Here's a little snippet of Lionel Hampton's DVD from the Jazz Icons series that I posted about.

Hey guys Last night I went to dizzys club in new york and saw joe locke perform and it was really amazing! Joe has such a beautiful sound and approach to the vibes and the music. If you are in the area you should go see the show! He is there through sunday!
Pretty cool original composition by the vibist from Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble.
Joe Locke is not only a great player, but a real spokesman for the instrument. He travels all around the world and and has a great stage presence. Check him out!
The first time I saw this Duo was at a marimba Festival. I had my mouth open the entire concert. I was just totally blown away by them!!
Since that day I hear and feel music in a totally different way. Joe and Christos are two amazing musicians that put their hearts in every note they play.
Check out their CD as a duo: "Van Gogh by Numbers". Incredible!!
