Round Midnight - Kurt Herman
A video of my 5 mallet 4 octave solo version of Round Midnight. It has the Monk intro and all the techniques from my instructional videos - stride vibes, cluster chords, 5 note chords etc. It also has some Art Tatum runs. Round Midnight will be on my new solo CD of jazz standards coming out soon. Each track will also have a video so you can see what I am doing. I will also have transcriptions on my website - Kurthermanband.com. Many of my interpretations can be done on a 4 octave marimba as well.
