Vibraphone

Wonderful composition by Mark titled "And Marvin is Monk" which is based on Blues changes. Fun tune to play on. The melody and changes are the catalyst for spirited and creative playing. Great comment by Mark at the end of the clip. "You guys are really getting nutty". I think that should be the title of the CD. Ha!Ha!

Henry Mancini's The Days of Wine and Roses played by Billy Novick on clarinet, Mark Carlsen on upright bass and myself on vibraphone. Hoping to dub the audio recording to the video footage at some point, but for now this is the clip with the video sound. (Sorry for the buzz).

Hey,

Another great practice video from Patrice, who still needs my help to post! ;-)

Here is his comment :

"A new version of Piazzola masterpiece. Giovanni's beautiful version reminded me the previous one i recorded two years ago. I decided to make a new try. I play bass and guitar part on keyboard as well on this one. .... "

Enjoy guys and thanks Patrice for sharing your work!

Hi all,
Spring is finally here, but since we still have snow on the ground here in New Jersey it doesn't yet feel like it. I think it will just turn up and surprise us one day.

Just wanted to let everyone know that in my quest for a set of mallets that matches an old set I like from the 80's, Mike Balter is the man. I sent him a single mallet and Mike is making me a custom reproduction (for normal retail costs)
So if you have something you want specifically, call Mike he is the man.

One of the wildest performances on you tube, I think....
