Guys, here's a version of Jobim's Wave from the Berklee fundraiser concert that we did on 3/30/12. It features Matt Marvuglio on flute along with Nori Shiota on bass and Jazz Robertson on drums. Nori and Jazz are students at the school. I thought they both did a great job on the concert.

Doing some simple reharm doing my solo and comping for Matt's solo. Substitute Dom 7 chords, Dim Maj 7 in place of Maj 7, some constant structure chords, symmetrical diminished voicings, etc. The symmetrical diminished scale is also good for playing shapes when soloing.

Some tips on creating voicings.

Hi All- Having some bad troubles with the motor on my M46, hoping someone could point me in a useful direction.

I've got 2 high quality mics for sale. These AKG c-414s are excellent for studio recording or amplification on a gig. They are large diaphragm condenser mics that recording engineers have used and trusted for years.

This mic has 4 settings - cardioid, hyper cardioid, omni, and figure 8. It has 2 roll-off settings for low frequences of 75 hz or 100hz. You can also reduce the sensivity by 10 or 20 db. Both come with windscreen, mic stand adapter, case, and user manual.

Hey Folks,
I posted a couple days ago that I was clearing out a ton of mallets from my collection. I currently have half a dozen sets on EBAY ending about a day. Most of them are still bidding at under $20 for the set of 4. All of these are mallets I got, played on once or twice and decided they weren't for me. Search vibraphone and they'll come up. Good chance to beef up your collection on the cheap!

Just a heads up.

We have the PA chapter Day of Percussion coming up.

Chris Thile is one of the best mandolin players in the world. He was in the band Nickel Creek, and now is in a band called Punch Brothers. He is a monster improviser who plays a lot of jazz, bluegrass, and classical music.

Check out his lines. The melodic development is really something... you can tell that he has played a lot of Bach. I heard him talk about how he practices Bach. He learns the piece, then improvises over the harmony playing stuff similar to what Bach wrote, but not the exact notes. What a great idea, treating Bach like a bebop head.

This is why I bought the MalletKat. To play stuff like this with my shirt off. Now wouldn't that be cool??

Some of you guys are NOT going to dig this. But some of you are going to flip. I flipped.

Hi all,
I am crossing the globe to do some gigs in Italy (around the Milan region).
Can anyone point me in the right direction to hire or borrow a good set of vibes for a few days (or possibly a few weeks) in that part of the world.

Victor recently posted this awesome picture of him and sax player Jorge Roque Martinez on his FaceBook page. He nicely allowed me to "steal" it and share it with you!

Anda!! :o)
