Vibraphone

Check out some of Zappa's true genius with the Black Page.

Hey everybody,

Ed played a great gig with his quartet at the Sahara Club on April 6th. This video is of Jitterbug Waltz by Fats Waller. You can follow the link to youtube and see part 2 of this tune as well as a few of the other tunes from the show.

Enjoy!

Tony realized that Jay Messina just joined us as subscriber. Jay has a great career as sound engineer for the greatest musicians all around the world... We'd love to know more, about his past, and his history with the vibraphone too!

Jay, please tell us!!

And welcom on Vibesworkshop!

So my car stereo blew a few months ago. I bought another one a few months ago thinking it replace it myself. I tried but no sound. So I got my son an his Drexel buddies over figuring 30 grand a year, they can get it working. Nothing.

So finally I went to Best Buy and had them put it in only to find out that the problem was not the radio but the speakers. Ok, 400 dollars later (and I'm broke right now) I have a new car stereo and speakers.

I saw the name Jay Messina and thought that sounds familiar. I went to his site, www.jaymessina.com. Anyone into rock will know who Jay is. And he's a heavy cat. He is probably one of the top recording engineers in the world. Man he recorded Aerosmith. You know he has had an incredible life!!

Well he still has is Hampton model pro-vibes and has been playing around with them again. Jay said Mainieri gave him some mallets and he's been hitting a different kind of heavy metal!

I've been off the radar, mainly because it's the end of the semester and things are crazy.

There's a few things I'll get on soon, including a Jamie Aebersold book give away thanks to Toddc, the next vibe hang (will Randy bring his gongs?) and more lessons.
