Let's Create a Radio Show for Gloria

Name a tune that you would like see on one of Gloria's future radio show. (Gloria has a monthly radio show where she does an all vibraphone show!!!

I'll pick the first one. My all time favorite. Gary Burton's - Chega De Saudade (No More Blues)

What's your tune?

Kutapira, Vancouver youth percussion ensemble

Hi everyone,
Check out this very cool group of percussionists from Vancouver, BC, Kutapira. They are so young but playing very sophisticated and complex rhythms with ease. Beyond the technical, they are great fun to watch and listen to.
It's not professional audio/video but still worthwhile.
You'll be hearing them on Good Vibes radio soon.

A dream come true - Part 2 - Restoration of my Premier 751

Guys,

So yesterday we started with Bruno the restoration of my vibes... oh man this is a great adventure! We don't know how long it will take, and how fine it will look, but we are doing it! (jeez, let it be short: I wanna play!!!!) :o(

I take a lot of pictures so far, but posting them on the site is too heavy and long work as I need to reduce them all, etc... But I guess many of you are on Face Book. So you can follow the whole process there:

Check it out!

Work Song

Hi all!

I discovered that the way I am trying to play Work Song is a quite tricky mallet dampening etude to me when I try to let the chords ring for comping. Next time I'll use a metronome - promised.

any feed back welcome, cheers Stefan

Who is Monsieur 405?

As you know I "follow" a bit the new members when they arrive. From the day he registered some 9 weeks ago, I always wondered... "For God's sake, but who is Monsieur 405"?!

Can you answer Ben? (please)

- M

PS: in fact, I already know a few very interesting things, but hush... I will let him speak ;-)

Hi Everyone,
Wednesday, September 1st, is the second anniversary of JazzOn2 radio. To celebrate we will be airing some sample editions of our regular programming. A special one-hour edition of "Good Vibes" will be aired at 11:00 am eastern (US) time. I've pulled a couple of tunes from each of the first four "Good Vibes" shows, which began in May of this year. I will be playing Tony's "Nascimento," Joe Locke's "Alone Together" with vocalist Kenny Washington, Jay Hoggard's "Swing 'em Gates," and nine others. Hope you can listen in!
