Helllo all. We are going to have a live internet tv station every Wednesday night a starting at 7 PM. The site is alternatemode.tv

It is a mogulus station. If you want to participate and perform live, let me know (mariokatman@gmail.com)

Besides performances, it will be a place to get your questions answered live. The focus for now will be the malletKAT.

Hope to see you there.

the duet is on the site. it's on the front page at this point.

listened to you more. think about your voicings. make sure the harmony stands out. compare to mine and we can talk next time we have a lesson. off to bed.

Take a break, this is really funny.

I just wanted to pass along a message to everyone. The site is growing, and there are a lot of high profile vibe players starting to check out the site. I'm getting email from many of these guys, some are already here. I grant them all full access to the site and ask and hope they'll get involved a little. I'm asking them to use their real names for OUR benefit, not theirs. I think when you guys see Joe Locke on the site that it's probably pretty inspiring. How about when you see Joe, Ed, Friedman,Piper and Mainieri all on the site at the same time. That's an amazing roundtable, huh?

Hey guys Last night I went to dizzys club in new york and saw joe locke perform and it was really amazing! Joe has such a beautiful sound and approach to the vibes and the music. If you are in the area you should go see the show! He is there through sunday!

Dave Samuels' Caribbean Jazz Project will appear at Sculler's Jazz Club http://www.scullersjazz.com on Thursday, February 18, 2009 at 8PM.

I was inspired by tonys insane cherokee etude so I thought i'd throw up a version from a different angle! Hope you enjoy!
