General

I've a sing-a-long vibe show coming up at a rest home next week. In the firm belief that going on with life into old age takes both courageous endurance and a sense of humor, I wrote up the following lyrics to "So What". I'd welcome additional verses:

My aching back hurts like the dickens So .. What
It won’t give me a moment’s peace So .. What
It creaks and rattles on forever So .. What
Maybe it needs a little grease So .. What

The nurse here is a nasty creature So .. What
She’s mean and and doesn't give a damn So .. What

Happy and full of excitement we announce our 100% new website, now available at the trusted address: www.vanderplasbaileo.com

After many months of preparations we could not resist to release any longer. You can now interactively communicate with us better than ever. We have included some totally new features like:

No loud talking, everybody paying attention. No clinking glasses. I WANT this gig -- jazz for cows

I feel like i've been on a treasure hunt lately. I've been looking for grad schools to apply to for Jazz Vibraphone (graduate level). Im not finding a big list here, and was hoping some of you guys would have a better idea as to wear i could consider applying?
So far i know of: Manhattan (locke), UArts (miceli), Queens (rafalides).
Know of any others?

When you come into rehearsals what do you expect to happen? Do you have order to your rehearsals? Is there a leader, or does everyone just work together?
For me personally, i prefer to walk in with a set idea of what to do. Whether its running through tunes we as a group are all familiar with, or running through an arrangement idea someone had.

I hope you stay safe and dry. Thinking about our NYC members and those who live up and down the Atlantic coast. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

This year Gary Burton - Joe Locke - Warren Wolf are all playing at the festival, woo-hoo!! I'm hoping to meet them. I met Joe the last time he was here with his Milt Tribute band. Joe took time after his set to chat with me for a few minutes and I got a pic with him. It was a real thrill for me. Of course Joe's just a regular guy who happens to play the vibes, I've found that out about all the pro's here. This is what's so great about this site. Everyone from the novice to the pro coming here sharing, learning and encouraging.
