	"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

April 13, 2006 | McGann Faculty Recital

Outstanding video... John McGann and some of his fellow Berklee Faculty put on a recital on campus recently. Professor McGann was kind enough to forward us a personal DVD of the whole concert, and we've been watching in awe as some of Boston's finest participated, including Matt Glaser, Aaron Weinstein, Adam Larabee, Jim Dalton, Joe Walsh, and Laszlo Gardony.

Joining them were The Wayfaring Strangers with their usual-but-unusual blend of string-band w/vocals High Mountain Bebop, fresh arrangements of classics such as "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (Monroe), and "Love for Sale" (Porter). Interspersed were some tasty Django Reinhardt versions of "I've Found a New Baby" and "What is This Thing Called Love."

Fellow mando-enthusiast John Baxter has put some of these up on the Mandozine website. Take the time to check these out!
