He's so great to listen to and to watch play! Beautiful video!
Saw this online and bought it! I have listened to some of the first track and I really like it. Sounds like a different Ed so far. You can hear his Burton influence! Can't wait to listen to the rest of it!
Hey all,
I came to the website to post about my June show, then got overtaken by the Konnakkol duet and completely forgot my intention. Check it out in recent activity if you haven't already done so. Amazing is too small a word.
So now to get back on track:
I'm introducing Nick Mancini's new CD The Long Game with a beauty of a track called "Gingerlilly."
I know a lot of people use a RockNRoller or similar to transport their instruments, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. An M55 frame is 56 inches long. So if you lay it flat, you need the biggest model (60" base) and that doesn't leave any room for the bars. And that RockNRoller weighs 35 lbs. on its own.
So what do you do? Stand up the frame and bungee it? Lay it across the bed? Neither of those options seem stable. Advice appreciated -- pictures even more :-).

I've always loved this tune from the Coltrane and Johnny Hartman album. Joe Locke also has a great version on his first "Blues and Ballads" CD. I got to play it on a gig recently with a sax player. I had a job interview this morning and I was already dressed up, so I thought I would shoot a quick and dirty (but clean clothes!) video of a quick performance.
Anyone know why this is priced like this. I do. I'll wait and see who can figure it out.
It better be good and have sexy pictures of vibe players in it!!!
I think I do. I found it on Amazon, that's the clue.
Joe Locke turned me on to this!
Here's my new vibraphone frame, designed especially for maximum weight reduction with maximum setup comfort. Because I cannot imagine that many women (or men with back problems) like to transport vibraphones to sessions or concerts, I have named this frame as "Ladies Vibe".
The entire frame weighs 11.4 kg (26 lb) and the resonance tubes made of plastic together weigh another 7.1 kg (15.7 lb).
Maybe I should still create a bag in Gucci- design? :)
David said and I agree, I have so much fun playing on the Omega! It's really an incredibly fun instrument to play on!!!!
This is an arrangement of My Foolish Heart that I put together from various Bill Evans recordings of this tune. The bassist is Blake Bonde.
