Here's me playing Bluesette to go along with the bluesette lesson.
Check out the other subscribers versions of Bluesette as well!
Here's a great animation based on Coltrane's Giant Steps. Not really vibe related but then it's music related so it counts right?
Check me and me out!
Hey Everyone,
I just stumbled upon this Mike Mainieri Discography. It has some pretty good stuff on there. I actually found it looking for info on his cd: Other side of the Blues.
And I found out that he also played as a sideman on a guitar tribute to the beatles album. At least the info is hard to get, but I listened to a track of Norwegian Wood and it has vibes and some marimba like stuff on it. So if mr mainieri is around, maybe he can confirm this...?
Here's the link to the discography:
It was great to see that Mike Mainieri joined the vibesworkshop.com today. Hopefully we'll see him around a lot!!
Here's a video from 1983 of one of my favorite Mainieri tunes.
Mike's an idol of mine. If you don't the early Steps Ahead stuff you DON'T have any idea of what you're missing. He took the vibes in a whole new direction. When I got the Steps Ahead cd, I had never heard anything like it on the vibes. Add to that the all star cast and what a band.
I saw him several times and was blown away each and every time!
Benny Goodman and Red Norvo.
I didn't know Red Norvo until joining the site...
I love the light swing of this tune.

This is pretty cool!
Hello everyone.
I guess the words "Chega de saudade" and Gary Burton associated together remind you all a special feeling...
Well how to describe it ?
to me : historical
But unseen...only my imagination to put the Burton image on this amazing solo.
I know Tony said the end of the year make some of us feel down,
but it is Christmas time !
Let the hope be with us, and the partage and...voilà !
This is pretty cool! Check out Joe's solo. I was just looking around and this floored me. The thing I also dig is their re-interpretation of the tune. I hear a lot of reinterpretations these days and a lot are so far removed from the original that I personally get a little turned off. It's obvious that Keeser knows the path back to Summertime (IMHO).
