I got this from Face Book through Andrew Nittoli...
Just thought some of you might like to comment on it... Ouch!...
Check out these cool Joe Locke Intros.
Go Paga!
Here's a Russian quartet performing a smoooking version of Paganini Caprice n°24 in St Petersburg. Man those guys can swiiinng!!
After a cool piano intro, you'll get around 1'45 to the heart of the tune with vibes on melody/solo. If I well remember we recently saw a performance of this vibist with 5 mallets!... Well I def. think he's more impressive with one 2!!
I hope "Paga" doesn't mind too much for this little 'variation' of style on his piece ;o)
Man I dig it! :o)
Enjoy!

I laughed when I heard vibraman mention Franz's name (Franz is a new subscriber). He said, 'Man I thought I knew all the great players in Germany'.
There's a message here I think worth mentioning. Man be humble. You just never know who's sitting in the audience, or who's around the corner from you.
I had Mike Gordon over the house today. I didn't know much at all about Phish. But man some people worship this group huh??? He shot some video for our hand drum site. Any fans? I'll also put some on face book.
I was supposed to go to the concert tonight, but i got sick.
This is pretty amazing. Check out the chime solo in the middle. Man Rollini was a monster.
I played a happy hour duo gig back in January. A friend captured this video and, even though its not my shiniest moment, I thought I would go ahead and post it for fun.
My friend Paul Metzger is playing with me.
Hello Vibes Workshop !
I was doing a gig yesterday with some students from a "conservatoire" in Paris, we were playing at the auditorium of the conservatoire...
We played some pop songs. I played marimba. (BTW I have to get the vibes player on the site)
Here is an excerpt "I wish", from Stevie Wonder.
Enjoy !

Guys,
I just came across this smoookin' vid and felt like sharing it: Henry Hey is a great musician that I knew more as an amazing "soft pianist". He was notably in Joe Locke's two first albums with voice.
But man... this is another something else! And the four of them are... wow!! How would say Tony "playing their asses off"! Oh man! What would the Inquisitor think about it! ;o)
Anyway, I love to hear them all (that electro/sax is amazing!), and watch them having so much fun!
A lesson in itself, no?
Enjoy!

Jeez, I quit. Look at this guys gig. This is totally depressing. He sticks a leaf in his pocket and is off on tour.
