Hello everyone,

This video footage is from a concert that featured veteran pianist Dick Whittington and myself on vibes. Dick is a long time pianist of the West Coast jazz scene who has played with many of the legends in jazz. Dick was instrumental in starting an educational jazz music program in the Berkleley, California school system during the 60’s. He was also the owner and host of the Maybeck Recital Hall which presented more than 40 concerts of solo pianists which were released on the Concord Jazz label.

I love to practice with play along accompaniments. This is a piano track I made for Dizzy's tune "Con Alma", which is one of my favorites. It takes you through some less common keys like E and Db. This play along includes 4 complete choruses to practice on and a little tag ending. I've attached a lead-sheet with melody and changes.

Since there was talk about vibe mics, I thought I'd post something official and see if we could get some talk and photos.

I use and sell the AMT Vibe Mics and I love them. 3 mics, 2 above and 1 below. It's a great set up and the sound is fantastic.

Hi everybody ! Lately I've been working on memorising that John Coltrane solo on "Four". This morning, soon after breakfast, while still in my bedroom slippers, I recorded this version. I'm quoting the 1st 16 bars from Coltrane's solo to sort of kick me off (I had to bring the tempo down a bit) and the rest is my own. It's far from perfect, but I'm sure I can improve it by applying myself a bit more. I'm sort of happy, for once, because only two weeks ago, I wouldn't have done this. Cheers ! (PS : the rhythm section is me on drums + a Band-Box "real track".
