Hi, this is Peter Erskine and I'm hoping that all of you will come join myself, Bob Shepard on saxophone,
Mark Johnson on the bass, Ileana Elias on piano, and Mike Migneri on vibes, otherwise known as Steps Ahead.
When we come to Japan for our first reunion tour, we will be playing at Tokyo Blue Note February 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th.
We're going to be playing a lot of great Steps Ahead classic tunes, including Don Grolnick's Pools.
A lot of people like that drum beat, I like it myself.
Let me show you a little bit how that goes.
One, a one, two, three.

[D] [A] [F] [D]
[N] [A]
And so on.
Here's a part of the beat I wanted to explain to you.
I'm playing this steady pulse with both hands, but they're offset one beat apart.
So the [Ab] right hand is going, while the left hand goes, one, two, three, four.
And what makes it a little more interesting is that I flam these.
I play them with a little bit of space, so it's three, four.
Now I don't play around much more than that, but it does kind of give the illusion that maybe there's another player up there.
It kind of broadens out the beat by that extra voice, and that's part of the explanation of how we play Pools.
Anyways, we all hope you'll come join us for all the musical fun.
