Hi Everyone,
It's a little early for the November update, especially since the October rebroadcast is this afternoon at 4-6 eastern time. Hope you can tune in today! (www.jazzon2.org) You can listen on your smartphone if you download the free NPR radio app.
David,
I’d like to ask if you’d take another trip down memory lane with regards to your experiences regarding for Creed Taylor’s CTI Records as well with Rudy Van Gelder (engineer). My discovery of you started with Hubert Laws’s records, and fortunately my local AM jazz radio station was really great about naming the sidemen on all the records they played. You were well-known around my area.
Hi, This is my first video on vibes workshop. I have only been on this site for a week and it has already changed my playing. Thanks!
Check the harmonization of the melody.
Thank you!
Practicing Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood" today during my office hour at Berklee.
I don't know why but I was thinking of Ed when I was practicing that.

Come on Rusty ! You're definitively on the short list nowadays !
Will be releasing a new duo recording with pianist Steve Allee (Rufus Reid trio) later this fall. Here is a short excerpt from one of Steve's compositions.

Hi Everyone,
Great contemporary jazz composer and trumpeter, Kenny Wheeler died last week. I've always loved Kenny's music, particularly the "Sweet Time Suite" recorded on Music for Large and Small Ensemble. I worked out a vibes adaptation of the chorale-like opening movement a while back and revisited it yesterday when I heard the news.
New Vic Firth Performance Spotlight Clip of Body & Soul from Berklee Percussion Festival concert. It was a pleasure to play with Billy Novick - clarinet, Mark Carlsen - bass and Steve Langone - drums.
Vic Firth video shoot taking place this week at Berklee to tape several solo vibe and marimba videos. We'll also be discussing details for a "video-minus-one" project that I'll be creating for vibists and marimbists.
