Hello everyone, Just wanted to let you know about the upcoming Percussion Festival at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The festival will start on Monday, June 21st and end on Friday, June 25th. There are several tracks that we will have for students to choose from. The tracks are vibraphone, marimba, drum set and hand percussion.

Vibe faculty will include Dave Samuels, Gustavo Agatiello and myself.

About the schedule:

Monday is registration along with several concerts and masterclasses after registration.

Classes and ensembles begin on Tuesday.

Vibist Jon Letsky has done a great job in updating my website. Some of the features now include a Recent News section, Recordings section (including the entire concert with Dave Liebman in which the downloads are free) and a Video section which includes all of my YouTube videos. Here's the link in case anyone wants to check it out: http://www.edsaindon.com/Default.aspx

Other Miscellaneous Updates:

Hi All-

It's been awhile; lots of exciting things going on around here! I have some fairly exciting news of my own: I'll be appearing at the Melbourne Jazz Festival this May with my band, Nós Novo on the 1st @ Bennett's Lane, and on the 4th with Jo Lawry's quintet. We'd of course love to see any Melbourne/Aussie vibeworkshoppers in attendance... I mean, all are welcome of course, but it's kind of a schlepp for the rest of you!

DON'T FORGET THE ONLINE HANG, THIS SATURDAY APRIL 3, 1pm East Coast, USA Time

To watch, tune in here.

Hi all,

I don't usually post about my "live" radio broadcasts, but I'm excited about this one. XM Real Jazz (Satellite Radio - Channel 70 & 72) caught us on a really good night @ Dizzy's in NYC in late Jan. The results will be aired twice this weekend > Fri, March 12th at 8PM and Sun, March 14th at 4PM. We're playing music from my new CD, "For The Love OF You" (E1 Music).

I hope some of you can tune in!

The band consists of myself (vibes), Kenny Washington (vocals), Geoffrey Keezer (piano), George Mraz (bass) and Clarence Penn (drums).

This is the official announcement of the University of Delaware Workshop with David Friedman and myself.
