Thank you to Tony and thank you to everybody who makes this site what it is!

Hello everyone,

Here is a video of a piece that I directed last semester. It's one of the great pieces for String Quartet, you can see the magic of it at 3:40.

Hope you like!

Here's a clip from a Tuesday Jam session I have been participating in lately.

Shelley Carrol - sax
Bobby Sparks - organ

Guys, here's another clip from that old 1984 footage I ran across. This is a clip of an original of mine called A Fine Line. You can check out and download the lead sheet here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/82431551/A-Fine-Line-by-Ed-Saindon

If I had to pick one thing I like about vibesworkshop.com it would have to be the pure amount of STUFF they have on the website!

I've been actually having a lot of fun, playing with metronome and really thinking hard about rhythm and how certain rhythms should sound. Sometimes I'll play a phrase of a tune or something I just played over and over, just listening to it against the metronome on 2 and 4. It's really fascinating to me how certain rhythms lay against the 2 and the 4.

I'm thinking about doing the same things against other things such as a clave (just got a clave app for my iphone) and bossa rhythms etc.

Anyone else thinking along these lines?

We're having a non internet vibe hang at my house this Saturday. If you're interested in coming let me know. We'll chip in for pizza and I have a bass player coming, so we'll jam and talk about vibes.

Don't laugh guys, this is an old clip. I was recently was going through some old VHS tapes and ran across this footage from 1984. With me on vibes is Greg (Iggy) Mooter on electric bass. We were playing some tunes and doing an interview back then for a local TV station. Actually, I think the facial hair and hair style is very funny. OK, you can laugh.
