Hello guys and M-N, here's a vid of me practicing the melody of a beautiful composition by Joe titled "Love Is A Planchette". Joe brought the lead sheet when he visited for a rehearsal for our upcoming CD. He'll be here in July at Berklee for a duo concert with Joe and myself playing two vibes. It should be a lot of fun.

This clip is one of three that I posted up on my YouTube page. Pretty funny about my two golden retrievers Gibson and Jackson coming in when I started to play. I'm thinking they either dig or hate it and want me to stop playing. Probably the latter.

Here's a clip from the Delaware Workshop 8-6-2010, featuring Tony Miceli - vibes, Todd Canedy -drums, and ? on bass.

Tony, what's the name of this tune?

Enjoy!

Chega De Saudade - Gustavo Agatiello & Ed Saindon performing at Berklee Percussion Festival on June 20th, 2011.

Here's another one I captured on video. I only wish I captured more footage.

p.s. sorry for the movement in the videos - it was difficult to sit still and hold my camera during this ;-)

Enjoy!!

Jitterbug Waltz - Gustavo Agatiello & Ed Saindon performing at Berklee Percussion Festival on June 20th, 2011.
I had the pleasure of being at this outstanding performance, and was able to capture some of it on video.

Enjoy!!

This is what I was trying to make reference to in the shout box, on June 22nd, (sorry about the clutter). I think the two instruments compliment each other well in this atmospheric composition. Thoughts?
Roger Beaujolais, vibes, BJ Cole, pedal steel and Simon Thorpe, bass are LushLife "Chasing A Dream".

Joe Magnarelli - Trumpet
Me - Vibes
David Brodie - Bass
Dan Monaghan - Drums

This is a GREAT story. I Hope Alain will talk about his vibes and what he's doing. Incredible interesting I think.

This is a complete version, with the first part (kind of verse for american people), by Yves Montand, one of the best french singers, who created the song (not exactly, there was another version before, but which didn't do the tremendous hit of Montand's one).
Since the lyrics are a poem of Jacques Prévert, if you sing the song in french, it's a nonsense not to sing both parts.
I felt anyone would know all that. Enjoy !
(Oh ! I don't have any idea who is the vibist...)

Our next TOTM is Autumn Leaves. Here is one of my favorite versions. Do you know who Eva Cassidy is? Man check her out, she is pretty heavy. More of a blues singer, but wow, she gives me chills. She died very young and in her prime. I'm a huge Eva Cassidy fan and this is my most favorite versions of Autumn Leaves.

We won't use this to study, but I just figured I'd post it.

Check out the versions below. All the interpretations. Man!!!

Hey guys,

Started to look at this tune again. Really nice tune 3/4 tune in a minor key by Kurt Weill titled Liebeslied. Sort of plays itself with nice guide tone lines running through the changes. 32 bars, through composed.

FYI: We added some more improv articles on my website.
