happy hispanic heritage month

hello! I was looking through all of VW for Latin jazz posts and all I kept seeing the same style of posts over and over so I thought "hey, let me add some pizzazz in here for Hispanic Heritage Month!"

still don't know what I'm going to be doing but I'll be popping in from time to time to post something in here through the month of festivities.

TOTM - Pannonica

I'm working on Monk's Pannonica, which was written for Pannonica de Koenigswarter. Monk spent the last 10 years in the upstairs of her Apartment in New York. 

This is a great tune. I've been working on it for a little bit now. Ballads are great because you can use the pedal more and your sound can be 'wetter'.

Here are two versions of the tune. Of course a Monk version and then a Chick Corea version. He does it a little quicker.

Also is attached is an etude and an mp3 of the etude. I did the etude on my malletkat. I think I have a good vibe sound!
