Un video interesante con marimba y theramin. Un theramin se utilizó en el tema de Star Trek original. Pongo una foto de un músico theramin tambien.
Man, there are so many of us here now. I keep think of ways for us all to work and grow together.
So here's my pitch: The Summer of 2010 will be 'The Summer of Vibes'. Let's play for each other this summer. Let's play little concerts for each other pros and amateurs!
To me a concert has a few things to it. It usually has some talking or announcing and has more than one tune.
So let's say that if you post a recording where you are talking about the piece and it's more than one piece that it's a concert.
This is my attempt at the tune Spain there are a few mistakes here and there I have played it better but here it is anyway, all comments welcome, I am working on a solo as well.
Cheers John
I want to acknowledge the life of a teacher and friend who passed away suddenly at the age of 61 last week Saturday May 8, 2010.
I started takeing drum lessons from Terry when I was 7 yrs. old. I continued with him until I was 15 yrs old and had a friendship with him through out my life. Terry was an excellent teacher, always encouraging, supportive and gave me a good reality check a couple of times when I needed it. He was never demeaning, just a regular guy, and a very nice and caring one at that.
Hey Guys,
As I've been away most of the time lately I thought I'd give an update on what I'm busy with, and that's the reason that I'm not online much.
So I had two really great gigs last couple of weeks. One was with a trio(vb-bs-git). A great bass anf guitar player from amsterdam. We had a real nice gig and I did record some stuff. But it needs some editing, so I'll post that when I have time.
Guys,
As you know Tony is out for the week end... But it doesn't mean it's holidays!
So what are you doing here reading this stupid message: go and check all the lessons, posts, vids, audios, get back to your mallets and go practice!!
The boss will be back soon, expecting tons of posts and comments around!! And by the way, I'm watching over you!! So mind your steps!!

My folks heard "Estate" on the radio and thought that I would like to learn it.
I never heard this tune before.
Found this lead sheet:

After I recorded this I found that it is in The Real Book Volume II. The chords are slightly different than what I played.
I decided to keep it simple, with octave melody, and not too much comping since there is already background.
Vibist Jon Letsky has done a great job in updating my website. Some of the features now include a Recent News section, Recordings section (including the entire concert with Dave Liebman in which the downloads are free) and a Video section which includes all of my YouTube videos.
