Alexandru Anastasiu is a buddy of mine (via the internet) and a great classical vibe player. I just got his cd and have been listening to bits of it via my crazy schedule! The CD is great and very different from what we're used to hearing…
Here is a piece originaly played by the hippy band Iron Buterfly called "In a Gadda Da Vida".
This Nguyen Lê's band (guitare) :"song of freedom"
with Linley Marthe on bass, Stephane Galland on drums and myself on marimba.
It seems to me that 9/11 had a profound effect on the music business. I've never heard that talked about. As I remember it was after 9/11 that all the New York gigs fell apart. No one was going outside. All the clubs started doing the door…
I recorded this with Mark;s bass line after I got the count in sorted, and put a harmony line on top, tried to keep it strictly to the notes but of course played few pinky's anyway here it is. Comments welcome
If you play and record yourself, give yourself the day after test. Don't delete the files, put them away and come back the next day or after that and listen. Watch how what you thought can change!
Here's a clip of Joe and I playing my original composition Hope. Joe plays a beautiful solo introduction on it as well as great lines over the Gb drone. Here's a copy of the lead sheet in case anyone wants to follow along: http://www.…

I've been recording myself playing tunes solo the last couple of nights. I play several versions of the tune, listen to it, critique it and then play a few more.
What I like about that is you play for about 30 minutes and then listen for…
When I started building my very first vibe some 15 (or was it more?) years ago, I made a smallwidth pedal for it.
With that pedal I got quite some problems:
- the damperbar was pulled down unevenly
- eventho it was only a 3 octaves with…
i was a little upset that i did not manage to play the head right on my first post.i kept practicing and took care of all the advises from the first post. so here´s another version of the song, i´m much more pleased with. still not perfect…
Here's an etude for you to play. It's a voice melody on the tune - 'Till There Was You.
I played this right into Logic. So you're hearing the version from the MalletKat! It dampens great!!! You just have to touch up the midi data when you…
I once again learned a valuable lesson. I learned about instrument sound. Using soft sticks and playing loud creates a lot of instrument noise.
I was in the studio with Diane Monroe playing duo. So nothing covering up my sound. I was…
today i tried to practice be bop...
wow those abershold guys are so fast, i sucked on the head. it´s so difficult to think that fast on those bebop tunes...

This is a warm up MJQ tune we played during our sound check for our first gig with Tony, The quality is not bad, its a mix direct from the desk, pity is the gig was a great gig but the Bass died on the recording for the whole set except…
I'm working on a duo project with a pianist from my school, and we want to do a piece with a dancer, or a small group of dancers.
We've been looking thorugh some pieces, but maybe someone will have a suggestion for us. Has anybody…
