Hi guys.

Here's a clip of a gig I did on Saturday night. The band is called the Ash Hunt Quartet (he's the trumpet player), with me on vibes, Pete Hutchison on bass and Rod Oughton on drums.

I'd love any feedback anyone has.

Sorry the video gets out of sync - I'm not sure why that happened. I was having some trouble with Windows Movie Maker, in it's infinite cinematic glory (not). At least you can hear it though.

Here is another video from a gig I did in May.

In one of my received emails, I noticed these words that really hit home, for me and I know will touch all of your feelings. I think that it would be nice for Tony miceli to set up a program for all of us to submit an original melody line using the words of this article.

Upon receipt of all sent in materials, there should be a vote made to see who composed the most accepted version. he best part about it all is: (THERE WILL NOT BE A PRIZE) TO CHEAPEN SUCH POWERFUL WORDS). HERE IS THE ARTICLE that "PLATO" wrote!

Today I had to send some video for a TV show I might be performing in and thought I'd share these her too.

Hope you like it. This is from a gig I did in May 2010.

Hi everybody !

I've just start again to practise the vibes (I have stop it few months because I will not as fit as a fiddle)
So I practise this standard "someday my prince will come" (despite I found my prince ;)
I'd like to play this piece in duet vibes and contrabass.
This is just the theme I have "arrange" to play with in duet.
I actually work the impro part and harmonious part at the same time
, which I find very difficult.
enjoy and post comment to make me headway !

Dear all,

Here are some news from Joe Locke: about to play a gig in Winnipeg, he had to undergo an emergency appendectomy.

Luckily, all went fine. He'll have to stay in the hospital for 3 days and then on his way home for recovery.

His manager Tom Marcello nicely kept us informed and just gave us those latest good news...

Let's all wish Joe a prompt recovery, good times back and to see him back on board... and on stage!!

Hi ,

This video is somewhat special for me... It's the last time I played vibes ! As some of you know, I'm now in Warsaw without a vibes since October.

So just before leaving France, I recorded this in my parent's living room with a good friend of mine.
I tried to put into application what I learned from the TOTM My romance.

Warren is a pretty heavy cat in my book!

I think Diane plays this just great. The melody is so beautiful that we decided not to take any solos. I like it when singers just play a ballad straight down, one time.
