'Andrea's Piece' for Solo Vibraphone was composed in April 2025 by Franz Bauer.
Great set with Red Norvo. Check out how far he chokes up on the mallets!
I know this is up on the site, but why not put it up again since it's Mainieri!!
He's playing solo 3 days after 9/11 because the rest of his band couldn't fly. Good for us!
This vid is very cool.
This CD is a true work of art. Mike with all his experience behind him, plays the most beautiful solos and chords ever. For me in a way he is the absolute greatest vibraphone play ever.
Here are some other reasons to listen.
So.....
Someone (not me) submitted this recording of David and I playing at PASIC in 2018 as a favorite cd (but it's not a CD). While it's not a traditional CD, it's a full-length performance, and I'm featured on it. I initially felt a bit awkward highlighting my own work, but I believe there's a valuable learning opportunity here.
What do you guys think of this CD? Like it? Hate it? In the middle?
Just a rough video I made playing with French bassist Antoine Brochot during a summer workshop I do in France.
I think Bernard Maseli is the best electronic mallet player out there and by leaps and bounds! He's a monster!
I performed this with Maxence Daurait who is a great percussionist from France now studying at the Curtis Institute of Music. This was an incredible night of music put together by Don Liuzzi. He is the timpanist for the Philly Orchestra and a great percussionist and drummer!
