Dear all,

Here are some news from Joe Locke: about to play a gig in Winnipeg, he had to undergo an emergency appendectomy.

Luckily, all went fine. He'll have to stay in the hospital for 3 days and then on his way home for recovery.

His manager Tom Marcello nicely kept us informed and just gave us those latest good news...

Let's all wish Joe a prompt recovery, good times back and to see him back on board... and on stage!!

Hi ,

This video is somewhat special for me... It's the last time I played vibes ! As some of you know, I'm now in Warsaw without a vibes since October.

So just before leaving France, I recorded this in my parent's living room with a good friend of mine.
I tried to put into application what I learned from the TOTM My romance.

Warren is a pretty heavy cat in my book!

I think Diane plays this just great. The melody is so beautiful that we decided not to take any solos. I like it when singers just play a ballad straight down, one time.

I thought this might be of interest to check out. It's a good shot of the instrument and the sticks. So now you can see when I hit a wrong note and how exactly I did that!

Lady Be Good! Enjoy! - M

Another one with the duet!

Enjoy!

Another one without Milt,

I'm totally thrilled!!!

I just had a little chat on Facebook with Mike Ledonne... and he told me that he did that great thing of putting back those incredible vids of JazzBaltica 1999, with those beautiful duets between Milt and Bobby!!

Isn't that magical?!!!

Enjoy the good old vibe back!!!
