Aesthetic Decisions for a Jazz Vibist #6 (what you do on stage between tunes)

It was brought to my attention that Behn was talking about this at the workshop in Philly last week. I thought I should address it with this series of posts. That said, I openly admit that I need to elevate my game on this one. What I generally have been doing for the last 47 years isn't working on this level. :)

"I'll Remember April" - Solo Vibes

“I’ll Remember April” - played this song this past Saturday night on the gig with Mark. One of the classic standards and always fun to play. Playing here in the early morning at Berklee before a class. The building used to be a hotel many years ago. The Percussion department is in the basement and the school renovated the entire floor years ago. They left the granite stone exposed which looks great.

Feliz

Took some videos of a recent performance at an assisted living facility. At least we didn't distract the guy on the left so much he couldn't work on his puzzle.
