I just watched a concert of the Steve Swallow/Carla Bley Quintet at the "Jazz a Junas Festival" circa 2013 with Steve Cardenas and Chris Cheek on saxophone, great playing by all. Here they are,...

New: Steve Cardenas - Blue Has A Range

Thanks, I don't know why you posted it. You like posting, so do I, this is my terrible version. https://youtu.be/VjJmjc2lJlk It's not funny, the video already says what it's about or should be...

Which tune is that?

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

That's it, export to pdf. But just to be safe, save a copy of it first in a different folder than the one you'd normally store it in - or just rename the saved copy. It would be difficult to...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

What a great interview, Henry. If they didn't want anyone to know about Mingus' illness, why couldn't they tell you that? How can you blame someone for something like that? I was kind of...

Blues and Jazz-Blues Comping Recommendations ?

An interview with Henry Robinett

I must express apologies. The thigh cushion I've been using is by Podoko. I bought it on Amazon almost two years ago, hence I forgot the brand name. I am very happy with it now, as I was when I...

Cheaper and perhaps better alternative to Dynarette cushion?

Actually my "old" (?) violins are perfectly reliable and daily players. Every now and then one needs work that I do, this February one got a new fingerboard and tailpiece. Any instrument is better...
