I can remember going from the Beatles in the '60's to Led Zepplan and Chicago and Blood Sweat and Tears to Hubert Laws to Chic Corea and Joe Farrell back in the 1970's... Then being introduced to Elvin and Bill Evans and Gary Burton. These were amazing experiences for me. What were yours? I think the one that influenced me the most and got me in this business the way I am was.....

(do you think I can sue?)

- Mike Mainieri: vibes
- Etienne Mbappe: bass
- Rodney Holmes: drum
- Bryan Baker: guitar
- Till Brönner: trumpet
- Donny Mc Caslin: sax

I was sitting, waiting. And then came the wizard, followed by five young cats, who could have all been his sons! I was thrilled.

If you post here on the site, you'll see some reorganization starting. The first thing you'll see is in the boxes where you post. We're rearranging the 'Type' categories. Everything is still there, just being moved around.

Over the next 2 weeks, there should be a shift in the front page and some other things. Please hang in there with us. I think it will make the site a little better for us all.

Any questions, just let me know.

I didn't know this one, it has some cool and unseen features in it !
Check it out

I think it is sometimes hard to find a lot of Bobby Hutcherson stuff. He doesn't have loads of cd's with him as a leader, but he did a lot of stuff as a sideman. So there is a guy who put a list on amazon with Bobby Hutcherson on cd's as a sideman! So check it out. I'm gonna post these cd's to the cd library book also.

Man, we saw 4 people online! John Piper Told me there was a lot of you online. Damn, what happened? I thought wow, no one has questions. Oh man. Piper said there were lots of questions. I ended early because it seemed like no one was there. Something went wrong.

Before playing with Gary Burton, Richard Galliano played with french vibists.
I found an old vidéo on youtube with Philippe Macé on Vibes.
The trio is :
R.Galliano on accordion, JC Capon on Cello, And P.Macé on Vibes.
Philippe used to be part of the ensemble Intercontemporain created by P.Boulez.He quited this ensemble to become a fulltime jazzman.
I think David Friedman knows him, maybe he'll say a word.

I like the sound of the trio and the vibes solo at the end.
I'd say the video is from early 80s.
