Hi All,
Want to know what is happening in October on Good Vibes radio? Of 19 tunes only four are standards. Three are reharmonizations of Lennon/McCartney and Stevie Wonder. The remaining 12 are newer contemporary compositions (eight of those were written by the performing musicians).
When I hear people say that good jazz is no longer being written, I ask them to please listen to my show. And when I hear people wondering about "where jazz is going," I tell them the same.

Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since I visited the site. SHAME ON ME ! I know.

I thought I would come back out of Holiday end of July, and then continue to work on playing, and I started on doing so, but I just couldn't keep up.

As of Yesterday I have a new job ! Last week I still was a productionplanner in a assembly factory, as of this week I'm a teacher.
I teach sound and lightning technics in my hometown's highschool.(In my previous life I was a technician in theater)

This was taken from the concert announcement. The Premiere is on Sept. 8th in Linz, Austria.

Performed by Bruckner Orchester Linz / Dennis Russell Davies

I saw that Tony and Behn selected Summertime and Wave for TOTM. Both great songs. Here's a clip that I made in my studio with good friend and bassist Mark Carlsen. I love anything written by Carlos Jobim. There are so many great compositions that he has written. I'm using some different scales (including symmetrical diminished) on some of the changes here as well as some techniques using upper structure triads and triad pairs.

Hey guys, this is a clip that was just featured on the Vic Firth YT channel. The footage is from a concert that took place in Boston this past July as part of the Berklee Percussion Festival. The channel will be adding more clips from the concert over the next few weeks. This clip features my composition "The Healing" (which can be downloaded from my website). The band includes: Matt Marvuglio on flute, Marco Pignataro on tenor, David Clark on bass and Ron Savage on drums.

I was playing with Celine Bonacina (the sax player) Sextet: "Réunion"
I had some great fun using the Kat as Fender Rhodes and Balafon...

Hey vibes peoples:

Here's a little trio jam I did a while back on my Malletkat Rig. Tune is entitled "Baby Smacker"
