On this post all you guys and gals out there can add your birthday wishes for our great host(for almost two years now!).
Guys,
I've been given this link by my guitarist friend Bernard after I shared the recent Clark Terry vid... This French band is too good!! FYI, on xylphone vibist Jean-Miche Davis. (pass it on! :o)
Enjoy!

A true legend!
I posted about transcribing some MJQ and hearing mistakes in the recording and feeling a little funny about it. This is one of my favorite groups, but I was complaining a little bit!
My punishment was that the video - 'Modern Jazz Quartet, Django. True Jazz Inovators in Their Best Filmed Performances' came today. I'm in the middle of it now, all black and white so far. Between that and the looks of them this must be early on. They sound SO good. Milt sounds beautiful! Thanks for putting me in my place Almighty Amazon.com!
My first wife was an actress who did a lot of mime. This brought back some trauma. (Don't tell her I said that)
This is pretty cool. Cop that groove!!! :-)
So tell me how you found the vibraphone?
Here's my abridged version.
I played classical guitar growing up and was very serious about it. I also played drums and then picked up piano as a teen.
I almost went to school for piano, but some weird stuff happened with piano lessons and I quit on a dime as they say.
Jeez, probably not the kind of drummer we want on a jazz gig? Did I post this already?
Killer band. I want to gig with 4 percussionists!
