we all had a tune, and tony sometimes posts some of his practice tapes which i think is a good idea.today i tried to work out some things of the tune solar.please remember it´s just a rough and unedited practice tape...one take, means lots of mistakes, no right timing etc. but at least i thought there are some good moments in it.i wish i could do a tape with only good moments in it :)

Hi All,

Here's a duo recording of "Invitation" I made with my friend Mike Caruso on guitar. Please forgive my brain freeze in the ending, and the rattling of the connector rod on my vibes (fixed now via a vanderPlas damper pad). Otherwise, I think it came out pretty good :-). Constructive criticism appreciated...

Only 1. What would it be? Just one.

Forget the desert island, let's just say you're going away for 6 months and for whatever reason you can only bring one cd with you. (Just a way to build a best of list)

Hmmm and how about this: once the CD is posted you can't take that CD. That will help us build an interesting list of cds, I think.

My pick would be 'Alone - Gary Burton'.

I've been doing the U Arts summer camp program. This year for some reason was a hard year. I'm not sure why, however, I'm done after tomorrow (friday) and then I'll get back to posting my usual barrage of stuff here!

This is Monkadelphia a band I play with.

ive pulled together a quartet to do a milt jackson and cal tjader tribute at the Avalon Bar and Grill in talent oregon. very nice venue and the owner is the pianist on the gig ..

we are goin broadcast via mogulus.com ( this will be the our first attempt at this)

I'm thinking the next vibe hang could be July 26th. Who wants to play on it??

(Still working out some details)

My buddy Wilson Moorman is in a group called Strike Force. It's a percussion group and I thought I'd give you a quick sample of them. Pretty cool stuff.

In the group is:
Thurman Barber
Bryan Carrott
Wilson Moorman
Eli Fountain
Ray mantilla

This is a nice and cool version of my bossa-ballad "Calm Down" (recorded "live in Berlin", 2006), played by the musical fellows and friends of my brazilian jazz group BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE from NYC.

Gustavo Bergalli - trumpet
Klaus Mueller - piano
Itaiguara - bass
Portinho - drums
Florian Poser - vibes

Have fun!

For those who are interested in playing the tune I attached the sheet-music as PDF file to this post.
