Another memorable day for a memorable guy, Lionel Hampton who's birthday occurs today. What an amazing guy, he put the vibraphone on the map.

This is another tune of the concert by Luis played in a São Luiz Jazz Festival in Lisboa the last 1st of April with a combo of the school where I'm studying.

The sound and image of the video is not so good, but well, this was a concert. I'm behind the blonde head...

Hi everyone, here's a clip from a recent concert performing my composition Hope. The lead sheet can be downloaded from my website. Here's the link: http://www.edsaindon.com/documents/hope.pdf
Hi Everyone,
Good Vibes enters its THIRD YEAR with the May 6th (and 9th) program.
These are all favorites from the past year, although as I will say in the show itself, it is always a challenge to cull the playlist down to ONLY 20 tunes. Tony's "Blue Skies" with vocalist Libby McDowell gets a replay, as does Joe Locke's "The English Patient," David Friedman's "Los Them," Behn's "The Dog Days," and 16 more.
It's been a great, fun two years. Thank you to all of you for support.

Vic Firth just finished editing this clip. The playing was taped at Berklee in one of the percussion department studios and the interview was taped at the VF office. The tunes that I'm playing in the clip are Black Orpheus and Somewhere Over the Rainbow on vibes and Ain't Misbehavin' and St. Thomas on marimba.
