Here's an in depth study of the tune Stella By Starlight. It's an intermediate/advanced lesson that covers ways to study Stella as well as other tunes.
Orrin Keepnews talk about the Milt and Wes CD.
It's a different thing! There's alway talk amongst vibe player about Steve Nelson. He certainly stirs up some controversy, which is good I think.
He's definitely trying for something different here. If you've followed him then you've heard him burn and play totally inside.
Hey Everyone,
I posted two more Nelson CD's. The first on was recommended by Arture and I also posted another one. Somehow the Amazon post did not work, so they're not showing up as recent posts so I thought I'd add a link to the library posts here.
Check these out:

Here is a CD by Steve Nelson that was just recommended to us by our good friend Arturo from Spain.
I don't think it is available at amazon, but there is a page there with a link to other sellers of this CD.

Tell us about yourself wuestentrommler!

Hi there,
I'm „wuestentrommler“, living in the Sultanate of Oman. I work as „head of percussion“ for the royal guard's military school of music, teaching symphonic percussion to my students, currently 9 men and 10 ladies, all Omanis.
Let's do another vibe hang!
Who want's to play? Let's get some new people!! Come on!
We're going to time Mike Pinto setting up his vibes. He says he can do it in 8 minutes. I say he's a liar.
Maybe not a very good title but I can't help it. I've been starting up my practice routine for 2 days now and started transcribing a steve Nelson solo on 'Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me'. It's Blowing me away!! I posted a part of his solo on But Beautiful on the same cd 'Full Nelon' a while ago(see check this out) and the thing that really blows me away is his timing. It really reminds me of Milt, weaving through the changes and swinging like hell.
