Hey guys,
Here's a recent article on an improvisational topic called Four Note Groupings. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Hey guys,
My website has been updated by vibist Jon Letsky. We're still in the process of tweaking some things, but there's quite a few things up on there now. All of my YouTube videos can be viewed directly from the website under the video section. Some of my past PAS articles and compositions can be downloaded. Lastly, there's information on my mallet, recordings and books on there as well.

Hello fellow vibists,
I'll be giving a clinic at the Academy of Music in Munich on Thursday, March 11th sponsored by Vic Firth and hosted by Peter Sadlo and Arnold Riedhammer. I'll cover the Fulcrum Grip, dampening techniques, improv concepts and solo playing. For more information, just email me at my Berklee email: esaindon@berklee.edu
best,
Ed
So it looks like the spammers have arrived. A couple things:
I've deleted 2 accounts in the last week.
If you see a funny post, put it in the shout box for us to see.
I might ask a few of you guys to take down any comments that looks funny and email me the user name.
If worse comes to worse, we'll have to review comments each night and release them.
Meanwhile I'll talk to my partner. We're using captcha, but I guess that's not enough. Just keep an eye out if you can.
People have been posting what they're working on. They're also posting original compositions and rehearsals and tunes from gigs. This is COOL! I always get inspired listening to others play. And I get ideas also. So I'm glad to see people posting what they're up to! I bet everybody feels the same way.
Here's a chord study for the tune 'My Romance'. I talk and demonstrate and I've posted some voicings to check out and use with the exercises I talk about.
hey guys. i was 5 days off the army and i thought it will be great if i practise these days.i practised chord solo and simple bebop lines(this is something i do for over 3 months)and i posted angel eyes-a part of my study
thanks
see you all soon
I was playing along with this recording. The head is really interesting, rhythmic and syncopated. Birds solo is so simple and cool, just makes the changes.
I've been playing along with the melody and the solo for a couple days, and then trying to take my own choruses and keep Bird's vocabulary if I can. It's not easy for me.
So give it a shot if you want. It should not be difficult to transcribe.
For all of the Philly/Tri-State members of this site, Dan Kleiman, a hugely gifted musician and co-leader of the group Siora along with singer/guitarist Phyllis Chapell, has suffered a massive stroke while apparently preparing to undergo treatments for lymphoma. The damage to his brain was caused by what his surgeon termed a "shower of clots." The damage to his brain apparently is irreparable, such that he would not have any quality of life. I also learned he may not survive the night. Please remember Dan, Phyllis and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
