I laughed when I heard vibraman mention Franz's name (Franz is a new subscriber). He said, 'Man I thought I knew all the great players in Germany'.
There's a message here I think worth mentioning. Man be humble. You just never know who's sitting in the audience, or who's around the corner from you.
I had Mike Gordon over the house today. I didn't know much at all about Phish. But man some people worship this group huh??? He shot some video for our hand drum site. Any fans? I'll also put some on face book.
I was supposed to go to the concert tonight, but i got sick.
This is pretty amazing. Check out the chime solo in the middle. Man Rollini was a monster.
I played a happy hour duo gig back in January. A friend captured this video and, even though its not my shiniest moment, I thought I would go ahead and post it for fun.
My friend Paul Metzger is playing with me.
Hello Vibes Workshop !
I was doing a gig yesterday with some students from a "conservatoire" in Paris, we were playing at the auditorium of the conservatoire...
We played some pop songs. I played marimba. (BTW I have to get the vibes player on the site)
Here is an excerpt "I wish", from Stevie Wonder.
Enjoy !

Guys,
I just came across this smoookin' vid and felt like sharing it: Henry Hey is a great musician that I knew more as an amazing "soft pianist". He was notably in Joe Locke's two first albums with voice.
But man... this is another something else! And the four of them are... wow!! How would say Tony "playing their asses off"! Oh man! What would the Inquisitor think about it! ;o)
Anyway, I love to hear them all (that electro/sax is amazing!), and watch them having so much fun!
A lesson in itself, no?
Enjoy!

Jeez, I quit. Look at this guys gig. This is totally depressing. He sticks a leaf in his pocket and is off on tour.
Hi all,
I don't usually post about my "live" radio broadcasts, but I'm excited about this one. XM Real Jazz (Satellite Radio - Channel 70 & 72) caught us on a really good night @ Dizzy's in NYC in late Jan. The results will be aired twice this weekend > Fri, March 12th at 8PM and Sun, March 14th at 4PM. We're playing music from my new CD, "For The Love OF You" (E1 Music).
I hope some of you can tune in!
The band consists of myself (vibes), Kenny Washington (vocals), Geoffrey Keezer (piano), George Mraz (bass) and Clarence Penn (drums).
Oh man...
You were right Tarik: this version is incredible. The tempo, the gentle swing, and the deep deep soul in those two 'god''s voices! I also like the idea of both man and woman singing it. Making the meaning hmm... let's say more "universal".
If you guys are working on that tune on vibes, this version would surely be a "must dig in" to help make your version "live"!
Enjoy!

Check out Victors solo. He's the last to solo. It's smokin'.
