Hi Gary I have a question for you about amplification:
I'd like to know what you like to hear on stage that enables you to play using full dynamics and always sounding rich and never strident? What kind of monitor set up do you use?(where do you like them placed?) What do you ask to hear in the monitors (how much of yourself back at you as opposed to the other instruments?) Do you prefer one mic over others for live use? I remember you saying that whatever they put on there is generally ok but is there one that just sounds better?
This is a clip from the jazz workshop i presented in Honolulu, Hawaii this February. the youths in the workshop are from a very talented Middle School Percussion ensemble and really soaked up the concepts .. One of the student just enrolled in skype lesson from my studio in oregon ..we plan on moving to Honolulu in february of 2015 ...

Hi everyone
One small sample from my latest gig in Philadelphia.
Thanks for watching!
I'm telling ostinatos are the ((*&. they are changing my whole outlook on playing vibes. NOT that I'm going to play ostinatos. but they are changing how I'm hearing lines against lines, They're magical. I have to finish a solo I'm transcribing now. After that I think I want to try a Gyil transcription. Or at least pieces of it.
I feel like I'm becoming free from doing the little I'm doing with ostinatos. I want to do more!
Hey,
With the anouncement of a Tyler Blanton concert in my neighbourhood, I started thinking : " we are on our way...."
I got the feeling Jazz vibes playing in Belgium is slowly growing! In comparison with a few years back the vibes are coming above the surface.
While we never used to get jazz gigs with vibes, these times, every now and then concerts start to appear. In the music conservatories, percusion players choose more and more to start playing jazz on vibraphone, and they start their own trio's and quartets.

I was trying a mountable overhead camera. On my head. Maybe too jittery. I should mount it back on the ceiling.
