Okay kids, as promised, here are the Satin Doll backups I promised, on the main site:Oh boy, if this isn't coincidence, I don't know what it is. I'm just playing it with my instructor, and I'm struggling a little bit with some improvisation on the end of the first part (when it comes back to the beginning). Because the genius of this music to me is that Duke Ellington seems to do it on purpose. You can play simply 2 bars with the same note. Ok it works. But after some time you start to find it a little bit boring and start to think: what if I put more notes on this. And I had an entire class on frigean-doric mode on Xm7/b5, A7/b9 which I'm still floating on. In Portuguese we use floating, like floating on the water, to say we didn't understand anything. So I need to study more all this.

This was Tommy Stryker's idea, and it's pretty cool. We're all going to give this old classic number a shot, pretty straight-forward this time. Maybe add some improvisation (noodling) the next time around. Play it by ear, (preferred) or with the aid of sheet music if you prefer. (there's really no rules - just play it)
Fabio:
You are in Brazil and you know something about accordions. You might know that an instrument that is famous in the performance of tango music is the bandonian. Look in youtube.com for a movie whose English name is "The Last Bandonian". The original is in Spanish, I think it has English subtitles. It is a true story and the people acting the parts are the people in the story.
