Diego Urbano, member from Argentina and "old cyber pal" put this on his Facebook.

PS: Man I love it all, the expressions, the parodic details, choice of characters and words, and when they sing out of tune they are so funny!!
Joe Magnarelli is on the road right now in spain. So he posts little words of wisdom over at the trumpet.jazzimprovonline.com. Here's his most recent post. I thought it was cool.
Just did a clinic in Llieda Spain, and realized that
when you get down to it, copying from the masters is the quickest way to get better.
You can study scales and patterns, that's cool, but when
stealing from the classic records you're getting scales and patterns too.
And you're understanding them in the context of a tune.
For example, check Fee-fi-fo-fum (spelling?)
I am working on playing a classical piece. I try to play it like I am performing. If I make a mistake while playing a slow line, should I try and correct it during the performance, or should I just let it be and continue on? If it is a fast line, I have no choice but to move on.
Thanks,
Barry
David sent this video over of him demonstrating to a student the idea of playing laid back. So now we get to check it out as well. It's a beautiful solo! I love his lines and his feel! -- Tony Miceli
This is not vibes, but man, it's amazing music!
Louis Winsberg is a great French guitarist. I met him as he worked with my vibist friend Norbert Lucarain, and I already talked on the site about him and his great contribution to the world music and jazz.
A few years ago, I was at a concert and I saw this incredible Saz duet with his pal Jean-Christophe Maillard... It never had been recorded... until now! And untill my friend Bernard found it!
The Quartet that I have been playing with for a few months now just decided to record a demo to give out to places so we can score some more gigs. We met up at a school in a choir room and mic'd up and ran through with minimal takes. Then the bass player ran it through logic. Pretty quick and dirty.
I decided that instead of posting all the recordings on here, I would just post my myspace page with all my stuff.
the group is:
Joe Doubleday- Vibes
Dr. Cory Gavito- Piano
Mike Boyle- Bass
Hal Corn- Drums
Hi Tony and everybody;
Actually, I don't have a lot of time to follow all new topic on the site, but I don't forget you!!
When I practice I record myself, so here is a video of "oléo" was record this week.
Advise, critical, all comments are welcome!
I think that I miss direction in my solo, too much "draft".
wrong notes and bad rhythm also in the thème sometimes... sorry! ^^

This is pretty funny, especially when they talk about jazz.
Pretty epic huh? I haven't listened to it for a long time. I installed Ubuntu on one of my PC's and set up last fm on it and have been listen to things I haven't heard in a long time.
Is that Freddie on trumpet? What a trumpet solo.
The cut I just listened to was Ella singing Mack the Knife. They have the wrong CD listed. Isn't this Live in Berlin? Where she forgets the words? Wow, who is the piano player on that? That is so swinging and then Ella does a Louie solo. OMFG.
I thought this was interesting and might get some talk going. Schoenberg is a tough one for me. Bartok, Shostakovitch and Stravinski I get, and I can hang with Schoenberg for a bit but not long!
