This is an amazing video! Thanks for Phillipe Macé for this gem!

This concert was taped in early August. The video seems a little fuzzy, but the audio is pretty clear. The tune is a lot of fun to play, and seems to be a lesser known one of Kenny Baron. We discovered it in a collection of his music we found in the public library!

Comping for piano can be tricky since the pianist is already comping with their left hand. I try to stay out of the way and just punctuate with some voicings and single line stuff.

Here is a cool little story:
- NicoFar sent me a practice tape of him working on that tune,
- As usual I didn't really know the tune, so I started to discover it,
- We both chatted about the different versions,
- After a few ones, he sent me this one: wow!!
- I started a chat with Tarik,
- And sent it to him
- For once we had nothing to argue about: this is beautiful and perfect! :o)
- We even agreed on the fact... that we'd better share this gem will you all!

Enjoy! And... go Gary G!!!

WARNING: this is no jazz, no lovely and wise vibes melody. :o)

I got this from Emilie. Vibist David Neerman is a friend of Illya Amar. For those who followed, you will find back something of the Nguen Le's style. David explores the vibes in a special way, a bit like Norbert Lucarain (all three being to me 'French bad boys'! ha!), using distortion among other tools. But he's also working in an original duet with balafonist Lansiné Kouyaté (awesome huh?).

No loud talking, everybody paying attention. No clinking glasses. I WANT this gig -- jazz for cows

Thanks to Nicofarr for posting his video of his new VanderPlas Baelio. I posted a comment with his audio jam and that comment has helped me a ton. I told him to use the pedal more and get more ringing. So I put my stuff out there and kept thinking about it. I started listening to Gary Burton last night and checking him out playing solo. I thought man, that's why he's the cat. Look at how he blends the ringing with the melody. He's got control of that instrument. Ed's another cat who has tamed the vibraphone!

Impressive; both the music and video production. Apparently this is his own arrangement.
