Music does not exist in a vacuum. As musicians we all need other people to appreciate our playing skills and our compositions. A musician's highest goal is to make music that will reach a large audience and maybe, just maybe, make a difference to those who hear us.
Hey everyone,
Tony will be playing in Amsterdam on the 4th of february. So this is a few days before the workshops. If any of you guys are coming to the workshop, maybe you should consider coming on thursday to catch this gig. It'll be fun.
Tony will be playing with some friends of mine that have a great trio. Check them out at: http://www.jurriaanberger.nl/ewohome.htm

I've been thinking about ballad playing, so I thought I'd put my thoughts down on video!
David sent this video over of him demonstrating to a student the idea of playing laid back. So now we get to check it out as well. It's a beautiful solo! I love his lines and his feel! -- Tony Miceli
We now have a very thorough stuff of voicings here! There's so much to learn.
Hi all!
A few days ago I received the Vic Firth Gary Burton mallets - 2 pairs for a total of Euro 65,- Including shipping + import sales/purchases tax + handling by the Austrian mail services. Here in Austria, if the price of an item is less then Euro 150,- there is no duty!
Thats a bargain since a single pair costs about Euro 55,- or more(check out thomann and all the others).
So my recommendation is to order by one of the big shops. I ordered at Steveweissmusic which I can recommend, but there are others.
The only con is that it takes some 4 weeks to get the stuff delivered.
The Quartet that I have been playing with for a few months now just decided to record a demo to give out to places so we can score some more gigs. We met up at a school in a choir room and mic'd up and ran through with minimal takes. Then the bass player ran it through logic. Pretty quick and dirty.
I decided that instead of posting all the recordings on here, I would just post my myspace page with all my stuff.
the group is:
Joe Doubleday- Vibes
Dr. Cory Gavito- Piano
Mike Boyle- Bass
Hal Corn- Drums
Hi Tony and everybody;
Actually, I don't have a lot of time to follow all new topic on the site, but I don't forget you!!
When I practice I record myself, so here is a video of "oléo" was record this week.
Advise, critical, all comments are welcome!
I think that I miss direction in my solo, too much "draft".
wrong notes and bad rhythm also in the thème sometimes... sorry! ^^

This is pretty funny, especially when they talk about jazz.
Pretty epic huh? I haven't listened to it for a long time. I installed Ubuntu on one of my PC's and set up last fm on it and have been listen to things I haven't heard in a long time.
Is that Freddie on trumpet? What a trumpet solo.
The cut I just listened to was Ella singing Mack the Knife. They have the wrong CD listed. Isn't this Live in Berlin? Where she forgets the words? Wow, who is the piano player on that? That is so swinging and then Ella does a Louie solo. OMFG.
