House music! I love this video, hope it brings a smile to your faces too!
Fair warning -- this is a major geek-out. I'll forgive anyone who doesn't want to slog through it, and I don't expect many comments.
But, I'll go ahead. As often comes up in comments to posts here, this is a freakin' fantastic site. Most recently this comment has come up in response to the video of David playing "Giant Steps", but the awesomeness has many dimensions, including the contributions of the star players, the working pros, the students and the people just trying to make the best music they can.
Hey everyone,
Here's a video of the Brian Blade song, Stoner Hill from a gig I played a few nights ago. It was our first gig with this group but I'm really excited to get to play with these great musicians. Tony wanted me to post a recording as part of my assignment.
Thanks a lot!

Anybody have any specific info about this video of Red Norvo throwing his bars out onto the stage on this Benny Goodman show? BTW, that's Hank Jones on piano looking suprised. When I first saw this I was horrified, but I've come to understand that it was a gag. Love to hear more info about it. Very strange.
This is a movie I shot when I was in Philly in August 2007 I was doing some stuff with Tony at the University Of The Arts and at the end of the lesson I asked Tony to play a tune, this is the result totally on the spot performance and its great even though Tony did'nt think so and guess what later that evening we went out for something to eat and Tony being the perfectionist that he is gives me a cd of the same tune he recorded in the interim man you have to love this guy.Hope you all enjoy this, should also mention as this was recorded with the camera mic the audio is not the best quality
Hey all,
I ran into this clip on YouTube, and thought I should share it.
I love Hamp, but he was not a player I listened to a lot as a student. However, I appreciate him more every day and I found this clip to be awesome. Really in his prime here. Listen to how hard these guys are swinging!

I just found this video and thought I should post it on here. The quality is great. We're playing this tune in our ensemble at Uarts that Tony directs. Does anyone know who's playing vibes in it? Thanks!
I have not been playing much lately (which is not really making me happy)...but anyway, I grabbed a few minutes and was thinking about the Stride Blues stuff that Tony & Ed had done. So I propped up my iPhone, and made a little video. The thing works great for these kind of practice videos! Thank you guys, for the inspiration...
