hey guys,

i decided to post another record from my practice journal. and hope for some critics of you. :)

the tunes i played:

darn that dream
recorda me
beautiful friendship
alone together

i don't want to translate all my (german) notes, but to summarize it:

- swing phrasing should be better
- be careful of pushing the time
- often to many notes
- calm down.

I hope i can get some good advices from all of you.

thanks and cheers,

hauke

I'm continuing with the theme of ostinatos, using our TOTM "Footprints". No melody in this, just a left handed ostinato, with some upbeat chord colors in the right. The etude is supposed to have a drone-like effect. Enjoy!

Hi everyone
One small sample from my latest gig in Philadelphia.
Thanks for watching!

Yeah you don't have to be on time. Just get there around midnight, ok?

BTW you guys are tough crowd. I don't get any respect! I asked the cab driver to take me to where the action is.... he took me to my house. I don't get any respect. (American's help out the foreigners)

I'm telling ostinatos are the ((*&. they are changing my whole outlook on playing vibes. NOT that I'm going to play ostinatos. but they are changing how I'm hearing lines against lines, They're magical. I have to finish a solo I'm transcribing now. After that I think I want to try a Gyil transcription. Or at least pieces of it.

I feel like I'm becoming free from doing the little I'm doing with ostinatos. I want to do more!
