this is one piece of my last gig on sunday, written by my friend the guitar player jan called: trenne nie st

funny is: i forgot to play the head again at the end of my solo.i only realized this because of the video.

p.s. i thought it´s fair to post this video since i could not play at hang although tony and dana tried to convince me...now you see why i could not :)

I was playing the piano and wanted to randomly choose a tune out of the RealBook, and opened to Lament by J. J. Johnson. I think it is a beautiful ballad. Here is my attempt of an arrangement for vibes. I tried to get the fullness I was getting on the piano, but it is tough on (my) vibes. Maybe at some point, I will record piano, and play vibes on top of it. I found that Ted posted a piano/vibes duet of Lament (see Check This Out, above). And here is Milt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgjs2qUXqy0.

Check out Joe's new mallets. They are really great! i dig them!

Here's another clip from the Sunday brunch gig. I've had many conversations with other players about playing these types of gigs. For me, I really enjoy playing these kinds of gigs where the music is more background as opposed to a concert situation. If we can play the music we want and no one bothers us, I'm happy. I also think that sometimes the music played at these gigs can be better. We can experiment, take chances, try out new tunes and techniques, let the music breathe and let the music go where it wants to go,...
