I'm working on a travel grant application (through the Canada Council for the Arts), so that I can attend the Delaware workshop this summer. The application required three recent recordings, so it was a great opportunity to get into the studio and put something together, which I have been meaning to do for a while since I started playing vibes. I'm a student at the University of Arizona, and there is a studio in the music building, which worked out well. The three tunes are "How Deep is the Ocean?", "Darn that Dream", and "Kind Folk".

Quality entertainment ! Music starts at 3:00

Hi All,
This June marks the beginning of the fifth year of Good Vibes. Hard to believe. I'll be playing a set of three Milt Jackson recordings, and continue to explore newer CDs: Red Norvo's Four Classic Albums, Steve Shapiro's Low Standards, Hendrik Meurkens Mundell's Moods with Chuck Redd on drums and Dave Stryker's new Eight Track with Stefon Harris on vibes. I'll be playing some classics and some new compositions, Vigorous Vibes and Organic Vibes. Come listen.

Yesterday I went to see them play in my hometown.

Jef is Belgiums most famous jazzpianist
And most of you know Pascal

With that saying, allmost everyone in the audience came because it was a concert from Jef Neve. When I entered the venue, I apparently sat next to Leo. Now you got to know Leo. Leo is the man behind Mechelen's Jazzzolder (Jazzattic) A small jazz club. My friends and I laugh about it, saying : "if you want to accomplish anything with Jazz in Mechelen, you'll have to pass Leo.He's Mechelens Jazz godfather."

Guys, I just put up some clips on SoundCloud. The clips are from a recent gig with bassist Mark Carlsen. We do a lot of playing together at various Asian restaurants which is great. It keeps us playing. We always have fun playing and the hang is great. Family, friends and students usually come out for the night. We play a few sets and then sit down for some very good food. Anyways, here is a clip of Easy Living. Gustavo taped this and the recorder was a little close to the table but I think you can make out what we're playing.
