New release from Advance Music: Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation - Ed Saindon

German publisher Advance Music just released a follow up book to my previous release Rhythmic Exploration in Improvisation. The new book is titled Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation.

While the primary focus of Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation is on polyrhythms, the book also covers other additional important rhythms that are useful for the improviser. Extensive syncopated rhythmic figures (via the use of rests, dotted notes and ties), mixed rhythmic figures and partial subdivision are also covered which are beneficial to today’s improviser.

Borrowing or Renting Vibraphone in NY

Hey guys,

The Ralph Peterson Sextet/Fo'tet is playing the CD Release for "The Duality Perspective", at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, in NY this Monday at 7:30pm and I am in need of a vibraphone. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to lend me a vibraphone for this gig. I can arrange for pick up and drop off of the instrument, comp tickets, and possible compensation.

Also if anyone could email or post where you can rent vibraphones from in NY. I heard there are a couple of places but I forget the name.
