Do you know Patrick Simard ? Canadian drummer. A Berklee guy also. Great fusion drumming and pretty good at vibes as well !! Love his phrasing !
Transcribing is a good way to practice !!
Recently I have noticed, when on the Internet, on almost any page I visit whether it be a bulletin board or just pages browsing the Internet, there always seems to be certain key words that are highlighted in color and double underscored. These words do not have to be clicked on to activate. If you just pass your mouse cursor over the underscored words, then an annoying or unwanted ad pops up that appear to be sponsored by "QwikLinx". Move the cursor away and they go away in a couple of seconds or you can click the x box in upper right corner.
Dear friends,

All the tunes are originals by Giovanni and me.

I hope you enjoy the music!
All the best!
It's the time of the year that I post Chaka Khan's version of 'Do you hear what I hear'. I'm playing marimba on this track. I remember recording it in the studio. I was playing the intro and all of a sadden she started singing. I couldn't believe my ears. One of my favorite moments in my career.
Dan Moore shared this video on Tony's FB page and I thought it was the perfect link to post today! Not sure if Dan is a member here (I couldn't find him in the list)... Maybe we'll know soon.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Serenata is an old standard that a pianist introduced to me back in the 1980s. It a great tune to do with a band or all by yourself.
This is a 5 tracks recording. This is my own arrangement. It's was fun to put together. I hope you'll enjoy !
Just got my first paid gig at a bar/jazz club in Yardley, PA. The place is called The Vault, primarily a "brew pub" but they hire live jazz 3 nights a week. Playing on January 3rd as a duo with Justin Sekelewski on bass. Only one thing I'm unsure about....When I sent the guy at the Vault an email with my demo I never mentioned that I'm only 16...could this cause an issue???
