This is so grooving it's killing me!

Do you use sequencers to practice. Man, they can be very helpful. Loops are a great way to practice. But even making up loops without the sequencer and playing them in a solo vibes format can be really help you're playing.

So, I talk about loops in this lesson.

I posted a pdf to go along this. It's attached below.

We’ve had news from Tom Marcello of the upcoming CD Joe Locke will release on Jan. 26th. But I don’t think any info was posted here about his brand new website, of course designed by the talented Nadja Von Massow: http://www.joelocke.com/

New fine outlook, updated info on tour, discography, a special page for all the videos now available, new pictures and many audio samples.

Hi Everyone-

Haven't been by for awhile, and sorry to stick my head back in to fish for technical info, but I'm needing to know:

Anybody got dimensions on the flight cases for the M48? I own a set, but they're in storage, and someone I play with is asking me to find out what it would cost them to fly them to a gig next year. (2011!) It'd be handy to know both how big they are and how heavy they are when they're full. Can't seem to find it anywhere on Musser's site.

I am learning Skylark and decided to have a duet with Tony while he was at my house. Bass and drums are Band-in-a-Box RealTracks.

Tony wanted me to come over his house to hang, and record the Arabesque that I am working on. Since I don't play vibes with graduated bars as well as non-graduated bars, Tony offered to come my house!

I had a lot of fun. I got to try out a bunch of different mallets and play a tune with Tony on piano with Band-in-a-Box RealTracks bass and drums.

This is with a special thought for Tony, who did a nice version of my buddy's tune (see below)

This is for Phillipe.

He posted the lead sheet for this tune and was hoping some of us would give it a shot. I laid back to see who might tackle this and when nobody did, I tried it.

Here are some etudes based on the tune Beautiful Love.
