Good Vibes Radio update September 2015

Time

Hey All,
September is coming up fast. Some highlights of the September show:
Something old - Red Norvo and "September Song"
Something new - Joe Locke, from his new Love Is A Pendulum, "For Jesse Mountain"
Something blue - Behn Gillece on Ensemble Novo's CD Blue Night playing "Church Is Where You Are."
Nothing borrowed. Hey, it's not a wedding!
And Tony playing "I Loves You Porgy" from Looking East. For no reason at all, except that it's one of the best renditions of that tune I've ever heard.
Lots more
September airs on the 6th and 9th, 8:00 and 4:00pm eastern.

My new (first) book (be included)

Hi all,
I am putting together a book of free verse with musician photos by the incredible author/jazz photographer Ed Berger. Some of you may remember when I asked around last year for birth dates of vibes players who have recorded to include them in the book. I decided to self-publish and the book is going forward.
One of the verses is actually a compilation of all the vibes players I am familiar with by

Tony Miceli "Masters of the Vibes" Interview Complete!

As some of you guys know, I have been working hard for a number of months on a book of conversations with the great jazz vibraphonists. This will include many of the "big names" you know and love, along with some lesser known artists are also world-class players, and are busy spreading the "good vibes" around the planet. The book is not only going to be a one-of-a-kind collection of conversations celebrating the instrument we love, but also a coffee table-style collector's item, with color portraits and other "goodies."

Behn Gillece needs your help!

Hi everyone,

As many of you may know, my debut album "Mindset" was just released last Friday. For anyone interested in purchasing a copy, it's available on the normal sites (Amazon, iTunes: http://smarturl.it/mindset )

I've also been asked about signed copies, which I'd be more than happy and willing to do. For a signed, physical CD, purchase it from my website ( behngillecejazz.com ) and specify "Signed copy" in the PayPal shipping instructions.

Good Vibes Radio Update June '15

Time

Hi All,
June is shaping up with two new (to me) vibes players, Phil Kraus and Mitch Shiner. I'll open with Christian Tamburr who I met recently at the memorial ceremony for Bob Masteller. Christian flew in from Las Vegas to be there. I really enjoyed seeing, hearing and meeting him. The occasion was a fantastic celebration for the life of Masteller, owner of the Jazz Corner in Hilton Head. Non-stop musicians and music all afternoon from some of the very best.
