Now that I've had the chance to sift through a lot of the commentary on the site, I think it's time to fill in some details. I enjoyed reading the comments posted following the review of my ALONE AT LAST record, both the praise and the criticisms. Believe me, I'm my worst critic, so it doesn't bother me at all if someone doesn't like something I've done. In fact, I doubt there is any one person who would like ALL the records I've made. Even I don't like them all! (But don't even think of asking me which ones I don't like!)

Joe Locke is Crazy!
Joe's birthday is this Wed. March 18th.

Let's all wish him a happy birthday!

Great Gary Video here!

Hello everyone,

I have a clinic/concert coming up in April that I wanted to let you know about. It will take place on Monday, April 20th at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Illinois.

The clinic will be held at 4 and will cover mallet and improv related topics.

The concert will be at 6:30. I’ll be playing along with several members of the faculty including drummer Rodrigo Villanueva who teaches in the percussion department.

Here’s the contact information:

Northern Illinois University
1425 W. Lincoln Highway
Dekalb, Illinois 60115-2825

Hope we get some people!!! Comment here if you are. Come on people! It's easy to do. Just need a web cam or video cam. I can help you set it up.

When someone posts a 'Who Is' they're asking about someone on the site. Inviting them to tell their story. When you get a 'Who Is', it's optional but would be nice to share a little about yourself with us.

If you're a member you get to hang out with some really prestigious players here. You see them online and I'm sure it's exciting when you see some of the pros online. I dig it!

If you could see what's happening on the inside of the site. The practicing, the posting, getting comments from the pros about your playing, trying etudes with other members of the site.

This is pretty cool.

dear tony,
maybe it would be nice if you give us a little bit of information about you. from the site i only know a few things. but i would like to know about your musical background...where did you study, how you came to the vibes,do you play drums also, your teachers etc.

on the site there are some bio´s of some great vibe players but i am missing yours "the chief" of the site...you should fix that!

Wow! Gary Burton is playing a few dates with Pat Metheny on the east coast and will be in Philly!

Upon Gary Burton's suggestion, this is the first female vibist review! :o)

The biography of Marjorie Hyams is quite short. She was born in 1923 and as said Scott Yanow "if [she] had not retired prematurely, she would be much better-known today.
