"The first thing I do every morning is check out the site!"

Here's a clip from circa late 90s of a gig at a local jazz club featuring the late clarinetist Dick Johnson. Marshall Wood is on bass and Les Harris Jr. is on drums.

Marshall and Les can really lay down a beautiful and solid groove. I had the opportunity to play with Dick on many occasions (many times along with trumpeter Herb Pomeroy) and it was always special. I learned so much from Dick and Herb and feel very fortunate that I got to play with both of them. They are both sadly missed.

This Saturday we are going to stream a concert featuring Mike Pinto and Greg Osby. I'll also be warming you guys up with Diane Monroe. We'll have 2 sets.

I've been trying to do something like this for a long time. I'm hoping we can have more concerts in the future.

We'll each play a set starting at about 2:30 east coast, USA time. Diane and I will hit first.

I like the fact that this will be to duos with a bass players. Kind of interesting from 'our' perspective, huh? That is the perspective of playing vibes.

I got this one from James Walker. Oh man...

A simple trick on separating the hands while comping to add variety.

i recorded this some days ago on my reel to reel tape machine. i did not post it cause i thought it´s bad.listening to it today i don´t think it´s that bad.

One of my favorite etudes to practice. Based on the changes to Flamenco Sketches.

Another video from a recent gig with a great band i'm playing with.
