Dedicated To You - Solo

I've always loved this tune from the Coltrane and Johnny Hartman album. Joe Locke also has a great version on his first "Blues and Ballads" CD. I got to play it on a gig recently with a sax player. I had a job interview this morning and I was already dressed up, so I thought I would shoot a quick and dirty (but clean clothes!) video of a quick performance.

Ladies Vibe

Here's my new vibraphone frame, designed especially for maximum weight reduction with maximum setup comfort. Because I cannot imagine that many women (or men with back problems) like to transport vibraphones to sessions or concerts, I have named this frame as "Ladies Vibe".
The entire frame weighs 11.4 kg (26 lb) and the resonance tubes made of plastic together weigh another 7.1 kg (15.7 lb).
Maybe I should still create a bag in Gucci- design? :)

A Website With All the Grips

Have you guys seen this site?

All the grips are on there! It's pretty cool.

What is your favorite grip and most importantly if you didn't use the grip you use, what grip would you use next (can't be the same one :-).

My grip is on there and credited to Gordon Stout. I think Gordon uses one grip in his left hand and one in his right hand?
