This is a video of the Charlie Kunz band featuring Teddy Brown. It's cool to watch just to see teddy.
But go to 10:22 and watch the vibe player. He dampens with his finger. Why? I think because there was not pedal on the vibraphone.
That blew me away. Am I right?

Playing with The Terry Gibbs Dream Band
This was great and fun. I played Terry's big band charts with his LA Dream Band. What incredible musicians!
I did practice playing these tunes every day for a month. LA cats are great readers and great players, so I had to really practice!

Gene Estes - The Greatest Stereo Vibraphone in Recording History
That's the name of the album :-)!
I posted the album cover when I bought the album. I've been listening to him again. Another west coast cat. And man he plays great! IMHO
Man I think he's a great vibe player. Don't know much about him. What do you guys think?

Just In Case You Thought Roy Ayers Wasn't a Bad Ass Player
Roy Ayers was an amazing player. I didn't think so at one point but Randy fixed that by telling me I was a fool and I should check him out.

Tribute to Mancini
I'm sure I posted this before and if I looked I'd find it. But I just thought I'd post it again, because Henry Mancini AND Larry Mckenna are truly amazing.
Larry is a Philadelphia icon. He's 80 something now and that's sad for many reasons. I studied with him in school and have played with him for years and years. He's one of my hero's.

Modern Percussion Ensemble - Verwirrspiel (comp. by Franz Bauer)
Here's a new version of my confusing composition 'Verwirrspiel'. I am happy that I was able to produce the video for the Berlin-Neukölln music school, where I have been working with great colleagues for years.
