I'm totally thrilled!!!
I just had a little chat on Facebook with Mike Ledonne... and he told me that he did that great thing of putting back those incredible vids of JazzBaltica 1999, with those beautiful duets between Milt and Bobby!!…
"Dr. Jackle" from Miles Davis - Quintet/Sextet
Transcription of Milt Jackson's solo
I love this solo. I transcribed it ages ago and got a lot out of it. Finally put it in Finale for you guys. Enjoy!!!!
Hi all!
As you might know I recently became dad of a cute baby son which makes me very happy BUT at the same time it keeps me off the vibes. Anyway I try to keep in touch with music by playing guitar (much lower volume possible) and today…
I think Diane plays this just great. The melody is so beautiful that we decided not to take any solos. I like it when singers just play a ballad straight down, one time.
So in this video the piano player (don't know who he is) is playing a transcription of the Michel Camilo recording of St. Thomas. Beside being in complete awe of the work this guy put in, and the quality level that he plays, I'm wondering…
So I approached this Bach just like it was a tune. Besides all those guys back in the day could improvise, and they probably approached this the same way.
Here's another track from my gig with Steve Giordano and John Swana.
Here's the thing about this music for me. Steve has a T-Shirt and it's sort of a joke.... It says 'Avante Guarde - Unfortunately Where Every Note is the Right Note'. I…
Malletech's new "Love Vibe"
I was at PASIC this past weekend checking out all of the vibes in the expo, and I was able to play it and chat with Leigh Howard Stevens for a minute to talk shop about the instrument.
The main feature of the…

Man I love this picture!
I got it on Mike Balter's FB... The legend Mike wrote: "Mr. Percussion of Hollywood, Emil Richards trying out the new Joe Locke 46R Mallets."
Mike? Did you take it? Jeez this photo is soooo cute!! Thanks!!

Hey Everyone,
Tony asked me to do another etude with a Blue Bossa theme. You will find that this etude is loosely based on Blue Bossa, with a few alterations (some reharmization and interludes). Hopefully, this may give a few ideas for…
I'm totally digging the TOTM. I feel like we're all studying together. That's the difference. You can find anything on youtube, but this is turning out to be a sort of school isn't it? Everybody working and learning together. Talking about…
Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well!
I will be making it over the New York for my 3rd year in a row and this time a former teacher of mine whom is undergoing a doctorate at Manhattan School has requested we do a recording whilst I'm over.…
Hi all,
I wanted to start a new thread here, since I wasn't sure how long I'd go on with this.... I had more thoughts about the amplification issues that were again raised, and especially Ted's post about the Deagan instrument with mics…
Check out Behn's new etude.
To the first person who posts this etude, I'll send Behn's 2 latest CD's for free.
Here's a midi file of the etude. But I'll get Behn over to video the etude.
BUT HERE'S THE FINE PRINT!
YOU HAVE POST THE ETUDE…
The Jason Marsalis posting touched on this and brought me back to thinking about it; I have been working on this addition to the Theory section of my website for a few months, trying to get my head around it... typically for me, it's too…
When I stumbled upon this video today, I personally was drawn into it. I imagine it will have mixed reactions here on the site. I guess the guy is in a Mozart type of vibe. Ok, cool.
Listen to this in regards to comping and playing changes…
I just had a great chat with Marco Bianchi, an Italian vibist who is member here, even if seldom online.
He told me he was preparing a new album with music in the Zappa style. He's also working on a TV show with 2 friends. They make little…
J.S. Bach Violin Partita No 1. in B Minor BWV 1002: Movement V Sarabande
Filmed outside the UD music dept. buildings. The audio quality is good but low; headphones will be necessary to listen sufficiently. The parenthetical title exists to…
