Here is a duet of me and Tony Miceli and also 2 solo's I played on a gig a few weeks ago. I'm adding the 2 solos because I'm having trouble with the solo on Don't Get Around. And the other two solo's I was a little more satisfied about. I don't think they are good solos, but just a little better than I played on Don't Get Around... So I'm comparing how I play on the different solos
I'm trying to figure out why this is... I'm gonna do a duet with myself on Don't Get Around also, but in a slower tempo and maybe also in some other key. I'm guessing the trouble is either the key of C or maybe the tempo is just too high.
But anyway, the lines ar just not flowing on Don´t Get Around. Maybe I should keep on working on that...
So let me know what you guys think(or Tony if nobody else is reading this....)
One other thing I noticed lately is that my time is terrible on the vibes! I guess that, because I´m a drummer, I figured my time would be ok on vibes too, but this is not the case at all!!
I guess I´m thinking too much about what notes to play, that I don´t pay enough attention to the time, and I think the time should be more importatnt, right??
Ok, here are the files:
On Don't Get Around my vibes are a little soft... I didn't have time to correct this and I think I left a low filter(filtering the low freq) on, also on the solo mp3's so it sounds a little thin...

i think it all sounds good. I think you did a great job on the duet.
if you want stuff to work on i think you should listen to the solo and find the 'funny' spots and figure out what's funny about them. for instance in the 2nd A at the D7 you play A F# F. i know milt plays Eb's in there. however i usually say this: if we're going to make a rule then here's one. the chord is not altered unless it's going to where it's supposed to go.
here it goes something like A-7 to D7 then to D-7 so i wouldn't alter the chord and to me that line you play is funny. i would play A G F# or even G F F#. that gets the sound better.
i have an idea and maybe i can whip up a quick mp3.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I guess I'm stumbling through the tune and I'm playing all kinds of funny stuff probably because the tempo is a bit too high... I'll try to record a duet on my own soon and take it a little slower, let's see what happens then.
