I had a great talk with Ed via email. We talked about whether the vibraphone was on it's last leg or not.

I won't go into our conversation yet, because I'd like to hear what you guys have to say first.

I waited for New Years day to post this. What's the future of the instrument? How do we save it? Can it be saved? Is it fine and I'm just trying to create hype? Is it truly a babe magnet???

Sorry for bad recording quality!

Here's a great animation based on Coltrane's Giant Steps. Not really vibe related but then it's music related so it counts right?

Here's the lead sheet for Song for Meg

Check this out. What do you guys think?

This exercise sums up a lot of things I talk about. Give it a shot. Get behind your instrument as I talk.

I've been listening to Wagner's 'Tristan and Isolde' and Charlie Haden's new cd 'Ramblin' Boy' and they've been blowing me away.

Sometimes leaving your universe and going to another is such a good thing.

I think we'll be having another vibe hang this saturday! I think Behn Gillece will be here and I'm trying to get Patty Franceschi and maybe a couple other players from the area over.

Also Marc Prz will be on bass. I'm hoping for 1pm east coast USA time. As it gets closer we'll zero in more on the actual time.

The Vibe Hang Will Be Here
