Happy Birthday Tony - From Norbert - Monk Wishes

Hey Tony!
Happy 50th!
Congratulations for making it so far & keep going!
Thanks for this pool of great people & ideas, keep it going, too!
I was thinking much about what would be appropriate to post for such a special event.
What came to my mind finally was the long tradition amongst Austrian jazz musicians interpreting Thelonious Monk, because of the great potential they see in his compositions.
So I wrapped one for you!

Happy Birthday Tony - From BruceW

This video is in appreciation of a vibist who plays Monk exceptionally well and has dedicated part of his life to Monk. Although I fractured it badly, or should I say butchered, the intent is there to celebrate this man's (Tony) 50th birthday. Anyway I was rushed and didn't plan out very well what I was going to do. It should be noted that BIAB Real Tracks will not pedal bass on the head and also will not break the walking bass during the fours.

Have a happy day

BruceW

PAS Article July 2010 - The Healing by Ed Saindon

Hi everyone,

Here's an article which will be in the upcoming July issue of the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes. The article is titled "The Healing" and details the recording session of Depth of Emotion which featured saxist Dave Liebman, drummer Mark Walker, bassist David Clark and myself on vibes, marimba and piano. The article also discusses the compositional and improvisational aspects of my original composition The Healing.
