PS. Reposting twotreesmusic's original post so that the video gets picked up by the Roku/Android/iPhone apps.
So That's noon in Philadelphia and 9am on the WEST Coast. (I think I got that right).
Myself, David Friedman and Phillipe Mace will be performing as well as players from the workshop. So come check us out!
George passed away at 91 today. Here's a nice video of his group playing "Conception" -- not sure who the vibes player is.

Hi Gang,
Since we all seem to know the birthdays of our esteemed pros (both living and deceased) and we take a moment to recognize them, we, at the same time, do not have in our profiles the birthdates of our ever growing membership. Thought I would kick that off today with this announcement:
I am 75 years of age as of yesterday, Feb 11, and am proud to be able to announce that and very happy that I am physically here to experience it.
If you want to register early (last year we turned people away) email Harvey price at hprice@UDel.Edu. He'll take a small deposit and hold your place.
We're starting to get ready for the Delaware workshop again. This will be from July 31st until August 5th.
Between the instruments we get and ones people bring we will have an instrument for everyone, also a practice room. I think you'll also each have your own piano in the room.
I don't know a lot of these songs but it's still interesting.
I have a set of Friedman 30Ls to give away.
If you want them, all you have to do is put up 4 Friedman CDs via the Amazon Review under POST.
The first one to put 4 cds up gets the mallets.
Hi Everyone,
Good Vibes airs Sunday night Feb 6, 8-10pm eastern time. Yes, I know it is Super Bowl night! If you're watching the Super Bowl, the rebroadcast is Wednesday afternoon at 4-6. OR -- watch the Super Bowl with a Good Vibes radio soundtrack!
Randy Sutin has the first cut with "Lift Every Voice," in honor of black history month.
Then we travel to some warm places to get away from the snow-bound northeast: Tahiti, Barbados,
Phoenix, St. Thomas. And if you can't get away, walk on the sunny side of the street.
Hope you can listen in.

hey everyone,
i just thought this might be helpfull for some of the beginners of you, because to me it opened up the doors for my first improvisations. i had a chat with marie about soloing, that´s why i did this "lesson". i´m no tony and just a student, so please don´t mind me doing this but i thought any tip might be helpful.
