Tim Lekan is a mover and shaker down in Somers Point, New Jersey. And he's a great bass player! They put on an incredible jazz festival each year!

In this series Tim does something he calls 'The Workshop'. Here he gets together with musicians and we do what ever: Talk to the audience, play tunes, anything that happens.

Also on drums is Bob Schomo. Although you don't have to be a rocket scientist to play drums, Schomo is just about one! He has a Masters or a PHD in physics. He's a super heavy cat and a great drummer!

Midnight yesterday evening. Far late enough as bed time for wise people... But I had not touched my vibes since I was back from the workshop... I closed the living room's door and took back my lonely mallets...

The rats and fish were quiet in the opposite corner. Ok, cool... But then I heard it. That noisy and disturbing clock on the cheminee that I always need to take off and put in the bathroom when I record something.

But this time I didn't hear it the same. It had become a lovely and soft 60 bpm metronome!

I thought this was a pretty good performance of etude 26. Let's see what David thinks!

Hello everyone,

Here's a recent article on chord scale theory. Let me know if there are any questions.

Check out David's comping here. I really felt like he left me plenty of space to do my thing!

The other thing I like is doing a vibe duet with 2 different model instruments. When you do a vibe duet with the same model instrument it sounds like one person playing with 8 mallets! But this way I think it sounds like 2 people playing.

Vid is a young talent I'm sure we'll all keep an eye on as he's young and sounds great!
