Hey David!
Someone started a NY Session Musicians group on Facebook, and this photo was posted. Thought I'd share it here. (Hugh McCracken is in like every photo!)

Hi guys ! As a player, I'm still pretty much shooting in the dark, in a hit-and-miss sort of way. Lately I've been busy ready Forward Motion, by Hal Galper, a book that I think will do something for me. It's pretty heavy stuff, like a PhD…
This was recorded three days ago with "Caz" Cazorla, the guitar player who works with me (still in the hope that we might land a gig someday). Caz comes down for an hour in his lunch break (he has a quick sandwich) and we usually have time…
I had written this post this morning with all my heart... I thougth it was a birthday message... but it was in fact a "Non-Birthday" message! Oops... Sorry JD...

I read something on V.W. about a Deagan for sale and it reminded me of a project I did years ago when I drew the Deagan (model 145) out on Auto Cad. I thought that since the Vibes Workshop is EVERYTHING vibraphone, I should add it to the…

I was talking with Joe tonight about Bobby. Joe played a cool lick on the phone and we were both playing vibes and he was talking about the lick. It was cool.
Then he brought up Kenny Garrett's 'Beyond the Wall' and Bobby's playing on it.…
I'm pretty sure I'm going to see Joe Locke Play at Dizzy's next Thursday (January, 28th?) and I thought I'd put it out there and see if a bunch of us want to go and do a vibe hang at Dizzy's.
Any interest???? Leave a comment if you are.
1) Musser One Niter Vibe - $1100.
The old model, uniform bars. Bars, resonators, pedal and frame show heavy use, but are okay, and sound good. New legs and cross-bar. Should be re-strung, new strings included. Motor is included, but has…
Raphael is going to be posting etudes on the site, one a month for subscribers. Here's the first one! He's putting it in Sibelius and as soon as it's done I'll get it on the site.
But check this etude out. This cat can play!!
I have not been playing much lately (which is not really making me happy)...but anyway, I grabbed a few minutes and was thinking about the Stride Blues stuff that Tony & Ed had done. So I propped up my iPhone, and made a little video…
Does anyone know where I can obtain a chart to "Tanguedia III" by Astor Piazzolla? The piece is on Tango: Zero Hour and Gary has recorded it on his Libertango CD. I've searched several online sheet music retailers with no luck, so if…
I happened upon this You Tube clip commemorating Victor Feldman's posthumous induction into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. A fitting tribute to a musical genius and icon who was removed from us too young.
Here's an etude written by Simon working on his left hand.
I think it's great that David has his students write etudes to work on the technique!!
Check out Simon's monster left hand.
Hey Philly vibe players i'll be playing at Chris's Tonight Jan 20 Wed. 8 and 9:30!

My new tune to study is Pent Up House. I'm checking out this Billy Pierce solo, mainly because I love how he moves between all the 'altered' tones. He plays these standards bebop ways of getting around the 3rd and 5th and uses them over…

This was being passed around by singers, they loved it for the harmony between the voices. Andy Williams and Connie Francis. They ARE right, this is really…
