I just had an interesting 2 gigs weekend, in term of amplification.
I recently buyed second hand AMT mics from Tyler Blanton and I use them with Sennheiser e604 mics as described in this 3 years old post https://www.vibesworkshop.com/blog-entry/some-work-my-m55/babu/050316
Listen and learn! Gloria has a lot of great vibe players on her radio show!
Listen and learn!
Spend some time listening to Gloria Krolak's vibe radio show. You will find great players you never new about!

Hi All,
Playing the classic song "Darn That Dream" with inspiration from the great pianists like Art Tatum, Errol Garner, Dave McKenna, Teddy Wilson and Oscar Peterson. I was listening to Tatum (Pablo recordings) this week during the commute to Boston. I hadn't listened for awhile. Still unbelievable.
