Even the smallest gestures can make a big difference.

Just wanted to let the group know that Hal Leonard released a book I co-wrote with Bill LeFleur and Masa Takahashi titled Jazz Guitar Chord Melody Solos: Duke Ellington.  I just got my copy in and I am very impressed with the song selections and the arrangements we put together.  Here is the link to the book on the HL site.  http://www.halleonard.com/product/viewproduct.do?itemid=700636&...;

Serious about developing your improvising? Well, you can't speak creatively in a language that you are not articulate in. I've got a really comprehensive method that I've put together after teaching jazz for 34 years. Please check it out. Denis DiBlasio and many others have endorsed it, and jazz education programs are using it in 14 states.www.lineartransitions.com       Thanks

A little something that I'd like to share, that has helped many guitarists gain a very simple understanding with the instrument...

Growing up poor in the small town of Vicksburg, Miss., Alexander Devereaux didn’t have much. But there was no lack of remarkable personalities, each of whom left an indelible imprint on his life. Gar Fish & Long Gravy collects the stories, insight, tragedies, and uproarious wit of an unforgettable cast of characters. Meet Granmama Lia’, whose hard-won wisdom on life, love—and mistresses—is dispensed to in her kitchen to her beloved grandson, sometimes over Johnny Walker Black. There’s Ms. Peaches, who raises chickens in her ramshackle hut yet might be one of the richest people in town. Big Daddy is an imposing hulk, but his massive frame hides a vulnerable past and humiliating secret. Ms. Annie Laurie is a fabulously wealthy white woman who never had children of her own. But her love rains down on young Alexander. And that’s just for starters.

Based on real-life experiences, Gar Fish & Long Gravy is about the mistakes we make, the loves we share, and the stories we tell each other that make us who we are. And it is the touching story of a boy who ultimately breaks free of the poverty and abuse of his extended family, yet never forgets the important lessons he learned along the way. As Grandmama said, “If sense were common, everybody would have it.”
