Hey Everybody,

Easy commute into town yesterday morning for an early class at 9. Warming up on the classic composition "Nardis".

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a great summer.

I just wanted to let you know that my duo CD with guitarist Brad Shepik has been released and is available in digital and/or Compact Disc formats over at our website http://www.beckhamshepik.com. You can also purchase from CD Baby as well.

The new album is called "Flower Starter" and here is a link to a short intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBa-r1lw9U4

Hope you enjoy it!

Practicing the beautiful composition "Emily" by Johnny Mandel. Of course inspired by the brilliant version of the great Bill Evans.

A little rendition of "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" before teaching a long day at Berklee. Thanks to the great pianist Keith Jarrett for the inspiration and nice changes.

Trying to get playing again! Can't wait to go through this book. Thanks vibes workshop for motivating me :-) I don't think I got the dynamic (phrasing) just right – Mf a little too strong in the beginning.. Thanks for listening!

Trying to get the vibraphone to sing again (been a long time) excited to get back into the Friedman book :-)-jj

Hi all,
I am putting together a book of free verse with musician photos by the incredible author/jazz photographer Ed Berger. Some of you may remember when I asked around last year for birth dates of vibes players who have recorded to include them in the book. I decided to self-publish and the book is going forward.
One of the verses is actually a compilation of all the vibes players I am familiar with by
