idea of how you can mess with phrasing. It would be nice to see some other posts here with your versions! Have fun with it!

Practicing improv (using Pentatonic scales) on Green Dolphin Street today before a class at Berklee. It's good to play on piano in order to hear how the scales and colors sound over the chord. Favorite pianists that use Pentatonics so well include Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Mulgrew Miller, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Kirkland and Dave Kikoski. When I get a chance, I'll post a sheet on googledocs that lists which Pentatonics I'm using for the changes. Ed
