Dear Manny,
Could you talk a little about tounging speed, consistency and articulation? Recently after pullin' out a metronome and doin' some work, I've noticed that my single tounge speed has diminished. What are some excercises to work on speed/fluidity? Also, could you talk a lil about articulation. Insofar as to mention maybe specific syllabes you like to use for certain passages, etc. Or maybe talk a little about your adjectives of clearness, attack, "bell tone", etc. Thank for your time.

Tim, The Bear

BTW - 2 months until Brad Leali becomes our Jazz Studies Director!!! YEE-HAWW!! On a sidenote, did you know that Harry Connick Jr.'s wife is from Lubbock? Kewl huh? Maybe we can get Roger Ingram to pay us a visit...
