Tunes

Hi everyone, I was going wait until the album was available on itunes and amazon until I announced this but I have no clue when thats going to happen BUT the CD and MP3 CAN be purchased through the label website right now!

My new (first) album "Prologue" is now available!
I'm going to provide an MP3 of one of the tracks plus the pdf of the chart only for vibesworkshoppers!

Check it out, let me know what you think!

If you want to purchase the CD or MP3s you can get them from:

This is a nice clip in the recording studio featuring vibist Charlie Shoemake. I know that he did a stint with the George Shearing Quintet back in the day and is a great player you don't really hear that much about. He's with the Bill Holman Big Band with a typically awesome Holman chart on the tune "This I Dig Of You", written by Philly-born tenor man, the late Hank Mobley.

I found this clip while searching for any video of Larry Bunker on vibes. I have always been a huge fan of Henry Mancini and he always featured great vibes players such as Larry Bunker and Victor Feldman on his albums and soundtracks. Larry was also a fine drummer who toured with Bill Evans in the 60s was one of the most in-demand studio percussionists of the era. He was well versed in the entire scope of percussion: mallets, timpani, Latin and ethnic percussion, you name it. We lost him in 2004. He passed away from complications of a stroke at the age of 76.

This is the leadsheet for "Lunch with Pancho Villa". The form of the tune is the same as on the video.

The link to the video fo the tune is above!

I started transcribing David Friedman's "Lunch with Pancho Villa" from the video in the "Check This Out" link, above.

I am having difficulty with the sticking on the 3rd line and can't make it out in the video. Suggestions would be appreciated. Corrections are appreciated also.

Attached are the LilyPad input and the PDF output files.

Thanks,
Barry

I have been working on Tony's Vince Guaraldi etude and was reminded that Christmas Time is (almost) Here (http://www.amazon.com/Charlie-Brown-Christmas-Vince-Guaraldi/dp/B000ICL…) and and would need a couple months to prepare some tunes.
