In Case You Haven't Noticed

I have been working my butt off. Lots of work which is good. You know I've made a transition over the last few years. I used to do tons of corporate stuff $$$$, but that has died. There are a bunch of good lookin' guys (like Behn) around who are hustling. Not just vibe players but also piano players and guitar players.

That's cool with me, I do think there's enough work to go around for all who are actively seeking it and all that know how to play their instruments. That's way it should be and I think that's the way it is.

Blackbird (Beatles cover)- Brad Mehldau

Brad Mehldau is one of those guys that I don't always like to listen to. I don't really know why. I think some of what he plays may be too over my head for me to really appreciate. This, however, is breathtakingly beautiful. The mixture of very "in" sounds and incredibly dissonant, gut wrenching, "out" sounds is beautiful. Tension, release... stunning.

Footprints in Snow at Storforsen Hotel (Sweden)

Hey everybody,

My percussion group put on a concert at a cool hotel in northern Sweden a few weeks ago. The hotel looks out over a big rapids and lake which you can see through the window behind us.

This is one of my songs called "Footprints in Snow", I'm playing vibraphone and my friend Jacob Remington is playing marimba.

Hope you like it!
