Another memorable day for a memorable guy, Lionel Hampton who's birthday occurs today. What an amazing guy, he put the vibraphone on the map.

Let's pay a little tribute to Teddy Charles who left us this week... Smoking title from 1956... with Charles Mingus (if you please!) :o)
It's this time of the year again! Its the end of the semester and I'm working lots of gigs. That spells chaos for me!! This is a crazy time, and I can't wait for it to end, so I have lots of time to practice and hang out on the site. I have lots of ideas for rhythm changes lessons, so I'm eager for all this to end!!!!
I am keeping an eye on things and hanging out a bit but I'll be back in full strength in about a week!!!!!
This is another tune of the concert by Luis played in a São Luiz Jazz Festival in Lisboa the last 1st of April with a combo of the school where I'm studying.
The band is:
Fábio Almeida: alto sax
Luis Miguel: tenor sax
Marcel Pascual: vibraphone
Ricardo Pinto: piano
Diogo Dinis: double-bass
Nuno Oliveira: drums
The sound and image of the video is not so good, but well, this was a concert. I'm behind the blonde head...
