News from Philippe Briand

Guys,

I just got a mail today from Philippe Briand. For those who don't know him yet "Philippe" is a first hour subscriber and among our dear "young veterans". After decades of great jazz drum playing with the greatest, he started vibes over his 40's but has worked hard on it and become a fine player, member, and friend from my side.

Melodic Tonic and Harmonic Tonic

Went to a Stefon Harris Masterclass at Temple University tonight. Stefon is a very inspiring cat! I love his playing and his vibe. He has a lot of soul. I admire guys who might think with their head but they play with their heart, and that's Stefon.

He talked about Melodic and Harmonic Tonics. Who knows what they are?

I never used these words but have done things along these lines. However Stefon gave me a lot more ideas and a new to think about this.

Before I go into it, what do you guys know about it?
