Just wanted to let everyone know that in my quest for a set of mallets that matches an old set I like from the 80's, Mike Balter is the man. I sent him a single mallet and Mike is making me a custom reproduction (for normal retail costs)
So if you have something you want specifically, call Mike he is the man.
One of the wildest performances on you tube, I think....

Playing an old classic from 1922 with Billy on clarinet, Mark on upright bass and myself on vibes taped during a session here at the house on 3/22/15. An enjoyable day having friends over to play, hang and have dinner. Special thanks to Gustavo Agatiello for overseeing the audio and videotaping.
Hey,
Patrice asked me to give him a hand with the post of his latest practice tape: enjoy! :o)

"Danny Boy" for St. Patrick's Day. The inspiration for this rendition came from pianists Bill Evans' and Keith Jarrett's beautiful versions.
Practicing some solo vibraphone today on another classic composition by Antonio Carlos Jobim. There are so many great compositions by Jobim. This one is "A Felicidade" which is a through-composed piece based upon six 8 measure sections.

I've been spinning records lately....(finally got my turntable fixed) and I pulled out a bunch of records that really were the first vibraphone I'd ever heard: Lofty Fake Anagram, Duster, Time Square, Alone at Last, the Keith Jarrett one too etc.
