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!
I have been using these cases for many many years now and I love them. My new ones are coming soon and they are red!
I grew up buying Steeplechase records, Dextor Gordon, Jackie Mclean, Walt Dickerson and many others. Nils told me they have over 1,200 cds out.
The cd comes out June 20th and it's Me, Paul Bollenback, Lee Smith and Byron Landham. I think it's a pretty good cd. Check it out if you can.
I am a bad photographer but....
This was a beautiful instrument!
Every mallet player should check out the Kutztown Mallet Center. I kept putting off going and then finally went and was blown away by what is there!

This is great! and short
Found this so I thought I'd post it! Sounds like Michael Brecker on sax!
'Andrea's Piece' for Solo Vibraphone was composed in April 2025 by Franz Bauer.
Great set with Red Norvo. Check out how far he chokes up on the mallets!
