I've uploaded the Livestream video of the OGD Vibe Quartet from last Friday to YouTube. Enjoy!
Steve Esposito is the 'O' (organ).
Mike Caruso is the 'G' (guitar).
Joe Lis is the 'D' (drums).
And I'm the vibe :-).

I can't get over how great this year's Delaware Vibes Workshop was. Tony and Harvey set up a wonderful program, complete with great lessons, guest clinicians, and performances. This was my third summer at the workshop, and although I missed having David Friedman this year, it was wonderful having Dave Samuels (one of my favorite artists when I was in school), Behn Gillece and Christos Rafalides share their expertise, techniques. and stories. I enjoyed all of the lessons, and I feel that my playing has once again taken off.

I'm going to try another Livestream of my gig tonight with the OGD Vibe Quartet from 8:00 to about 10:00 PM EDT. Go to http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1758489/events/2347239.
We play a mix of guitarist Mike Caruso's originals and arrangements of classic rock tunes, plus some jazz standards. If you're in the area, we're playing at the Java Room in Chelmsford, MA (http://thejavaroom.com/).
Hi all,
Hope everyone had a good summer. I was on sabbatical from the University of Cincinnati last semester and finished a vibraphone method book. It focuses on building technique and creating ideas for improvisation. If anyone is interested there is a link below.
Best,

Peace, our TOTM, is totally opaque tunewise to my brain. So I'm trying something with a strong tune line, and easy to play. Armando's Rhumba, with PDF of the leadsheet, MP3 of piano accompanyment and marimba/piano duet posted (or linked to) at Ted Wolff's lessons at the VibesWorkshop site. Carolyn Stoddard and Eric Katz's performances at the Delaware Workshop have given me the idea to work on Latin beats. I can set up a metronome beat to simulate bongos and slow it down to work on improv lines. I really need a strong tune line, or my improv just falls apart.
The two masters on the same scene ! Enjoy
this was my task for the holidays...we rehearsed almost 2 weeks together to play that funny country melody at speed. endless times very very slow. still some mistakes there but i´m fine with that. now i got holidays...
hope you like it!

Joe Doubleday posted this on Facebook -- amazing!
Wouldn't it be nice to have a vibraphone that had a low octave and a half of marimba bars?
Don't know anything about this marimbist -- Johan Bridged.

Does anyone know who plays vibes on this track? It's "Flamingo" by Earl Bostic.
