All about the bars

Ok, guys after all you guys harrassing me about this here it finally is, my blog about Mike Mainieri...

Ok, so the first views of the master where at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam. A very nice jazzclub in Amsterdam. He was playing with a dutch trio led by Marnix Busstra(on Guitar) together with Eric van der Westen on Bass and Pieter Bast on Drums. A very good trio, which I had never seen before.
The concert was also the release of the cd they just recorded. They have recorded before in a more electrical setting, but this cd is just acoustic trio with Mike on Vibes.

Hey Everybody,

Marie has been hagging me to blog about the two times a have seen Mike Mainieri play in the last week. But I've been fed up with some really complicated personal stuff... Well actually that has been going on for a year now, but it's really complicated, but anyway the bottom line is I have to move soon and have to put a lot of time into our new house and also I have a pretty good gig coming up in a theater show that I'm preparing fo, some pretty advanced classical stuff(I'll post about that too in a while...)....

Trying to sort some stuff out, but I have some things in mind over the xmas break. I'm finished teaching at school (Univ of the Arts) and have a month off.

I'd like to get on line a lot over the month and hang out with subscribers. Maybe Piper and Saindon and Joe will join me for some? That's in the works. Just have to get my schedule together.

I've asked Patty Franceschy to do some lessons during these meet ups with the stevens grip.
I even asked Harvey Price who just wrote a book of Milt transcriptions to do some mini Milt lessons!

Hi everyone, feel free to check out my website if you get a chance. www.behngillecejazz.com I plan to add some more pics and stuff, but if anyone has any other suggestions, that would be great. Thanks.

Bah humbug!! You guys are in the holiday spirit! I'm not a holiday guy at all and I'm dreading my Friday gig. We'll be in some guys mansion and we'll be playing tunes and of course someone will want Christmas tunes. some of them are pretty and I like Oscar's version of them. I'll play those, but I'm so not a holiday guy, this week won't be fun for me.

I do like listening to some stuff. Choirs and again Oscar. His Xmas cd is really cool I think. I'm also checking out what you guys are posting and that's fun. I'm just not into playing them myself! Scrooge huh?

Pretty cool original composition by the vibist from Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble.

This tune (Birk's Works by Dizzy Gillespie) was posted on YouTube in June but originally video taped last year 2007.
