it will be there for 7 days
I just had a phone call with someone. We were talking and I thought of something I wanted to say. I knew underneath I was partly bragging about ME. Strike one. Then the conversation just started to drift but I HAD to get my plug in there. So I tried to work it in the new subject. I blurted it out and sounded like a frickin' idiot. Awkward moment but the other person just moved on.
On the way home I realized that I have done this with soloing AND comping as well. You guys get it?
This is my arrangement of Ennio Morricone's piece Ecstacy of Gold.
Program note:
Dimitri playing "Days of Wine and Roses"....
Warning : "F" word inside ! :)
Tjaco performing "In a sentimental mood"
Here is a part of a lesson by Tony, day 1 of the workshop in Sassenheim.
Tony speaks about "embellishing notes" or "surrounding notes" (after a question from Ben "redders" Redman).
Tony asked all of us to get to the vibraphone and just play a melody.
Here is Vid playing "But Beautiful".

This Thursday, I'm doing a concert with Gerald Veasley and the Electric Mingus Project.
I think we're going to stream the concert live. We're checking out a couple things with internet from the club. If it all works out then we'll be live. I'll be using my vibes with the k&k system on them as well as my MalletKat. |
