"The Veteran"

Hey guys,

I'm a real believer of setting goals. They at least tell you if you're on track or off track. I think it's ok to be either of them, but the thing that's important is that you know whether you're on track or off track.

I would like to know what resources are available (online, software, books, CDs, etc.) for ear training. I'm interested in something that would be self-directed and I can work on at my own pace.

I'm interested in this subject because I seem to have a great ear for some things and a terrible one for others. I never had formal ear training and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to just go back to the basics. I'm interested in whatever anyone has to say about ear training. Thanks, Bob

Does anyone have hard flight cases for a set of M55 vibes that they would be willing to rent out??

It seems to be a pretty quiet morning here at the Vibes Workshop so I figured I'd post another video. This is from the same concert as the Deep Hearts video I uploaded a few days ago.

This one is called Ups and Downs and it is one of my originals.

All about the Mallet Kat from Alternate Mode

In this study we work on the tune 'Take the A Train' and study it from top to bottom!

Here's lesson 3 for A Train. Memorize the chords and play chord melody for the head.

A rare Milt Interview.

My buddy Dick Klien is a superior court judge here in Philadelphia. He also plays drums and jazz. Back in school he did a bunch of interviews for his radio station at college. Here's the Milt interview.

Milt had just recorded the cd with Coltrane and was working on his strings album. Cool to listen to.

*I just noticed that you could submit performances for members, so I wanted to put this out there again.*

This is a video I recently made of my band, Nós Novo, playing one of my favorite Bjork tunes. Though the band was founded with a view to playing and playing with Celtic musics from our perspective as jazz musicians, we also do the occasional song that I just really enjoy playing and feel suits the group... to my ears there's a lot of connection to Irish music in this performance, but if it doesn't strike you that way, I hope you enjoy it for what it is.
