So tell me how you found the vibraphone?
Here's my abridged version.
I played classical guitar growing up and was very serious about it. I also played drums and then picked up piano as a teen.
I almost went to school for piano, but some…
This is a nice and cool version of my bossa-ballad "Calm Down" (recorded "live in Berlin", 2006), played by the musical fellows and friends of my brazilian jazz group BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE from NYC.

Guys,
I've been given this link by my guitarist friend Bernard after I shared the recent Clark Terry vid... This French band is too good!! FYI, on xylphone vibist Jean-Miche Davis. (pass it on! :o)

I'm here working on some forms I have to fill out and have Pandora playing a John Adams Station I made. All of sudden this marimba comes on and it's beautiful and articulate and stops me dead in my tracks. It's Evelyn Glennie and I just go…
Hello everyone, Just wanted to let you know about the upcoming Percussion Festival at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The festival will start on Monday, June 21st and end on Friday, June 25th. There are several tracks that we will have…
We will get together in the morning at about 9:30 until 12, then about 1 until 3 or 4.

We'll have a bass player I think every day.

I posted about transcribing some MJQ and hearing mistakes in the recording and feeling a little funny about it. This is one of my favorite groups, but I was complaining a little bit!
My punishment was that the video - 'Modern Jazz Quartet…

So I'm transcribing some MJQ. I remember (I think) Gary Burton talked about them not being good readers. Ok. I'm taking down the tune 'Don't Stop This Train'. It's a sort of fugue. Well I've found 2 mistakes and I think they cut out a John…
I've been emailing with magicescalator and talking with him. We were talking about how he came to the instrument and more. So I thought we'd do a Who Is so you guys could meet him.
magicescalator, just add a new comment here and tell about…
I gave a lesson earlier today to my student Chris (who just joined the website!) on reading out of the Omni book. One of the things I was trying to get him to do was to keep going no matter what happens.
Tony's post on Chi Chi got me…
I've been working on this tune for a couple days. Last night I had a chance to play it on a gig. I decided to go ahead to record and then post it to see what kind of feedback y'all might send my direction. I hope you all dig it!
Here's a very very quick lesson. Just winding up the night here. Was practicing for a while working out some stuff.
The point of this lesson: Don't think twice about figuring out ways to start a solo, or some things you might try and play…
