I posted some stories about not so great students, recently. So of course I've been remembering things about my teaching and playing career. One aspect of my teaching and performing career was in prison. I was in prison(s) for about 8…
I spent the day, getting a 7 part series together on intros and endings! This is certainly something every vibe player struggles with at some point in his journey. I don't consider myself great at intros and endings, but I've worked on…
Hi all,
I was checking our newbies, and saw this guy from Perugia: Fabrizio Fratepietro. I thought: wow, Perugia, one of the European capitals of jazz!
He had the good idea to put his myspace link. I went there and listened to the first…

This is a funny one.
Just a side note.
I talk with Mike about once a week, and I tell you he's a great guy and a very kind soul. There are many Mike Balter stories about great acts of kindness. I feel really lucky to know him and hang…
I was listening to Pandora.com and heard Bobby Hutcherson play "My Foolish Heart". Nice. I went right to Amazon and downloaded it. I practiced it over the past couple of nights and recorded it. Still needs work, but I felt like posting…
They are the Dodo's and they have vibes in their band.
And btw the Stevens grip will be the grip of the future.

The rest of the video is more of a compilation of different parts of…

I will just play tunes to work on anything, technical stuff, form stuff…
