Wow!

Nadja just put on line this new video from JazzBaltica summer 2008.

Joe Locke and Sticks and String re-visiting Saturn's Child... with Rosario Giuliani as guest... Oh man!

I love the way that video was recorded, with close shots of Joe's grip (beginning) and of other musicians in there thoughtfull playings.

A huge solo from Rosario (3'48), who quite often plays with Joe, but whom we don't see enough on videos.

I also truly dug the vibes/guitar double voice speach, especially from 6'10... wow!

Oh... man...

Enjoy! :o)

Not Vibes Related but Music Related big time!

I love this video! I think Pat Methany is the Aaron Copeland of jazz.

Here are some etudes on the tune Cherokee.

Wow!

So a lot's been happening. Some behind the scenes, which is why I haven't been online as much as usual.

Here's the scoop:

First thanks to Joe Locke who talking with Nico Vanderplas and Bill Youhass agreed to send a 3.5 octave set of vibes down to vibes workshop. What a gift! You heard my old instrument. Well it might be great for practicing, but when I would get hate mail from Piper about the sound I knew something had to be done. I just wasn't sure what! Then Joe, Nico and Bill came to the rescue. Thanks so much!!!

Like most people, in December and January I sent some greetings cards, to family or friends, by post or internet, in France or all over the world...

I got replies from nearly all of them, but the most unexpected one must have been this one: London based vibist Roger Beaujolais, got back to my email with some very nice and very cool short vibes pieces, never released on any label!

He kindly agreed that I put them on the site.

Here attached, I chose this tune named "Transparent"...

Vibist Tom Beckham will be touring with drummer George Schuller's Circle Wide this month. This is a band which has been playing together for over 10 years heare in NYC /Northeast and released 2 CD' on Playscape Recordings.

This special edition features Brad Shepik, Peter Apfelbaum, Tom Beckham, Dave Ambrosio, and George Schuller. We look forward to playing for you, see post for more tour info. /tb
