None of These

Since it's our national day of celebration here I would like to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's Day, and for anyone with Irish roots hope you have a good one, Slainte!! Enjoy the vid it reminds me of when Tony came to Ireland for the first time and played this well known melody....:)

soooo, tony and bill eavans are kind of similar in a way..
i watched just a video from tony talking about putting yourself in a box, and this interview of bill evans goes along with that idea. there's just so much to say about it, hopefully some people will have their own ideas on it.I think bill evans is one of the most interesting people to hear speak. it's pretty simple ideas, but said very well and clearly.

As of this morning, there are 1,000 Vibesworkshop videos available via the Roku, Android and iPhone apps.

The Roku app has been installed on 2,565 Rokus and the Android app has been installed on 104 Android phones. Due to the nature of the iPhone app I can't really tell how many people are using it, but it seems to get a little more use overall than the Android app, and a fair amount less than the Roku app.

For info on how to install and use the apps, see the "Check This Out" links.

Have you ever played for a tap dancer ? This happened to me only once, in 1991, when I was still playing drums. At the moment, I'm sorting out a video of that particular club-date that the piano-player, Patrice Galas, sent me. The dancer's name is Fabien Ruiz. He was 27 or 28 years old then, so he's about 50 now (I was 50 then). I remember really enjoying that completely unrehearsed gig, which was two nights in the same club, a real jazz-club where people watched and listened. Fabien took his art seriously, and still does.

I recently performed a graduation recital, this is one of the pieces,

hope you like :)

Dana recently posted a performance by a Glass Harp player (see "Check This Out").

Here is another performer I found, Petr Spatina.

Check out his vibrato technique starting at 1:38.

Too cool not to share ;)

Fair warning -- this is a major geek-out. I'll forgive anyone who doesn't want to slog through it, and I don't expect many comments.

But, I'll go ahead. As often comes up in comments to posts here, this is a freakin' fantastic site. Most recently this comment has come up in response to the video of David playing "Giant Steps", but the awesomeness has many dimensions, including the contributions of the star players, the working pros, the students and the people just trying to make the best music they can.

Hi Everyone,

Hello Everyone,

I recently had a chat with the hotel manager in Sassenheim and I managed to get a little discount for the group. They have plenty of rooms available at the moment and I have reserved about 20 just in case. He needs me to confirm the exact numbers in a few weeks so I need information from all of you as soon as possible.
