Hi Everyone,
Hard to believe but I've just recorded my January show for the new year! As always, I've lined up some great vibes players and their music for you to hear. I know I am preaching to the choir...what a fun choir it is.
(if you are a pro and you're coming, let me know)
There will be a jam session Saturday Night
Free table display space for the first 10 professional players to confirm their attendance (display your CDs, music, mallets, books, etc.)
Free catered lunch Saturday afternoon, sponsored by Malletech
Players of all makes welcome
We’ll have a Musser M55, Yamaha Y3710 and Malletech

With all this talk of PASIC and Mike Manieri, I thought this might be of interest. It's streamed live Nov. 20th-22nd. At 3 PM EST on Friday, Nov. 22nd, Manieri will do a jazz improv workshop/performance. Check it out: http://jazzednet.org/virtualartistseries

Hi Everyone,
Hope you listened to the August show and heard Tony's album debut with the title track "Can't Find My Way Home." I plan to be at their Sept 20 gig in South Jersey and hoping maybe to get a piece into Jersey Jazz about it. What can I say but all good stuff!
I own a set of Joe Locke crossover mallets. These are great sticks if you're looking for a big sound without the real clang of hard mallets. Unfortunately, my stick have come unwrapped twice now. And I don't mean the yarn broke, but it literally just fell off the stick. Mike Balter rewrapped them for me the first time for no cost, and now he's replacing the set of mallets as a whole for a new set at no cost. There's a reason vibe players love Mike; he's straight forward, down to earth, he gets musicians, he's reasonable, and let's face it: he makes the best sticks!
Hi Everyone,
Hi everyone,
I just got copies of my new album today, "Top Shelf." Here is a link of Ken Fowser and I discussing this project:

I'm really excited about this new recording! It features a great band with Michael Dease on trombone, Steve Einerson on piano, Dezron Douglas on bass, Rodney Green on drums, and co-led with Ken Fowser on tenor saxophone. I have audio clips on my website, www.behngillecejazz.com
