Further ideas about playing over a minor IV to I resolution in jazz.

Hi Everyone,
Good Vibes enters its THIRD YEAR with the May 6th (and 9th) program.
These are all favorites from the past year, although as I will say in the show itself, it is always a challenge to cull the playlist down to ONLY 20 tunes. Tony's "Blue Skies" with vocalist Libby McDowell gets a replay, as does Joe Locke's "The English Patient," David Friedman's "Los Them," Behn's "The Dog Days," and 16 more.
It's been a great, fun two years. Thank you to all of you for support.

Pick the right melody, it doesn't have to be hard!
Vic Firth just finished editing this clip. The playing was taped at Berklee in one of the percussion department studios and the interview was taped at the VF office. The tunes that I'm playing in the clip are Black Orpheus and Somewhere Over the Rainbow on vibes and Ain't Misbehavin' and St. Thomas on marimba.
Check out this etude. Study the chords and write in the names with the alterations. Then play the etude. It will get you moving around and weaving through the changes. Work up the speed a little bit, and transposing in one other key will go along way.
The etude PDF is attached.
Hey all,
So I am in Texas visiting my folks, which means I don't have a vibe with me. I used to get really bummed about this. Having to spend a week or so away from my instrument. I have since come to look at it as a forced "put yourself in a box" situation. I still have a keyboard here, so I can practice music, and it forces me to practice specific things. This week I decided to focus on comping/ voicings/ and learning tunes in other keys through the "vehicle" of chords/ voicings. I found this article (for a guitar magazine as you can tell by the tab) by my old professor.
Here's my last lesson before I start a bunch of lessons on rhythm changes. Sorry, my loop skipped once or twice during this, but I was only like a second, so I kept it.
