BTW, i know it's not a CD, didn't know where else to post it!

So with all the styles of blues there's one more I can think of. That's a blues with a bridge. Many times these are sort of AABA blues'. For instance it would be 2 choruses of a blues and then a bridge and then one more chorus of the blues. Listen to this exampleof the tune 'Unit 7'. Can you follow it.

Here is a version of Charlie Parker's 'Confirmation'. So it's a bird blues with a bridge. AABA. See what happens, 2 forms are combined to make a new form.

Take the Coltrane

Joe Doubleday- Vibraphone
Tamir Shmerling- Bass
Adam Arruda- Drums

This concert was taped in early August. The video seems a little fuzzy, but the audio is pretty clear. The tune is a lot of fun to play, and seems to be a lesser known one of Kenny Baron. We discovered it in a collection of his music we found in the public library!

Comping for piano can be tricky since the pianist is already comping with their left hand. I try to stay out of the way and just punctuate with some voicings and single line stuff.

I found yet another lesson on getting to the four chord. I'll post as a refresher!

Rob McDonald- Bowed Vibraphone/Percussion
Ben Harrison- Trumpet/Percussion
Al Haskett- Guitar/Percussion
James Gilligan- Bass/Voice

I composed this piece as part of a recording requirement I needed to meet
in my final year of a Bachelor degree last year. We had 30 minutes from set up to bounce :S
There isn't a lot of Vibes in the track, but I intended to emphasize the organic sound
of bowing the instrument. I also wrote the piece based of my current study of perfect pitch.
Hope you enjoy.

Here is a cool little story:
- NicoFar sent me a practice tape of him working on that tune,
- As usual I didn't really know the tune, so I started to discover it,
- We both chatted about the different versions,
- After a few ones, he sent me this one: wow!!
- I started a chat with Tarik,
- And sent it to him
- For once we had nothing to argue about: this is beautiful and perfect! :o)
- We even agreed on the fact... that we'd better share this gem will you all!

Enjoy! And... go Gary G!!!
