This version of My Wild Irish Rose is inspired by pianist Keith Jarrett. I love how he subtly shifts keys on familiar tunes. This version is an example of playing a tune by ear and then looking for interesting ways to change keys. I decided not to improvise on this one — just played the melody in slightly different ways that seemed to fit each key. Every chorus is the same, yet slightly different each time.

Mike Mainieri visited us at Berklee last week. Mike gave two excellent clinic presentations. One on composition and one on the vibraphone. He was so generous with his knowledge, experiences and expertise. It was great hearing about his life in music and playing the vibes. He brought some mallets to check out. I'm trying Steve Nelson's mallets in this photo. They sounded really nice and had good weight behind them.

Hi All,

I went into the studio yesterday to record some tracks for an application I'm working on. The project was a little thrown together, but I think they turned out okay. I've been trying to put together some trio repertoire for about a year now. There are three tracks. Two are contrafacts I wrote and I play guitar on one of them (just for fun). I'd appreciate any feedback!

Hey Vibesworkshoppers!

Just put up a clip from a really fun trio gig I did here in NYC a few weeks back. I love playing vibes trio w just bass and drums and it was a treat to play with a really top rhythm section of Clarence Penn and Joe Martin.
Thanks for listening!
