Looking forward to my first time in Italy this coming week. I'll be playing next Saturday, February 25 at Gregories in Rome. Always great to meet other vibes players when I travel so please reach out and say hello if you're out there!

Many of you know this already. I've done a bunch of lessons on it.
One of my favorite compositions by Keith Jarrett. I've been listening to some brilliant versions from Keith playing this song. Some from the 70's as well as some newer renditions. They are all inspiring but the one from the live version recorded in Lille, France in '81 is very special. Day off from Berklee due to the snowstorm so I had some more time in the shed.
I love when some takes one of our instruments and plays them in a way that's simple and beautiful. This woman is amazing!
And the keyboard setup is cool. Anyone know how it's set up?
I like how little she rolls. Amazing players I think use the rests in a way that others don't. Many players on the Xylo and Marimba seem to roll too much for me. IMHO

The thing I think about premiere is that there are not a lot of them in the states. so it might be tricky to fix them.
i play premiere's in ireland. they're ok, decent vibes. they're a little noisier than even the musser. they are smaller than mussier, yamaha, or malletech.
what's the price? they're premiere right?
i can get you a used omega for about 3800 (i have to check so don't quote me). it's in great shape. not sure what you're price range is.
are they graduated bars?? if they're not graduated bars, then i say definitely no to them.
Do you know what a Mini concert is? (A concert here at VW where you play at least 2 songs without stopping and recording them and present them to us) Kind of feels like you're doing a concert.
I love this stuff. Finding ways to play for each other. I hope many of you will post Feb 25th for Mini Concert day.
My favorite and frustrating part is preparing for the recording.
Who do I play 2 songs by myself without stopping? That's the question I ask.
My student Dan Neville turned me on to 'The Mastersounds' the west coast MJQ started by Buddy Montgomery. My student who is a Californian said this to me. They do sound like a version of MJQ and maybe in a way a more aggressive and experimental version? Of course MJQ is great because of Bags and he is the best. But Bobby is SMOOOKIN'!!!!!!
Ashamed to say I didn't know of this. GREAT group! I do have Buddy CDs but no Mastersounds until now.
