Hello! It's been too long since I've posted music on this site...this is what happens when you're earning a Ph.D, eh? Hopefully I'll be able to work on a TOTM or something soon...
Anyway, I've called your attention here for a couple reasons:
I am very glad to present this new duo with David (actually not so new ...)
Here's a chordal etude for It's You Or No One. It's deceptively tricky! Enjoy!
Hi folks,
Here's a new video from a recent CD release gig in NYC. This piece started as a bit of a vibes etude that I expanded for a trio. This track is entitled "Never Sleeps" from my last album "Gotham."

The song is dedicated to my mentor David Friedman. Once we were hanging out in my house in Italy and I showed him the harmonic and rhythmic Idea that opens the song. Then we decide to play a "kind of blues" on top of this strange chords progression... after a couple of week I composed this tune!!

I started experimenting with Tony's signature Balter mallets about 6 months ago and they have become my goto mallet, replacing the Good Vibes (now Vic Firth) Burton mallets that I used for so many years.
Although they are harder than the Burtons, they can still produce a nice full tone, but with some added brightness that makes the vibe sound bell-like and beautiful. I've been recording with them lately and am including a sample here.
