Amazing. Everyone on this site needs a copy in my opinion.

Originally scheduled for release next Tuesday, this was apparently release a couple weeks ago. It is Bobby Hutcherson with his regular working band recording tunes written by or associated with John Coltrane. The session was done direct to two track.

Oh jeez!!

Sorry Ed, I can't wait for you to feel like posting this new vid: it's truly amazing!

That version of the tune is incredible! Awesome! I love it... Words are missing. It's so far from the original, and yet so close! Wow!

Enjoy guys!

Here's another clip from the same concert that my previous post "Pure Spirit" was taken from.

The lineup is Dave Liebman - tenor, Matt Wilson - drums, David Clark - bass and me on vibes. We're performing an original of mine called The Healing. The concert took place on February 2nd, 09 at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH.

The Healing lead sheet can be downloaded from my website here: http://www.edsaindon.com/originalcompositions.htm

I was asked to play a few numbers with one of our big bands at University of the Arts. They said they have one of the school arrangers arrange something for me and I said. Karn Evil 9. And they said, what did you say? But I convinced them to do it.

I love this arrangement and I think they are going to write 4 or 5 more charts for me! So then my next problem is to come with with 10 grand so I can make a CD out of the material!

YEAH!!! I love playing Rock Tunes.

Hey everyone,

It has been quite a while since I've posted a post of my own... so here we go. This is another of my original tunes that we played at our latest concert at Berklee. It's inspired by the beautiful Swiss town of Montreux.

There are a few rough spots here and there, but that is some of what makes it fun to play in a group.

Hello fellow vibists,

I’ll be in Chicago on Friday, October 23rd for a clinic at DePaul University at 10 A.M. If anyone is in the Chicago area and would like more information, please email me at esaindon@berklee.edu

Best,

Ed

Someone mentioned a Guitorgan and I started poking around.

Check this out. The last part after the panel stops with the questions is interesting.

I spent part of tonight playing Bird's first chorus on the tune Merry Go Round which is a rhythm changes with a Sears and Roebuck Bridge. S and R Bridge is (key of Bb) F-7 Bb7 Eb Eb C7 C7 C-7 F7. That's what Larry Mckenna always calls it and said that was the name. I dig that name.

Every once in a while I blog about what's happening deep inside of the site. I know there are a lot of members out there that are working hard, some don't live near teachers, or other players. I want them to know how much is going on here.

If you go to 'Recent Activity' you'll probably see all the posts and comments. A lot of this stuff is learning, critiquing and studying. We've really made a community of vibe players on the inside that is growing and is helping many players become better vibe players.

Finding time to listen to cds is pretty rough any more. Tonight though I'm trying to get in a couple cuts of some buddies cds. One of which is James Shipps cd.

I think you guys would dig it. I guess it's all or mostly Irish tunes? Jim's a great percussionist and vibe player and his girlfriend, Jo Lawry is a heavy singer.

Just wanted to post a couple sentences about the cd.
