Let's back up a couple days. I saw Burton play, the music was great. Gary was talking about how it was new music and making jokes about maybe making mistakes. Well if they did, it didn't matter. These are serious and heavy pros. I know what went on behind the scene to make this first night work, however I assumed Scott Colley, and Antonio and Julian came in with the music down. But I could be wrong. Although it sounded like they had it down.
Triste is one of my favorite Jobim tunes. It's nice to see the reactions from Thomas and Billy in these vids since I don't see their faces when I'm playing. I was laughing at their reaction at the beginning of my solo. I'm playing a blues type lick over the first 8 bars of the solo. It looks like their saying, "what is he playing?, is he lost? etc. Then they have a sigh of relief at bar 9 when I resolve the motive to the C-7 chord.
Hey guys,
Here's another clip from our hotel gig. We're playing "It Could Happen to You" in Eb, although it's played quite often in G. One of my favorite versions is from Keith Jarrett who plays it in G. Sorry about the crowd noise. We're playing in the lobby of the hotel where people are coming and going.

Hello everyone, I'm playing vibes tomorrow night (Friday, 10/22) with Billy Novick - clarinet and Thomas Hebb - bass from 5-7:30 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel in downtown Boston. The trio has been there 5 nights a week since September. Gustavo and I have been sharing the gig with Billy and Thomas. It's been a nice run. Here's a videoclip of the trio playing the standard I'm Old Fashioned (taped in September at the Park Plaza Hotel). We'll be uploading a total of 10 clips (from 9/16 at the hotel) to my YouTube Channel.
Hi All- Wondering if anyone can make a suggestion about makes and models of soft to med. soft marimba mallets worth buying. I've got a marimba now, and I have a student I'm working on with a rolling piece, and my always-sound-great-on-the-vibes Mike Balter Arthur Lipner mediums are not the right thing. I prefer rattan handles and don't like them too ridiculously long; beyond that, please suggest away, thanks. (And if what I really want IS long, birch-handled mallets, please tell me so, and why.)
I'm at the 'Black Academy of Arts and Letters' in Dallas, Friday and Sat. Now come on, Texas is a small state so I hope to see everybody there!
I'm playing with Diane Monroe
