Here's the link... just a little funny. But click on the reading glass, you'll get the detail of the apron... a bit more funny huh?

Steve Nelson w/ Dave Holland Big Band live at Newport Jazz Fest 2008

Unfortunately there is no vibe solo but the music is cooking nonetheless. Nelson's comping is superb. At about 3:00 they flash on Steve and it looks like he is using Mainieri style grip. Then about 40 seconds later they show him again and it looks like he has the mallet between ring and middle fingers. Are my eyes playing tricks on me or did he switch?

Record Yourself and Keep It For the Future

I'm digging back into recordings from a few years ago. I have an m-audio and was bringing out to lots of gigs.

I just started digging into ones from 4 years ago. It's really great because they're far enough away that I have really no connection to them. I can really listen critically which i'm doing right now.

Checking out your past can really give you a perspective on things. Too bad we can't listen to the future! That would really help.
