Nick Mancini at Vibe Summit XVlll. June 26th 2011. Dave Mackay on keyboard, Richard Simon on Bass and Paul Kreibich on drums. This video had to be compressed quite a bit so the quality suffered (but not the playing!).
Hi All,
I'm posting this monthly announcement a little earlier than usual because I notice a large majority of you get to read the program announcements well after the shows have aired. Now that's not gonna help if you want to listen in.
This is a very interesting and demanding interlude,written by the great composer/arranger Frank Zappa.It is a incredible exercise on playing a single line melody,using uncommon intervals.
This version appeared on the "Apostrophe"album,as part of a tune called "st Alfonzo's pancake breakfast".It begins approximately at 1:09 and it was performed by the great Ruth Underwood.
It is a standard piece in the Zappa repertoire,and it was played by all the percussionists that played in the Zappa band.
Hello guys and M-N, here's a vid of me practicing the melody of a beautiful composition by Joe titled "Love Is A Planchette". Joe brought the lead sheet when he visited for a rehearsal for our upcoming CD. He'll be here in July at Berklee for a duo concert with Joe and myself playing two vibes. It should be a lot of fun.
This clip is one of three that I posted up on my YouTube page. Pretty funny about my two golden retrievers Gibson and Jackson coming in when I started to play. I'm thinking they either dig or hate it and want me to stop playing. Probably the latter.

Our next vibe hang is July 3rd. So far the line up is:
Randy Sutin, Behn Gillece, Tony Miceli and Dana Sudborough.
I think Nathaniel Vito my student might come an play a tune as well. It's going to be fun!
(Marie - did I do the UTC time right??)
Here's a clip from the Delaware Workshop 8-6-2010, featuring Tony Miceli - vibes, Todd Canedy -drums, and ? on bass.
Tony, what's the name of this tune?
Enjoy!

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!

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!!

I had the pleasure of being at this outstanding performance, and was able to capture some of it on video.
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?
