One Thing I admire about Tony is that he is relentlessly here on the site creating blogs, lessons, giving feedback etc. From what I can tell he practices what he preaches and practices hard all the time. That's such a huge thing that I try to get across to all my students. You cant work hard 50% of the time and expect to be a master of your instrument.
Here a good exemple (IMHO) of two great musicians listening to each other. Note the constant search in order to produce different sounds, with no electronical effects, close to what acoustic vibes is. Enjoy !

I've just finished reading British Jazzer Ronnie Scott's book, Lets Join Hands And Contact The Living, its a great read, all about his life and his famous Jazz Club and some of the great musicians who played there. Well worth reading. I have also added a link of him playing with The Victor Feldman Trio, two amazing musicians, Scott was an immensely talented player and played with some of the greatest jazz musicians on the planet, so enjoy.
I recently got an even bigger cimbalom!
Not to fond of this performance, it was so shaky, but hope yous enjoy it anyway.
This tune is called Cimbalmos. It's a compilation of folk tunes from around Eastern Europe, originally performed by the cimbalom player in Besh O Drom.
Oh man! Isn't he cute? And damn right on the money!! A lesson for us all!! :o)
No loud talking, everybody paying attention. No clinking glasses. I WANT this gig -- jazz for cows
