Marimba

Here are finally some videos from our winter workshop in Wuppertal - Germany. This one is the free ensemble made of all willing participants, and "directed" by our host Matthias Goebel.

Honestly I'm not much into 'free' music, but what Matthias managed to get the guys into is really beautiful to my ears. Just take those few minutes to listen. Thanks a lot Matthias and guys!! :o)

Tony just posted this video a few mn ago on his FB profile... Isn't it beautiful! :o)

Hauke is among our youngest (and newest) members. We met him in Wuppertal last February. Here is a beautiful piece he wrote for vibes and marimba (wow)... Enjoy...

This month of February has been very rich with experiences! First our winter workshop took place in Germany. All first archives bellow. Then we finished our great lesson series with How Deep Is The Ocean and switched to our new Tune Of The Month: Satin Doll! Then a few of us participated in our very first online skype lesson with Tony. All testimonies in the discussion section… and more! Enjoy!

hey,

in my series frank zappa M-Kat playalong i present today:

zomby woof.

i love that tune and it´s a really cool rock composition of frank, showing that avantgard rhythms like quintuplets can fit into a rock setting. i cutted out the biggest part of frank´s guitar solo and hope he will not hate me for that weherever he is now. i transcribed the marimba part sometime ago and attached it as pdf.

unfortunatley the auto focus of my cam went a little bit crazy...sorry for that.
hope you like it.

Hi All,
I just discovered a website that will record a radio program from the Internet so that you can listen to the radio anytime you want. This would be great for the Europeans who want to listen to my show, Good Vibes, but find the time very inconvenient (like the middle of the night). You can find it at www.dar.fm. I have not tried it yet so I can't vouch for its reliability. If anyone does try it, let me know if it was successful.
The website is www.jazzon2.org. Good Vibes will air on Sunday, December 2, 8-10pm eastern
and again on Wednesday, Dec 5, 4-6pm eastern.
