See if you can cop this

Cop It!

Dana and I have been talking about chordal playing. Listen to this. See if you can listen to it and see that conceptually the way Bill Evans is playing would totally lend itself to the vibes. Man he's got 10 fingers but he's not using all of them, he's just using a few of them. But he makes sure his line is cool and then adds.

Hey we're going to have an open house August 5th at the workshop at the University of Delaware. It will start at 2 and go untiil about 8 or 9. You can listen to a David Friedman workshop and then we'll have a little performance later in the evening after dinner.

Who wants to come and hang?

August 6th in the evening will be our final concert so we hope you can come or come back for that.

Here's a quick test of the Tony Miceli 46R mallets.

I just them 5 minutes ago and thought I should post.

I love these mallets. Brings out the highs, but not overbearing. Feel is great. Works with my light touch.

I took down my Chi Chi study, because it's flawed!!!!

I just learned the head yesterday and threw the changes underneath that seemed to fit in my mind. but i should have listened to the whole thing, especially if i was going to do a lesson on it. Of course I've listened to it before but yesterday I was just moving quick. There are one set of changes for the head and a normal blues for the solo. I was basically right for the head. I still don't hear 7th's in the first Ab. And listening to Parker's solo and referencing the Omni book I would argue he doesn't either (more to come).
