David sent this video over of him demonstrating to a student the idea of playing laid back. So now we get to check it out as well. It's a beautiful solo! I love his lines and his feel! -- Tony Miceli
This is not vibes, but man, it's amazing music!
Louis Winsberg is a great French guitarist. I met him as he worked with my vibist friend Norbert Lucarain, and I already talked on the site about him and his great contribution to the world music and jazz.
A few years ago, I was at a concert and I saw this incredible Saz duet with his pal Jean-Christophe Maillard... It never had been recorded... until now! And untill my friend Bernard found it!
The Quartet that I have been playing with for a few months now just decided to record a demo to give out to places so we can score some more gigs. We met up at a school in a choir room and mic'd up and ran through with minimal takes. Then the bass player ran it through logic. Pretty quick and dirty.
I decided that instead of posting all the recordings on here, I would just post my myspace page with all my stuff.
the group is:
Joe Doubleday- Vibes
Dr. Cory Gavito- Piano
Mike Boyle- Bass
Hal Corn- Drums
Hi Tony and everybody;
Actually, I don't have a lot of time to follow all new topic on the site, but I don't forget you!!
When I practice I record myself, so here is a video of "oléo" was record this week.
Advise, critical, all comments are welcome!
I think that I miss direction in my solo, too much "draft".
wrong notes and bad rhythm also in the thème sometimes... sorry! ^^

This is pretty funny, especially when they talk about jazz.
Pretty epic huh? I haven't listened to it for a long time. I installed Ubuntu on one of my PC's and set up last fm on it and have been listen to things I haven't heard in a long time.
Is that Freddie on trumpet? What a trumpet solo.
The cut I just listened to was Ella singing Mack the Knife. They have the wrong CD listed. Isn't this Live in Berlin? Where she forgets the words? Wow, who is the piano player on that? That is so swinging and then Ella does a Louie solo. OMFG.
I thought this was interesting and might get some talk going. Schoenberg is a tough one for me. Bartok, Shostakovitch and Stravinski I get, and I can hang with Schoenberg for a bit but not long!
Neighbor tones are ways to embellish melodies. A very natural musical thing. This does though take a little practice if you're not already familiar with them.
I just had a great lesson with my student/buddy from Ohio, Jon Letsky. It's great to do the online lessons because I can see what I post in action. He's practicing invitation and doing the quarter note solos, chord tone solos and playing the tune through the keys and he's kicking ass with it all.
It's not a requirement to post stuff, but affirmation, completion and closure are important. At least with private students I get to see the stuff in action. What I've learned is at these ways of learning tunes DO work. I've seen them happen way too many times for it to be anecdotal.
We've been working trying to solve the Explorer problem but the reality is that Explorer is a big problem on any site. If you look through any CSS or html book, you see these parts where they show how to do cool stuff with the programming languages and then they tell you if Explorer can do it and if there's a way how to hack it to work. This has been forever.
Nothing I can say about loyalty, if you're into Explorer then ok, but if you're open, get Firefox, check out the cool add ons and then have a much better experience on the Internet.
