Check out the equation in the middle of the video. Leigh talks about using force to make volume.

Bob (delisler) posted on TOTM 2. I made a reply, made it more general and here it is!

There was a bit of talk about the lyrics to standard/show tunes. Some felt it was important to be aware of them when playing and improvising on them. Some didn't, myself included . These are the kinds of lyrics I like. Check Michael out. He recorded all the tracks himself and it grooves like crazy!!!
Enjoy!

I just found this on youtube. I really dig this band, and the bass player Tony Marino is such a mo' fo'. Todd is a great percussionist and I of course I think the world of Diane Monroe!

Had to throw this together for a couple possible cool gigs. So I thought I'd post it.

I love this duo and it's a real challenge as it comes together! I love playing with a bass player and I love playing without a bass player. I love trying to make it all happen without the conventional instruments and setting.

Feel free to make fun of the shirt. Why I wore a shirt like that and videoed it i will never know. I'm not sure if music is my thing, but I KNOW video is not!!!!! However knowing how to get some stuff done is cool and helps get the gigs!

Check out Casey Cangelosi, a nice Italian boy and a totally happening marimba player!!!

Casey is doing a workshop at the University of Delaware this weekend (November 6 and 7th) and we'll be featuring him at the vibe hang this sunday (November 7, 2010), 2:30pm East Coast, USA time.

Remembering Jack Brokensha told by Johnny Moore

When Jack Brokensha formed a Quartet here in Sarasota, I was fortunate to be picked as the drummer. This was around 1998.
He was a wonderful person to work for and to work with, supportive and appreciative, trusting the musicians to play the right things.
