Mike Mainieri: An Interactive Exploration

Love Vibe For Sale. I'm helping a friend sell his instrument. It's a Love Vibe and it's in good shape. You can email me, if you are interested (tony@tonymiceli.com). The instrument is Near Philadelphia in New Jersey. Cash Only, and you have to pick. I can drive an hour if that helps.

$4750 with cases.

He is the man on the Malletkat IMHO! 

Classes will be as follows: 

at 2:45 we will do either the rhythm section class or the perc. Which ever one we do first we will do the other one right after. 

Oliver Mayman will do the classes on Wednesday, Behn Gillece on Thursday. 

Friday the schedule will change a little bit and in the afternoon Chuck Redd will do a workshop. (He's a great 2 mallet vibe player and a GREAT drummer).

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: 

• Maiden Voyage
• Little Sunflower
• Blue Bossa
• Bags Groove

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!!!!!!
