I was listening to this today in fact - I love it. This is the kind of thing where you can really hear what Mike M can do, especially on the standards. It's a 2-CD set, and it's all killer. He's playing on a 3.5-octave vibe too. Everybody should check this out--

his hand was messed up. he jammed it up into something.

he was going to cancel the session but decided not to. he could barely play with i think it was his right hand.

Didn't know this Tony.. he sounds amazing. But just shows you, it's about what's in your head & your heart. What struck me about this session is how clear & strong the ideas are, everyone's great tone, and the listening that's going on...

I've been listening to this for a few weeks now.
It's a great album.
Bye Bye Black Bird.... gave me the incentive to learn it.

The story I did not know. Wow....

Well just one thing - he plays the 3.5 octave vibe, and sometimes on this recording you can really hear the weird overtones on the low end. I'm not a fan of that sound. But the playing is great, and the CD is very well recorded.

This is such a great recording. Mike sounds so good and I had no idea his hand was messed up. Sure doesn't sound like it...he plays great on every tune. A really cool combination with Charlie Mariano.

This was the first album with a vibes player that I really got into. The intimacy of that format is killer and Mainieri's tone and harmonic concept is divine.
