Special thanks to Ed Saindon for finding this treasure!... And to 'Jeff' for recording, saving, digitalizing and sharing it! Enjoy! :o)

Interesting (but not very deep) article by Herbie Hancock on Popeater -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/herbie-hancock/crowd-sourced-music-video-…

I thought I'd post this video of Harvey Price. He's the percussion director at U of Delaware. Besides being a great friend, I admire how much energy he has and how much of the percussion world he tackles! From Xylo, to the pit, to the marimba, to the vibes and then the drum set he's one of those amazingly well versed players. Also he's very forward thinking, digs technology and is a great guy!!

So check him out with the Udel Faculty ensemble.

I came across this Bill Evans clip yesterday and it made me think about the discussion of this tune a while back. I think it was on this site that someone said they thought this tune was best as a ballad, especially given the dark tone of the movie. But I actually feel that when a composition is being interpreted, it is fine to treat it purely as music and not worry about any of that. The whole point is to do something more personal with it.. This tune can be a beautiful ballad, but a lot of guys like to swing on it (check out the Frisell and Sco versions linked below as well).

I know there was a streaming of the concert from the Delaware workshop, but is it actually recorded that i could watch it somewhere?

Ok, stop, freeze. What's the last vibe cd you listened to???

For me it's Jim Hart's Narrada. Guys were talking about him in the shout box so I put him on while I was folding clothes. Great stuff! He's a great player.

Your turn.

Hey guys, I jus ran across a post by Tony called Think Like a Drummer. Great post that I think has varying views and open for discussion. I entered Berklee way back as a drummer (was a Buddy Rich fanatic) and was lucky enough to study with the great Alan Dawson. I saw Gary play with the Mike Gibbs big band at a school concert. Had never seen the vibes before. Gary did a short solo on Keith Jarrett's Grow Your Own and that was one of those "wow" moments for me. Took up vibes starting with a beginning mallet class with Gary. Talk about being fortunate.

Sorry to get all cheezy, but there are some players on this site doing cool stuff.
There are some really talented players here!

I'm amazed because I've seen some of these guys for almost 5 years now. I've seen the progress and what can happen if you just pick up the sticks and practice on the instrument.

I'm truly inspired tonight. Right on guys!
