Working on different rhythm changes tunes. So far I've looked at I got Rhythm, Tiptoe, and Oleo...and suggestions?
Hey guys, Joe was mentioned a little while back. He was the drummer in the TV clip with Gary when they were playing with Stan Getz. Here's a photo of Joe that was taken on a gig with bassist Mark Carlsen and myself. The gig is at a nice Japanese restaurant on the outskirts of Boston. We have another night coming up tomorrow.
Joe is a special drummer. He really knows the history of jazz and all of the players. He can burn at a very soft dynamic level. He blows me away every time that we play.

After missing the Chick and Gary show at the Blue Note this fall, I decided I had better get down to Iridium a few weeks ago to see L'Image (the reunion group featuring Mike Mainieri, David Spinozza, Steve Gadd, Tony Levin and Warren Bernhardt). I'm happy to report the group is better than ever, and out with some great new music.
Hey guys, ran across this site recently. Has some good improv related topics and put together pretty nicely with related videoclips. Here's the link: http://jazzadvice.com/7-harmonic-breakthroughs-that-completely-changed-…

Hello everyone, if anyone is interested in writing an article for the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes, please contact me for details. It can be on any topic related to the vibraphone and marimba like technique, improv concepts, exercises/etudes, etc. You can contact me via my Berklee email address: esaindon@berklee.edu
Thanks. Ed
I'm reading Marc Levin's book on theory and then also his one on voicings. He's a pretty hip cat! Here's a quote from his book:
Scales are the alphabet, not poetry, of music. You need to know the alphabet, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and so on before you can write words, sentences, and ultimately poetry.
My guitarist friend Bernard and I can't wait for April 17th: we are to go and see Gary play in Paris! Today for my b-day, Bernard sent me this youtube link as a gift! I said: that's perfect!!
So I'm sharing it with you: love it! Man they are in Buenos Aires, a place where you surely can't be wrong with Tango. Gary starts alone, but everything is already there! Even before the "traditional" musicians enter: wow!! And just listen to the public's reaction: no mistake!! ;-)
Enjoy! - M

Hi,
Here is a song called Los Bilbilicos from my duet Lame Vocale.
it's sung in ladino (Spanish Jewish) by the French soprano singer: Lea Sarfati.
Hope you will enjoy.
Merry chrismas

I"m in the Caribbean for a few more weeks. I spend my days practicing, checking out vibesworkshop, reading and gigging.
I've really been thinking about lines all the time and practicing them. I brought the Omnibook don't and am checking out Confirmation. I'm seriously thinking about going cover to cover with the book. I've done a few of the solos but not in any order. I would really love to spend a year or two checking out Parker.
