Just found Mattias Ståhl. Anyone know about him?
I think he sounds great and very interesting!
This is a video many of us have probably seen, this version is colorized which is cool.
For me they play one of my most favorite songs 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'. Also the third song they play is one of Gary's and I love to see how much the audience loves his playing and the song. I imagine Gary just floored musicians and especially percussionists. No one had played like this in 1966. He was the first. A must watch!
I've said this over and over. I don't know how anyone gets good without goals. Maybe there's a way but I don't think so.
I think not having goals, is like learning how to shoot a bow an arrow with out a target.
Beginners:
Really try to memorize 2 of these 3 tunes at least:
Intermediate:
Memorize at least one of the beginner tunes and maybe 2 of these:
If you are really interested in mallet instruments, this is an incredible place to visit! I was blown away the first time I went.
If you are interested I put all this into NotebookLM an AI notebook. If you want to poke around:
I just love this stuff!
Barry Harris is so amazing as a player and a teacher.
Here he talks about All The Things You and progressions. This is so amazing!!!!!!
Hi everyone,
I'm selling my Musser M75 Century vibraphone and wanted to share the details here in case anyone in the community is interested—or knows someone who might be.
The instrument is in good working condition, with recently tuned bars, a fully functional motor, and a great sound. It has some cosmetic wear, as expected from a used instrument, but overall it plays really well. I'm including road cases for the frame and resonators (no bar case).
Here is Behn's Beginner Course.
This is a very cool piece that Chick Corea wrote for Gary Burton and pianist Karill Gerstein a pianist.
Here's the email from Gary talking about his recording:
I am on the cd label Steeplechase now and I have become buddies with the owner.
We are having amazing talks about his recordings that go back to 1972. Lately it's been of Walt Dickerson. He sent me this picture of Walt from his solo recording on Steeplechase from 1977.
There is also a duo album with Sunra. Nils told me Sunra wore headphones and listened to a ball game whiler they recorded the duo. That's crazy but then he was!
