Here's a quick and dirty performance of Blues for Alice.
Some of you guys know that I really believe that putting your stuff out there is a great way to get better! That means playing in public, giving college concerts, playing in jam…
Man, I was never a Roy Ayers fan. I mean I thought he played well when I heard him, but I just thought he went in a different direction that I wasn't to keen on.
Well vibist Steve Hobbs turned me on to many tracks, CDs and his opinion.…
Hey everyone!
It's been ages since I last posted something on the site!
Surely some of you will recognize Jenny, a German vibist from the Wuppertal school from The Spring Vibes workshops of the past few years: she was in Paris for a few…

I hope we are doing well and making great music with our vibraphones!

Hi All,
Just as I was finished recording September's show, news came that we lost our eloquent, our fine Bobby Hutcherson. There's still so much of his work that I haven't even touched yet, albums I still need to get. I'll do a dedication…

If you're a hard worker I'm sure you are also learning a ton during these 7 weeks.
Tell me what you're learning.
Hey Guys

What's your favorite Bobby cd?
RIP Bobby!
