Vibraphone

Hi everyone,

Here's an article which will be in the upcoming July issue of the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes. The article is titled "The Healing" and details the recording session of Depth of Emotion which featured saxist Dave Liebman, drummer Mark Walker, bassist David Clark and myself on vibes, marimba and piano. The article also discusses the compositional and improvisational aspects of my original composition The Healing.

Here's the article: http://edsaindon.com/documents/The_Healing_PAS_July_Issue.pdf

This a little excerpt of a concert i did some months ago in a very nice art-place in berlin.

The other musicians are:
Moritz Baumgaertner - drums
Antonio Borghini - bass
Tobias Delius - sax

Tell me if you want to hear/see some more. I'm very into 'free jazz' or 'free impsovised music' however you wanna call it...

I'm also working in a trio with a saxophonist who does graphical notations. I could upload a notiation with a recording :-) That would be interesting, and if anyone has questions about it let me know!

best regards,
Charly

Hey guys!

Here I play a transcription of a Milt Jackson Solo to All The Things You Are.
Recording is 'Mostly MJQ - Disc 1'

Normally I always play with the recording, but this time I wanted to try to play without recording and without metronome.
The goal was that you can snip your fingers on 2 and 4 through the whol solo :-)

The tempo is a bit slower than the original...

Tell me if it works for you!?

best, Charly

1. I am beyond practicing.
2. I play a regular gig at my empty venue.
3. Its easy to play anything I can play.

I hope this helps anyone who suffers from MWDP syndrome.
M - Masters
W - Who
D - Don't
P - Practice

As promised... here is the second part of our little tour of crazy instruments.

So this time, Florian performing "Au Clair de la Lune", on what could be called a "Metalo-Elastic-Phone". Sorry that you will in fact hear more the children having fun around than the sound of the instrument! :o)

Enjoy,

once in while i scan my pc for old files to delete. so i did today and found this practice video for the song nearness of you i recorded some time ago. i made nearly 10 takes of it. i watched this one and instead of deleting i liked it and thought to share it here. there is no theme because i just practiced the solo changes in a medium swing tempo.

Hey guys,

Here's a version of Jobim's How Insensitive. Thanks go to Gustavo for doing the editing of this concert footage.

The Chief is a really nice tune Pat Metheny wrote and recorded on a CD called Reunion, with Gary Burton. I made this video clip for one of Tony's Vibe Hangs, and decided to post it here too.

I've included links to the Lead Sheet and an mp3 of the Piano Accompaniment to use to practice the tune.

Cheers!
