Weekly MP3 (4/7/08): Vinson Valega Quartet - "Day by Day"
2008-04-09 00:00:00 Here's a recording {14mb} of my quartet from last month at The 55 Bar, featuring Chris Bacas on soprano, Dimitri Moderbacher on tenor, Joe Fitzgerald on bass, and myself (Vinson Valega) on drums. The song is "Day by Day," composed by Sammy Cahn, Axel Stordahl, and Paul Weston. At the end of the drum solo, we just skip playing the melody (or head) and go directly into Ornette Coleman's "Kathelin Gray," something I like to do from time to time with my group. It also rhymes, which I like: "Day by Day" into "Kathelin Gray." Get it? Finally, I'll be bringing my quartet into The 55 Bar again in two days, this coming Wednesday, April 9th, from 7-9pm. In addition to the old stalwarts, Chris Bacas and Gary Wang, we're including a special guest and fabulous musician, Sheryl Bailey, on guitar, to spice things up with some harmony and special grooves like only Sheryl can bring. Come check out the new group! Note: The 55 Bar is located at 55 Christopher Street, just east of 7th Avenue, ...

What I Feel
2007-09-20 10:17:00 I searched among the many memoriesIn my head to see if I could find,A little something that would sayJust what was on my mind.However there isn't one,That captured it just right,For no one can comprehend,Just what I'd like to say.I even find it difficultTo try to write it down,Even in this very poemFor how shall I portray you?This beautiful girl that I admireTo say I have feelings for you,More than my heart can maintain,Just enough to fill an ocean.When I think about you,I close my eyes and what I see,Is someone I adore A person who is beautiful,Just by what I see inside.Mere words cannot describeThe main qualities you show,The love and caring nature thatYou share with those you know Causing my heart to appreciate you even more.Now that you finished my poem,Maybe you will notice all the love,That I have for you for it'sJust what I feel.- Teris Vinson
