Stole this off our sister site www.trumpetworkshop.com. There's a whole series over there. Is this helpful to anyone? If so I'll steal more!
Chega De Saudade - Gustavo Agatiello & Ed Saindon performing at Berklee Percussion Festival on June 20th, 2011.
Here's another one I captured on video. I only wish I captured more footage.
p.s. sorry for the movement in the videos - it was difficult to sit still and hold my camera during this ;-)
Enjoy!!

This is what I was trying to make reference to in the shout box, on June 22nd, (sorry about the clutter). I think the two instruments compliment each other well in this atmospheric composition. Thoughts?
Roger Beaujolais, vibes, BJ Cole, pedal steel and Simon Thorpe, bass are LushLife "Chasing A Dream".
Just a quick tip here. Dig by Miles is a great melody to study. Try playing it and tapping your feet on 2 and 4! Try playing it by yourself and just making it swing. All the offbeats make it a challenge.
I think it's great to study melodies and to work on phrasing them. Actually I think it's an Art the way some players play melodies. I know I too often overlook them and take them for granted. But there's so much to learn playing and studying melodies.
Joe Magnarelli - Trumpet
Me - Vibes
David Brodie - Bass
Dan Monaghan - Drums
This is a GREAT story. I Hope Alain will talk about his vibes and what he's doing. Incredible interesting I think. 
This is a complete version, with the first part (kind of verse for american people), by Yves Montand, one of the best french singers, who created the song (not exactly, there was another version before, but which didn't do the tremendous hit of Montand's one).
Since the lyrics are a poem of Jacques Prévert, if you sing the song in french, it's a nonsense not to sing both parts.
I felt anyone would know all that. Enjoy !
(Oh ! I don't have any idea who is the vibist...)
Our next TOTM is Autumn Leaves. Here is one of my favorite versions. Do you know who Eva Cassidy is? Man check her out, she is pretty heavy. More of a blues singer, but wow, she gives me chills. She died very young and in her prime. I'm a huge Eva Cassidy fan and this is my most favorite versions of Autumn Leaves.
We won't use this to study, but I just figured I'd post it.
POST YOUR FAVORITE VERSIONS OF AUTUMN LEAVES IN THE COMMENTS. WE WILL BUILD A HUGE JUKE BOX OF AUTUMN LEAVES!
Check out the versions below. All the interpretations. Man!!!
