Tune of the Week 7 - Groovin' High - Dizzy Gillespie 

Thank you Willie, for all your help & playing.

I believe Willie must have been about 82 when he made this video. God bless his soul, was a great player and educator.

Thanks very much for the musical enlightenment . I got it.♫♪♫ ♫♫ Your playing and explanation is excellent.♦ (From: Brooklyn, New York.) ♫♪♫♫.♫

We love you!!!! You play the truth!!

You play sooo musically and hip...your lessons lay out the chords and rhythms and other parts of the music but then what you play is GREATER than the sum the parts! That's the art of it and very teachers can follow through like that. Thanks!

This dude can really play... a wealth of knowledge too.

Mad skillz yo ! Don't stop

YOU ARE COOLER THAN ANY (ALL) OF MY FRIENDS. very talented, and great knowledge

Willie! One of my mentors in high school. He used to come to my high school and work with us. I used to go to his boat. Love him. You tube: Bill Murphy band:

This melody kept me busy for a while when I was learning it....still am ! b5...Great ! Thanks Willie. As always !

This is played at a reasonable pace. Other tracks seem to rush to end the song as quick as possible. They probably don't like it. ;)

First and FOREMOST my gifted friend, what is your name?!! That's what I want to know! By goodness gracious most definitely, you are an INSPIRATIONAL TEACHER and SPEAKER! Your videos are so very energetic on so many levels. Confident they are, experienced too. It's just...ohh man! WOWW!!!
