WARNING: this is no jazz, no lovely and wise vibes melody. :o)

I got this from Emilie. Vibist David Neerman is a friend of Illya Amar. For those who followed, you will find back something of the Nguen Le's style. David explores the vibes in a special way, a bit like Norbert Lucarain (all three being to me 'French bad boys'! ha!), using distortion among other tools. But he's also working in an original duet with balafonist Lansiné Kouyaté (awesome huh?).

No loud talking, everybody paying attention. No clinking glasses. I WANT this gig -- jazz for cows

Thanks to Nicofarr for posting his video of his new VanderPlas Baelio. I posted a comment with his audio jam and that comment has helped me a ton. I told him to use the pedal more and get more ringing. So I put my stuff out there and kept thinking about it. I started listening to Gary Burton last night and checking him out playing solo. I thought man, that's why he's the cat. Look at how he blends the ringing with the melody. He's got control of that instrument. Ed's another cat who has tamed the vibraphone!

Impressive; both the music and video production. Apparently this is his own arrangement.

Didn't do SH** today. And that pisses me off big time. Any other pros get pissed at how much BS we have to do. I'm a struggling musician that still has to do 1-3 hours of office work every frickin' day. Add to it, running the site, teaching and buying my son dinner because he's broke and some days I want to kick and punch something or preferably someone... anyone.

So today I hate being a vibes player.

Oh man... This vid was posted on our friend Moritz' FB profile... no comment...
If you don't like the metal sound at the start, just wait till 2'44... and enjoy! ;-)

Jeez... this is sooo beautiful! Pure Gem! Bravissimo ragazzi!!!

It seems to me that 9/11 had a profound effect on the music business. I've never heard that talked about. As I remember it was after 9/11 that all the New York gigs fell apart. No one was going outside. All the clubs started doing the door for musicians. I heard of one club where you had to tell the guy at the door you were here to see the band or the money would not go to the band!!
