Hi people!! this link regards another video around TIME it's a beautiful song from my friend, a great Italian guitarist: Enrico Bracco and is very challenging..

Both Tony and Benh inspire me in this one.
I reach 290 in I got rythm. Still a bit ackward but practicing at these tempos should give me more suppleness.
Go back to my vibe ....

Not much to say about this.
Still practicing ... months after months ....

Hi all,
Hope everyone had a good summer. I was on sabbatical from the University of Cincinnati last semester and finished a vibraphone method book. It focuses on building technique and creating ideas for improvisation. If anyone is interested there is a link below.
Best,
Rusty

A solo version of my tune Waltz for Tomorrow.

Rusty

I first heard this piece, titled Adagio for Strings in the early 1970s. I was so moved by the music that I decided to try to score it out for 2 marimbas and try to play it. My duet partner was Stu Balcomb, who older Berklee students may remember.

We worked it up and got a chance to perform it in concert around 1975. It was in a big hall for a large audience. The marimbas were an excellent choice to capture the beauty and simplicity of the music and our performance was very well received. I will always remember that night as one of the highlights of my musical journey.
