Brubeck Alert: Tonight on TCM

For US members, tonight will be the second broadcast of the fantastic 2010 Dave Brubeck documentary Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way from 8:00-9:30 on Turner Classic Movies. It has only been broadcast one time on Dave's 90th birthday, and is not available on DVD. Executive produced and hosted by Clint Eastwood, it will definitely "make your day."

I'm amazed that this has not been released commercially, and hopefully it will come out soon so non-US members can have an opportunity to view it.

Ruminations by James Whiting

Guys, as you may know James Whiting is our main Australian vibist and at hardly 20 he just released a beautiful and deep album of his own compositions (btw, Joe Locke wrote a very nice introduction on it): http://www.jameswhiting.com.au/albums-burbank/

But here are two new links from his recent gig... both being covers:

Wolfgang Schlueter

Hello,

today I would like to present one of the most underrated german/european vibes player: WOLFGANG SCHLUETER!

I took some clips of him on his latest concert. The clips have been recorded May 27th, 2011 at Birdland Jazzclub in Hamburg. WOLFGANG SCHLUETER is 78 years old (!) at that time and beside this he is nearly blind!!! But he does not care about both and is still playing UNBELIEVABLE!
