More On the Quarter Tone Vibraphone

I found another video from this middle east vibe player. He interests me a lot, because it looks like he's hustling like the rest of us, trying to get gigs. And here he is, who knows where, but far from Philly playing 'New York, New York' on the vibes. And then with 8 mallets.

I wonder why he feels the need to hold the eight mallets, I keep looking for an advantage but don't see it. And I wonder if he's on the site!

Playing the Blues in Somers Point, New Jersey

Tim Lekan is a mover and shaker down in Somers Point, New Jersey. And he's a great bass player! They put on an incredible jazz festival each year!

In this series Tim does something he calls 'The Workshop'. Here he gets together with musicians and we do what ever: Talk to the audience, play tunes, anything that happens.

Also on drums is Bob Schomo. Although you don't have to be a rocket scientist to play drums, Schomo is just about one! He has a Masters or a PHD in physics. He's a super heavy cat and a great drummer!
