Ed has embraced the Malletech Love Vibe and done some great things on it. I think he understands the instrument more than anyone. I think it was sort of develop with him in mind by Leigh Stevens.

Check him out. Since Ed is not a straight ahead jazz vibes player he has a lot more time to write and work on getting different sounds on the instrument. It seems to me if you're a jazz vibe player you're working on tunes, learning music, remember tunes and thinking about new techniques is not at the top of your list.

Hello Everyone!

I’m happy to announce that a project that I’ve been working on for years is finally a reality! I’ve recently launched the website: www.percussionandelectronics.com

PURPOSE
The website was created to facilitate the ability to discover and listen to music scores for percussion utilizing electronics as accompaniment. On the website you will find a large searchable database of works that aims to connect the percussionists with the composers and publishers. (Currently 240 pieces and growing)

Hi Everyone,
Check out September's Good Vibes details on my website, www.gloriajazz.com.
I may not be celebrating a wedding, but I've included something old ("Black Orchid" by Cal Tjader), something new ("Lucky To Be Me" from David Friedman's newest, Flight), something borrowed (five tunes borrowed from rock hit lists), and something blue ("Samba D'Blue" with Steve Nelson).

Balafon to Vibraphone: a unique path to new ideas

I wanted to share some thoughts about my balafon lessons and how they might connect to your primary instrument: vibes, marimba, piano, etc.

The "short" story.

Check out Gene. Great vibe player, lived in LA and played with everyone out there! Great Drummer!

If you know anything about Gene Estes please share it!

Soft, quiet, but articulate

Super soft, nearly silent, slurring articulation

Larry Mckenna as some of you know was my teacher when I was young and in college.

He is such a pure musician. He really taught to think about all the extra crap we add. I know I still add it, but hopefully because of him I add a lot less.
