A Serious Look at Recording the Vibes

I've been talking with Randy Sutin about recording the vibes. Randy has hooked up with a great recording engineer here in the philly area. He's going to do an in depth look at different ways of recording the vibes. It looks like we're going to video it and he's going to really prepare something great.

Yah Randy!!! This will really be valuable and cool for subscribers to check out. Maybe Randy will comment here and tell us a little about Dahoud.

Harry Sheppard - Paris 1961/2 !!

Guys!

I just got an email from Harry... he sent me this link, saying I might like it cos' this film was recorded in Paris 1961...

Harry, I'm sorry but this is not something that can be just kept in an emailbox... well not in mine!!! :o)

His solo is quite short, but God that whole tune is incredible!!

Enjoy!!

P.S.: I had not noticed before, but his catch phrase signing his emails is "Live, Laugh, Love, and make Music"... :o)

Let's talk about practicing

Hi everyone,

I am interested in getting a wide-ranging discussion about practicing going here on the VW. There is more than one way to approach practicing, and it is a very personal thing for each musician. Some musicians are very methodical about it while others are highly flexible. And things like schedules, traveling, and access to practice space can all contribute to shaping one’s practice habits.

The Concert Will Be Here

We decided to open this concert for everyone who might be interested in checking it out.
Originally we were inviting a lot of presenters, but since this is the first one we decided to trim that back for this time.

Hi Tech Click by Tony Miceli

I practice with loops a lot. Especially percussion loops. Bossa's, Samba's and this swing feel. Kind of feels like the ultimate click track.

A lot of times after I do all this I add some drum parts, and a bass and maybe piano or guitar. I think it's good practice. It kind of got me thinking tonight that I'd like to get a drummer over here and record just drums and vibes.

Any it's a practice recording, not perfect, but maybe interesting to listen to. Towards the end you'll hear me struggle for a second and get it back together.

This Week

Hey Tony,

Thanks for fixing the video for me. Just wondering what your schedule was like this week, thought maybe we could get together later in the week and talk more about Stella. Talk to you soon! Great vibes hang yesterday!

Behind the title, comes a version of Beirut from Steps Ahead, in a 2008 Line-up.

I really love the hardcore (?) version of the head, I really dig the attitude and sound of the guitarist ;-) (I saw him in Paris june 2008) I was waiting all the tune for a rip off rock solo...
what do you think of this version ?
I think this DVD is very valuable... I haven't seen it yet in Fance.
