Drum Percussion

Hi Folks:

My band, Nós Novo, is doing our 2nd Annual Very Special Xmas Special tonight at Cornelia Street Cafe at 9pm. One long set of jigs, reels, old songs, and a few carols, woven into our repertoire and sounding like us. $10 cover for one long set... should be great fun.

It's that time of year again; a time for the endlessly curious combination of ancient ritual and online shopping; cloves and cinnamon wafting through Walmart, trees brought inside and dressed up, Lady Gaga singing about the infant christ on tv.

Finally, a website celebrating the musical genius of Victor Feldman (1934-1987), multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire and one of England's greatest exports! You've heard him on countless film scores, records, he contributed greatly to Steely Dan's recorded work and so much more. We lost him a quarter of a century ago at the young age of 53.

Hello,
Yesterday I went to see a concert, lead by Guitar player Marc Ribot. I really felt like sharing this evening with all of you.

Marc Ribot's tribute to fim noir of the 40's, 50's and 60's.

Ribot was backed up by 10 belgian musicians. They received the scores a couple of months ago, and rehearsed with Marc all saturday apparently. Some of the musicians I've seen play before (mostly in JAZZ bands), others I wondered why I didn't see them before. What a band. fantastic musicians. crazy.

Line up :
Ribot : electric guitar/acoustic guitar/Banjo/Electric Sitar.
2 percusionists

Greetings vibesworkshoppers! I have an unusually tight little grouping of vibraphone-heavy gigs I'm leading in NYC in the next two weeks, just wanted to share them with you in case you're in town and interested.

May 24th: I'll be leading my own trio at The Bar Next Door, by NYU and Washington Square Park. (http://lalanternacaffe.com/page/1rjs6/Bar_Next_Door.html)

This years PF Academy Week will take place on the Conservatory of Amsterdam from the 6th till the 14th of july. What will we offer you:

- Special guest coachings by Tchiki Duo and percussion professor Peter Prommel.

- Days from 10:00 to 18:00 and on some days we will plan some extra private classes, or a guest tutoring in the evening.

I've got 2 high quality mics for sale. These AKG c-414s are excellent for studio recording or amplification on a gig. They are large diaphragm condenser mics that recording engineers have used and trusted for years.

This mic has 4 settings - cardioid, hyper cardioid, omni, and figure 8. It has 2 roll-off settings for low frequences of 75 hz or 100hz. You can also reduce the sensivity by 10 or 20 db. Both come with windscreen, mic stand adapter, case, and user manual.

Just a heads up.

We have the PA chapter Day of Percussion coming up.
