Interesting and cool cd!
Thanks to John Keene for turning me on to this.

Something cool and interesting about Walt. I'm having an email discussion with VW member John Keene and we are talking about a few different vibe players.
I listen to there lines and listen to how clear they are. Right? What's the sound? Are they playing the sound. I listen for that. Probably because I'm worried about it when I play. Am I listening to the band? Am I capturing the sound.
The "vinyl" I had of double Image was worn out in a week! Beautiful music!
Clip of "All The Things You Are" with Tim Ray on piano and myself on vibes. This was from a concert last week at the Sahara Club in Methuen, MA. They have a jazz series named Jocko's Jazz that has been going on every Tuesday night for many years. Great appreciation to Jocko Arcidiacono for supporting jazz and jazz musicians for so many years in this area. Thanks also to Jocko's wife Anne and to Dick for taping the proceedings. Such a great audience. They listen and really appreciate the music. Lastly, thanks to the great pianist Tim Ray. It was such a treat for me.
Gong was a cool band that at one point had a couple mallet players in the band. Great stuff!
I knew the guitar player here. I talked about knowing someone from Gong in another post, but I couldn't remember who. They were playing in Marlton, NJ and then I remember the guitar player lived in Moorestown, very close by.
This is cool. The vibes seem not to be micd? maybe from underneath. but you can really hear him! pretty cool.
HE IS IN FRONT OF THE BAND AND THE AMPS!!!!
btw - John Keene found this for me! John is our vibes workshop historian. he knows a TON about the history of all this!
