 Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to provide you with a guide as

you watch the video. It contains copies of the examples that
appear in the video as well as a few tips on how to digest the
materials.

It is suggested that you use this manual as you follow along

with the video and stop the video at points where you feel you
need time to study the example that appears on the screen.

There are also spots where the booklet deals with suggestions
on how to learn what is being conveyed during the video. In
this case you should do the work in the booklet before
continuing to watch the video.

It is our sincere wish that this course of study will take you to a
higher place in your development and provide you with the
tools to accomplish this task.

Best,

Mike Longo

Often times students have trouble learning this routine. The best way to
teach yourself is to break it up into segments before you try to put the
whole thing together. For example, the first thing you want to learn to
do is this:

After you can do this, then learn this:

It is significant that the DVD was recorded at the New
York City Bahai Center in the theater known as The John
Birks Gillespie Auditorium. This theater was named after
Dizzy on January 6th, 2004. This was the first anniversary
of his death in 2003.

Jazz concerts have been held there every Tuesday night in

his honor and continue at the time of this release.

Dizzy Gillespie was a member of the Bahai Faith as is

Mike Longo. One of the major principles of this Faith is
the concept of the oneness of all peoples. Jazz music has long
been associated with this very same principle, proving to be a
bridge between all cultures. It is our sincere desire that this
DVD series will contribute to the furtherance of that
principle.
