Unfortunately, I didn't find the time to work on a Christmas tune this year, so this is a repost of an arrangement I did two years ago of the Christmas Carol "In the Bleak Midwinter." Even though it's not a jazz thing, I'm really proud of this one. I love the sound of chorale-style voices on the vibes.

Merry Christmas!

This is an arrangement of "Someone to Watch Over Me" that I have been working on for the last few weeks. It's inspired by the Keith Jarrett solo version from "The Melody at Night, With You."

I always find my arranging ability outpaces my technical ability on the instrument, so it's always a struggle to play these things well, especially when the tape is on.

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) - A spontaneous version of this classic which is always a favorite this time of year. Happy Holidays to everyone!

"Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans" - one of my favorites played and sung by the great Louis Armstrong. I love this style of old time jazz. Used to listen a lot to Louis, Eddie Condon, Bobby Hackett, Dave McKenna, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Sidney Bechet,...So many great players from that era.

How did I miss this CD. I like it. I LOVE Matchbook. I never heard this one!

I love good guitar and vibe duos. Anyone know of any more?

This is my girlfriends favorite song. She said the title really speaks to her. I don't get it.

Emil was one of the best percussionists ever.

If you watched Bugs Bunny cartoons you heard Emil. Most movies from 70's to the a year or so ago that used LA musicians used Emil.

And he was a very good vibe player!!!

Anyone want to add anything?
