Here we go. Ok. Just in Time is a VERY cool tune for many reasons. I'll save those for my lessons which will come soon.
Just to let you guys know.
We're setting up the workshop for winter. I think it will be in Dusseldorf in a music school. Here's what I know.
We'll have a few instruments.
We'll have practice rooms.
We'll have an evening percussion ensemble.
It should be the end of February.
I'll know more this week. But it's looking good! We needed a place where we could practice, etc.
This is a cool set of vibes. i JUST FORGOT to get him to play something!
Tunes from the performance book with James - Find them back here:
Ok, that's enough with the chops, huh? I'm away for one week. Behn said he'd shoot me if I didn't end the chops TOTM.
So let's get back to a tune. ok? Just In Time me and Behn were thinking of.
I think Behn has one more chops exercise, so we'll start rapping things up. In as week we'll start JUST IN TIME.
My semester is coming to a close and I'll get some lessons up. I have more from Christos.
How about some more mini concerts? I love them!
Maybe a vibe hang in December?
I"m doing a recording in Dusseldorf with David Friedman. We decided to make it a sort of live concert. But we'll only invite 20 people I think. Any VW members interested? Gonne be around Dusseldorf? Now sure if they are charging to tickets, I think they might be.
Let me know if you want to come? The audience will be in the recording studio with us. Matthais says there is room.
The recording is Monday, November 26, probably starting around 7 PM.
VibesWorkshop people!! This Wednesday, November 14 the Millersville University Percussion Ensemble will premiere Tony's composition "WEISS GUY" dedicated to Steve Weiss. Through many rehearsals, rewrites, and student input I think the piece is in a pretty cool place. It certainly showcases Tony as a soloist and has plenty of very hip ensemble moments. It has been a pleasure working with Tony on this venture and the kids have certainly gained a considerable amount from the experience. If you are in the area and can make it out please do, you will not be disappointed!!
Here's a funny out take from the video session Christos did at my house. He's not only a great player but he's a funny guy also!
