Hi All,

Since it's the last day of my cell phone billing cycle and I have some data left, we've made a last minute decision to Livestream tonight's gig. The link is http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1758489/events/2195047/statuses/2218….

We'll be starting at about 7:30 (pm EDT) and going for an hour or so with the Livestream -- don't want to run over my data limit! There won't be anyone to monitor the chat room, so you're on your own there.

Enjoy!

Tom P.

Guys, let me present you Stephen Neweissman, a very cool LA vibist, participant in the Vibe Summit and student of Nick Mancini. He was in visit in Paris with his very nice wife Sonya. They proposed a meeting and we had a very pleasant lunch near my work. As usual, we took the "traditional" picture in front of "Les Invalides". This is my picture #4, but not the least! Thanks guys for this great moment! :o)

Hi All,
Here is the article I wrote for my monthly column, On The Road, in the New Jersey Jazz Society magazine. It appears in the just-released July/August issue. This magazine is sent to members only and is not available online. Anyone who would like the full 54-page mag, please email me and I will send the whole pdf.

So, I'm pretty sure this is going to be simple but I can't be the only one who has problems with posting pictures... How do I do it? And (slightly unnecessary, but could be very helpful!) can you upload pictures through a smart phone? Thanks!

Hey friends,

I recorded this rehearsal of my little solo suite for Vibraphone and iPhone called "Nordlig Vinter" recently. Thought some of you might be interested! There's three short pieces in the one video: Ice Drum, Clusters and Snow Bells.

If you like the music there's more information on my site: http://charlesmartin.com.au/nordligvinter

Just thought I'd mention goals again! They work so well for me! I learn something. I play something. I have this prepared by this date. I record this on zoom on this date. I work hard to achieve those goals. I move them up on my list of priorities. I don't give myself too many. I make sure that I choose goals that challenge me and are within reach. I work hard on the goals. I pretend they are real. They sort of are real right? If you have goals and have priorities AND manage them you will get better on the vibes!

Does anybody know the changes to 'Somewhere in the Night'? The classic version is, of course, on Grant Green's album 'Street of Dreams' featuring Bobby Hutcherson. I know there is a video of Bobby playing it with Joey D as well. It seems like a tune that isn't played very often, but it's got a great melody and really swings. The form is also somewhat unusual, being 24 bars in length. I worked out the melody, but have been having some difficulty figuring out the changes because I suck at hearing bass lines and chords played on Hammond organ.
