Well, I will have to give some sort of short workshop at the WVC (World Vibes Congress) this year. I was going to take notes and keep a diary on my computer and thought I would do it here. So I'll blog here and you guys can give me your two cents.
On Saturday we will link to all the videos for the second portion of the Day of Percussion on this page. Some players are playing live from 12-2. Others are submitting video which i will link to here.

Questions? Thoughts? What did you think? Let's talk about his book, here.
I have some things to say but I'll wait. How about some of you start. Gary will check in to answer questions and comment (I'm pretty sure).
Here is Behn's Beginner Course.
This is a very cool piece that Chick Corea wrote for Gary Burton and pianist Karill Gerstein a pianist.
Here's the email from Gary talking about his recording:
In Pt. 8, you’ll play through the entire form of Antônio Carlos Jobim’s Wave, applying developed comping ideas across all sections. The lesson focuses on maintaining time, dynamic control, and feel throughout the tune—especially as the bridge opens up and invites a more legato approach.
What do you guys think? This is what I think and how i approach all this for better or worse!!!!
I mention the Gary Burton Coffee Hang in this lesson. Here's the link to it.

Here's my version of Waltz New - a contrafact of Someday My Prince Will Come
I am on the cd label Steeplechase now and I have become buddies with the owner.
We are having amazing talks about his recordings that go back to 1972. Lately it's been of Walt Dickerson. He sent me this picture of Walt from his solo recording on Steeplechase from 1977.
There is also a duo album with Sunra. Nils told me Sunra wore headphones and listened to a ball game whiler they recorded the duo. That's crazy but then he was!
