Some of you, friends, know I am a big Bobby Hutcherson fan...
so I'm excited about this upcoming show in
San Diego, on March 19th at 98 Bottles, with
Ian Harland (also vibes)
Joshua White (piano)
Doug Walker (bass)
Gerard Nolan (sax)
Duncan Moore (drums)

"A Tribute to Bobby Hutcherson"

Bobby wrote and recorded so
many great tunes, both during his fruitful Blue Note
days and also later, when he was out on the West Coast.
we are going to play as many of them
as we can squeeze into one evening!
Here are some of them:

Head Start
Cirrus
Black Circle
Montara

Hello Everyone,

I would love to have a photo or recording to post here as well, but I just wanted to tell a little story about my recent meeting with English vibraphonist, Nat Steele!

A lesson on some different ways to approach iii-vi-ii-v changes using second inversion triads chromatically. I should mention that some of this type of motion (going up specifically) creates triads over the bass note which may conflict with the basic iii-vi-ii-v chord types. Remember the strength of the passing motion is its motivic direction which leads to a resolution.

Hi All,
Here is the link to the piece I wrote about the Third World Vibes Congress last January. It's been published in Jersey Jazz and is now posted on All About Jazz. It features a photo of Behn.

Hi there,

I've translated "the 20 things you want to know without reading the manual" (malletKAT) into German.

Ich habe eine Malletkat Gebrauchsanweisung ins Deutsche Übersetzt. Ist vielleicht für alle hilfreich, die Marios Workshop in Wuppertal besuchen.
Ich übernehme keine Gewähr für die Richtigkeit aber eigentlich sollte alles stimmen.
Das englische Original findet ihr auf der Alternatemode Website.
