We have Behn's cd in our store and I've heard and it's a GREAT cd. All original compositions, right Behn? And you composed most of them as I remember.
If you want to support Behn, buy his CD. He would appreciate and I know when you hear it you will also!!!
Listen to Ludvig, you'll hear that he's been checking bebop and the language!!
Everybody knows Norbert!!!
Antonio is a timpanist from spain who is working on his vibe playing. To me he has a solid foundation, as I think you'll hear. It was great to work with him!
I think it's good for you guys to check all these players out from around the world, don't you think?
Guys,
Nick Mancini is my latest Face Book friend. I came across this recent video of him and just went: wow!!! That guy can swing!!
Enjoy,

What's great about a workshop, I'm realizing is the concentration of it all. Everybody is out of their environment and together for one reason and that's to talk about the vibes. That was the last four days. Everybody made progress in those four days. They took shifts in the school at night practicing on the 2 Premieres and the Musser (Nico, get VPB to Ireland). We all worked hard, everyone was so cool and supportive.
This has been a great week for me. The 7 vibe players here taking the workshop are great guys and love playing the vibes. So we've been getting into some great discussions about how to learn tunes, playing melodies, separating the parts of the, i.e., the melody, the chords and then the chord melody.
Let's all wish Barryk a happy birthday. Besides being the first subscriber on the site Barryk is one of the nicest guys you could every meet! And he's a hard worker and loves practicing and playing the vibes!
