Hi everyone,

I just got copies of my new album today, "Top Shelf." Here is a link of Ken Fowser and I discussing this project:

I'm really excited about this new recording! It features a great band with Michael Dease on trombone, Steve Einerson on piano, Dezron Douglas on bass, Rodney Green on drums, and co-led with Ken Fowser on tenor saxophone. I have audio clips on my website, www.behngillecejazz.com

Our next TOTM

Wow, that was my favorite TOTM. Thanks Behn for suggesting it! It feels so good to know that a bunch of you guys are really working on this stuff. It helps me a lot. It's weird taking money from people. I really worry that people are getting something out of this site. With the Satin Doll TOTM it made me feel really good! That's the most involvement yet.

The thing I've learned about this site is, that this site is like a couple cockroaches in your apartment. You might see 2 of them, but you can be sure that there's another 50 behind the wall. You dig?

The month of March was dedicated to our TOTM Satin Doll: quite a few participants this time, and a lot of fun for everyone! This Monday we’ll start a new tune: Darn that Dream! So come and join us!!

We’re also announcing our Summer European Workshop in Limerick – Ireland! July 15 – 19th. An unexpensive, and convivial workshop hosted by our friend John Daly, and of course with Tony as teacher! For all info… it’s here: www.vibesworkshop.com/node/8563/

And for the rest of our activity… just follow the links bellow:

LESSONS:

Kurt's thoughts on playing solo on the guitar definitely apply to the vibes. Especially some of the beginning comments.

Check out when he talks about how he works on voicings.

Imagine playing a standard like this. You know what I mean? The concept of this piece I think lends itself to solo playing. The two voices. Something we can do on the vibes just as easily as can be done on the guitar.

 Announcing our 2013 summer workshop in Limerick, Ireland. This is a very affordable workshop at the Peter Dee Academy in Limerick. There are practice rooms, pianos and vibraphones. This is a very intense 5 day workshop.

Hope some of you guys can come!!!

Just a heads up. We are working hard behind the scenes. We are working on getting the videos to show on iphones, finally! The cool thing is we're working on a new layout that display on any device. From a small phone to a desktop computer.

That's really exciting because that means you watch lessons and study on your phone.

I'll keep you posted. We have a developers version of the site up and when it gets a little closer, I'll send you guys the link.
