How can you make a note or notes get louder while they are ringing out?
Attached is an example.

This is from a recent online concert.
Twitter is one of those web apps where it's kind of hard to find some meaning and usefulness. I always feel a little vain when I Tweet. But I recently found a good use for it especially if you don't mind sifting through some stuff.
Put in Coltrane or Milt or Hindemith (like I did) in the search box and search through this gigantic database of 140 character tweets (as they say). I found out some websites, some great cds and a few facts about Hindemith.
I'm starting to think that it's a really great tool for getting info.
So the M-48 has a big flaw. Those rails you take off bend down. then the notes don't dampen evenly or even well.
So Nico is making me a new keybed for the M-48. Then I'll have a great instrument. The keybed will fit on top of my M-48 legs. Is that cool?? Only Nico could do this!
Then my next step is to save more money and get him to make me a set of bars that will replace my Musser bars!
I also have an old M-55 and the legs are bent. So he's making me replacement legs for the M-55 which will make it sturdy again.

This is a video I recently made of my band, Nós Novo, playing one of my favorite Bjork tunes. Though the band was founded with a view to playing and playing with Celtic musics from our perspective as jazz musicians, we also do the occasional song that I just really enjoy playing and feel suits the group... to my ears there's a lot of connection to Irish music in this performance, but if it doesn't strike you that way, I hope you enjoy it for what it is. Our members be:
Thanks to Carlos Maldonado for finding more of this!
Thought I'd ad this to Gary's post about Duke!
Check out Duke holding the music for Johnny Hodges!
