Hey Tony!
Happy 50th!
Congratulations for making it so far & keep going!
Thanks for this pool of great people & ideas, keep it going, too!
I was thinking much about what would be appropriate to post for such a special event.
What came to my mind finally was the long tradition amongst Austrian jazz musicians interpreting Thelonious Monk, because of the great potential they see in his compositions.
So I wrapped one for you!

Hey everyone,

I put all the birthday posts in it's own book section. Let me know if there is any missing.

One of the first things I recorded for Tony when I started my lessons with him was a duet with him playing Stella.

I thought that was sooo coool! Playing together with someone who is in Philly. So I decided I'd record that duet again. So here it is. Now also with me on video(well I tried, but didn't work out so well...). And I had to record outside, so you'll have the pleasure of some birds and wind also... well ectually the power in my container hasn't worked for a week so I had to do it like this...

Guys,

Oh man. This is terrible... I just got a message from the awful "M. the Inquisitor". She is back! She urged me to post this message for you guys… I'm terrified… So here it is:

Now wait people!!

You think Tony Miceli is a great master and composer, right? You are all in total awe of his new tune "Prelude for a Rock Star"… But you don't know the truth…

The truth is Tony Miceli is an impostor, who has been trying to fool you all since ever!

Ok, Tony here is a little trivia for your birthday.

Im playing A tune here from a tv series. If you you answer the following questions right you'll know who rules this community....

1. Name the tv series
2. Name the lead male character in the series(so not the actors name, but the character)

Leave your answer below....

Happy Birthday Tony, Thanks for creating Vibesworkshop!
Heres a quick dirty version of your new Etude!

This video is in appreciation of a vibist who plays Monk exceptionally well and has dedicated part of his life to Monk. Although I fractured it badly, or should I say butchered, the intent is there to celebrate this man's (Tony) 50th birthday. Anyway I was rushed and didn't plan out very well what I was going to do. It should be noted that BIAB Real Tracks will not pedal bass on the head and also will not break the walking bass during the fours.

Have a happy day
