Guys,
I've been given this link by my guitarist friend Bernard after I shared the recent Clark Terry vid... This French band is too good!! FYI, on xylphone vibist Jean-Miche Davis. (pass it on! :o)
Enjoy!

I'm here working on some forms I have to fill out and have Pandora playing a John Adams Station I made. All of sudden this marimba comes on and it's beautiful and articulate and stops me dead in my tracks. It's Evelyn Glennie and I just go…
Hello everyone, Just wanted to let you know about the upcoming Percussion Festival at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The festival will start on Monday, June 21st and end on Friday, June 25th. There are several tracks that we will have…
We will get together in the morning at about 9:30 until 12, then about 1 until 3 or 4.
We can probably work out practicing in the evening with John.
We'll have a bass player I think every day.
The catch is this: My plane comes in Sunday at…
I posted about transcribing some MJQ and hearing mistakes in the recording and feeling a little funny about it. This is one of my favorite groups, but I was complaining a little bit!
My punishment was that the video - 'Modern Jazz Quartet…
Hi everyone,
Here's an article which will be in the upcoming July issue of the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes. The article is titled "The Healing" and details the recording session of Depth of Emotion which featured…

So I'm transcribing some MJQ. I remember (I think) Gary Burton talked about them not being good readers. Ok. I'm taking down the tune 'Don't Stop This Train'. It's a sort of fugue. Well I've found 2 mistakes and I think they cut out a John…
I've been emailing with magicescalator and talking with him. We were talking about how he came to the instrument and more. So I thought we'd do a Who Is so you guys could meet him.
magicescalator, just add a new comment here and tell about…
I gave a lesson earlier today to my student Chris (who just joined the website!) on reading out of the Omni book. One of the things I was trying to get him to do was to keep going no matter what happens.
Tony's post on Chi Chi got me…
I've been working on this tune for a couple days. Last night I had a chance to play it on a gig. I decided to go ahead to record and then post it to see what kind of feedback y'all might send my direction. I hope you all dig it!
Here's a very very quick lesson. Just winding up the night here. Was practicing for a while working out some stuff.
The point of this lesson: Don't think twice about figuring out ways to start a solo, or some things you might try and play…
This is a live recording from my junior recital at the University of Lethbridge. The technique that i've based my playing from is from several youtube masters playing riq. I would use a video slow downer to study there technique and then…
Here's a quick test of the Tony Miceli 46R mallets.
I just them 5 minutes ago and thought I should post.
I love these mallets. Brings out the highs, but not overbearing. Feel is great. Works with my light touch.

Dana and I have been talking about chordal playing. Listen to this. See if you can listen to it and see that conceptually the way Bill Evans is playing would totally lend itself to the vibes. Man he's got 10 fingers but he's not using all…
Joe Locke showed me a cool scale that Olivier Messiaen used to write with. I found out later that it's a MOLT (Modes of Limited Transposition), which is pretty interesting. A major scale transposes into 7 variations and a diminished scale…
Get funky with your bad self.
Ok Voyeurs, I posted part of my practice mp3. I'll turn the recorder on and just mess around with an idea and then listen back. So mistakes and imperfections, here's what I do, maybe it will get some of you…
