Tony you're in trouble!
I finally found the stick drop master of all times...
Don't worry this beautiful performance only lasts 50 secondes... But watch that terrific SD!! I was totally hooked! ;o)

Check out Franz Bauer. Pretty cool stuff, huh?
Tell us Toddc? Record producer? Drummer? Vibe player?
I'll just pass this letter along for the real vibe geeks!
This guy called Nico got information and then went to a machine shop to get the work done on his yamaha!!!

Tony, Thanks you for introducing Nico Vanderplas to me after telling him about my Yamaha YV2700 keybed problems with the sounds of the last seven bars in the high register.
I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to recommend the DVD of Gary and Makoto Ozone's Live at Montreux DVD from the 2002 performance. I was just websurfing last week at Amazon and discovered this, and I didn't even know that it was available. As much as I like the CD, the DVD adds that "third player" - the audience, and I think you'll enjoy this even more.
This is the quintessential recording of this tune. Maybe some of the younger guys haven't heard it??
Stop, sit and lesson.
If you didn't know this it makes the tune even heavier.
Billy Strayhorn wrote this tune at age 17 (if my research is correct, i.e. his biography). Listen to the words.
Is this one of the most heaviest songs or what? I get chills listening to it.
And then add Johnny Hartman and Coltrane and this is off the map.
This workshop will take place in the great campus of University of Delaware. Students will have their own practice room and instrument. At the same time as our workshop Bob Becker from Nexus will be giving a workshop on ragtime playing on the xylophone. This will be a lot of fun!
The best students are the ones who teach themselves and as a result have lots and lots of questions for their teachers..
When I teach a class and we do nothing that I had prepared, then it was a great class usually.
For some reason that just hit me. I forget who told me that but someone great did, way back in the day.
Rather than bury back in my mind, I thought I would type out here.
What's your favorite cd(s) where the format is a vibes trio, that is Vibes, Bass and Drums?
Mike Pinto had this up over at our store! Have you checked out our store??
