You Can Take Only 1 Vibe CD With You

Only 1. What would it be? Just one.

Forget the desert island, let's just say you're going away for 6 months and for whatever reason you can only bring one cd with you. (Just a way to build a best of list)

Hmmm and how about this: once the CD is posted you can't take that CD. That will help us build an interesting list of cds, I think.

My pick would be 'Alone - Gary Burton'.

Almost over!

I've been doing the U Arts summer camp program. This year for some reason was a hard year. I'm not sure why, however, I'm done after tomorrow (friday) and then I'll get back to posting my usual barrage of stuff here!

Calm Down by Florian Poser

This is a nice and cool version of my bossa-ballad "Calm Down" (recorded "live in Berlin", 2006), played by the musical fellows and friends of my brazilian jazz group BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE from NYC.

Gustavo Bergalli - trumpet
Klaus Mueller - piano
Itaiguara - bass
Portinho - drums
Florian Poser - vibes

Have fun!

For those who are interested in playing the tune I attached the sheet-music as PDF file to this post.

Milt - blind fold test from 1988

searching through music files today i came across a Down Beat magazine from 1988 and started paging through it - attatched is a PDF
Milt did the Blind Fold test in this issue, (where they play current artists and try to guess) and his comments really caught my attention...then again his comments always get my attention, so thought i would post it up here.

enjoy
