Ed Saindon "LIVE" - CD review by Joe Locke

I just received a gift in the mail - a CD of Ed Saindon in concert @ the University of
New Hampshire, w/ Dave Liebman, Matt Wilson and David Clark. Beautiful concert, replete with
gorgeous originals("The Last Goodbye", "Hope", "The Healing") and re-imagings of standards
("Moon River", "Green Dolphin Street"). There's a solo/duet version of "Black Orpheus" which really shows how the grown-ups do it ... intense listening going on between Ed and

Invitation & more by Joe Locke (solo piece - Drop 2 "listen"!)

Hi all,

It’s a long time since I wished I could share the attached file with you. It’s in my "special collection" and I love it.

Last April when Joe Locke came to Paris his gig with the Moutin Brothers was recorded on the radio. Of course, I was there… and Florian too!

This is Joe’s solo intro piece... in full... and beautiful!

It fits rightly with Dana’s recent drop 2 lessons and Joe agreed that I posted it... I’m thrilled!

Enjoy!

P.S. : Jean-Michel, listen to what you missed! :o)

Mallets and Progressive Rock - Lazuli -

A colleague of mine is active in a site for Progressive Rock fans. We finally found a link between both our passions: a PR band with mallet percussions!

Don’t expect the vibes to be a star there. It’s first of all Progressive Rock:

- Guitars rule: bass, acoustic and electric guitar, chapman stick, warr guitar, and an instrument unique in the world: The Leode. That very large handled guitar, created by the player himself, after he had lost the use of his left arm in a road accident.

Ed Saindon vibraphone clinic on Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Hello everyone,

I have a vibraphone clinic coming up that I wanted to mention. The clinic will take place on Saturday, March 28th in Ogden, Utah as part of a PAS Day of Percussion hosted by Don Keipp.

The clinic will focus on mallet technique and address the following topics: pedaling, dampening and the fulcrum grip. Time permitting, I’ll also talk about improvisation, comping and solo vibraphone playing.
