This is funny. Duet by Chick Corea and Gary Burton. But both playing on one vibraphone!!

I live in Amsterdam and living in Amsterdam means that you can't really practice at home. At least not where I practice and especially not if you also play drums and live with your girlfriend who doesn't have a dayjob like me(musician).

Famed Philadelphia Jazz Saxophone legend LARRY MCKENNA will conduct an online Masterclass Oct. 29th at 7:00 PM EST at www.larrysimprovpage.com

The class is based on jazz improvisation but applicable to all styles of music and highly recommended by ALL of www.vibesworkshop.com faculty members.

The workshop will take place at www.larrysimprovpage.com

I can't resist posting you this vid of Ed Saindon in duet and trio!
Shame on me, I don't know that much of his musical recordings, but I truly dig this performance!
And with a special "best of" for me with the third sample, around 4"44: there's so much fun and mischeviousness in that one: they look like kids! :o) I love it!

I really like this because this young teenager totally has the bebop stuff down. Really cool!

This is a clip from the 1960's featuring Canadian jazz musician Don Thompson on vibes. Don is a quadruple threat on vibes, piano, bass and drums and plays them all with virtuosic aplomb. He started out as a bassist with the John Handy Quartet in San Francisco, though he was a professional by age 20. He did a long tenure with Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass, first as a percussionist, then as a bassist and finally as a pianist.

Tony asked me to write a little about my book,”Vibraphone Technique, dampening and pedaling“; how it came about, what motivated me to write it, etc.

More by "kanazoé". I love this guy. and there's such a study in his playing. Has anyone adapted it to the marimba or vibes? I mean really adapted it.

This guy is a monster.

Can I ask you guys a favor? Could you go into itunes and then go to the store, search for 'Percussion Geeks'. Then just write a glowing review of the video podcast.

I would REALLY appreciate it. Even subscribe to it if you can. It will help with things over there.

thanks

I mentioned something about swiss drummers in another post and thought I would post this. This is pretty amazing to see. It's called basel drums, and they play with these realy thick sticks and most off the rolls they do are not using rebound, but strength. They play every note! I had a lesson in school from one of these drummers, amazing!
