Thought this might be inspiring. Some great lines to steal!

I was inspired by the Park Stickney version. Park Stickney for those who don't know is a great harpist player. He plays great in every style.

Here's a version of my good friend Mark Carlsen on bass and I playing Irving Berlin's How Deep Is The Ocean. This is a great tune to play. Some of my favorite versions would be Chick Corea's (a somewhat reharmonized version titled Now He Beats The Drum) on the album Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Of course, Bill Evans' version on the Exploration album from 1961 with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and Keith Jarrett's version (with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette) from his week at the Blue Note in 1994.

Are you sick of rhythm changes yet? Here's some relief if you are!

The last mini-lesson I posted on VW seemed to raise more questions than it solved... Ok that is cool, the idea is to explore many things and try to get better. We all need to do this, and it never stops as a player. It's a constant journey.

In the Coltrane lick I had been working on, I suggested a double sticking that some of you pointed out was actually a triple sticking. So I had to look into that, cause I wasn't even slowing it down enough to realize I was doing that, and upon further review, it is not something I would actually recommend doing.

one of my favor bob marley tunes ..

Here is another first for the malletkat .. was a bit of a techy thing but luckily it worked .

I use Cubase sx 3 to generate the the vibe sample thru the malletkat, so i imported a track of summertime from one the jamey abersold vol's i have .. and just hit record ...

not the greatest mix .. but wat i want to find out is how the sample would test up to a virtual combo .. not too bad .. more single lines at first and by the end i comped a bit to see wat that sound and felt like ...
