Hello to everyone:

Check it out this video where I accompanied one of my students during a lecture to promote in Spain the “IV Workshop de Improvisación e Vibráfono” and the “European Vibraphone-Festival & Workshop 2016". When one my students (called Sergio, 14 years old) watched the duet of David Frideman and Tony Miceli playing "Samba de Orfeo" and he did not stop to ask me if he could prepare, so, this is part of the performance recorded by the audience.

This is a piece from a french guitarist named Thierry Lujan. Saudade in brazilian means Nostalgia. I try again and again to be correct with time feel in soloing. If it's work in soloing, much easier with the band this will be.( Man .... ! I speak like Yoda now ! I can't wait the release of Star Wars 7 )

Had some fun yesterday in the home studio playing the classic "On the Sunnyside of the Street" on marimba and hi hats.

Still working on time feel. It's coming. If you can snap it, I can play it !

Not everyone does the holiday music thing, but this is not your average Jingle Bells....great arrangement by Kim Pensyl for his album Early Snowfall we recorded last summer with homage to Miles's TuTu album. Kim Pensyl-piano, Rusty Burge-vibes, Rick VanMatre-flute, Mike Sharfe-bass and John Taylor-drums.

At home today playing the Gershwin classic "Someone To Watch Over Me" with a steady left hand groove along with some right hand octaves. Inspired from the great pianists that excel in this style including masters like Art Tatum, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, Errol Garner, George Shearing, Dave McKenna and Teddy Wilson.

Hi All,
December's show is this coming Sunday, Dec 6, usual time, 8-10p eastern. This month's "Three By..." is dedicated to Dave Pike, who we lost in October. I'll play "Cheryl," "Anticipation" and my very favorite, a tune by guitarist Volker Kriegel, "Vian-De." If you have not heard this delicate piece, by all means listen to the show. It tugs at heartstrings.

Hi folks,
Wanted to share a new video fresh of the press of my electric trio with Ari Hoenig and Massimo Biolcati. Love playing with these guys and it was nice to finally go into the studio and get some footage. Please comment, share, and join my Youtube channel if you dig it.
Thanks for watching,
-Tyler

This is a spontaneous version of "Falling Grace" with the wonderful singer, Michael Schiefel.
