Here is a video of one song from the concert Gary did at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland on the 10th of july 2011. It's a Monk Tune(as you can probably hear) but I forgot the title. Maybe Gary or Tony can fill that in?

The line-up for this gig was:

Gary Burton - Vibes
Julian Lage - Guitar
Jorge Roeder - Bass
Antonio Sanchez - Drums

Enjoy!

Ok here's my practice tape for Autumn Leaves. Stops and starts and all that.

When I practice a tune like this in this way, I just try stuff and messing around in different keys. I'll try technical stuff, and melodic ideas. Anything.

If I space out or lose the form, then I just stop and focus and try again.

How do you practice the tune? Maybe give us a 5 minute snippet of you practicing and let us know how and what you're doing.
