Sticking Exercise

Here is a little piece of music(see attachment) from a theater show I'm doing n Januari. This is a short introuction to the third part of the show. I thought this would be a good exercise for sticking.

A lot of guys are always asking: "What sticking should I use?" The thing with sticking is that you can always do it in a lot of ways.

Green Dolphin Street - Jon Letsky

Hey Tony,

I feel good about the time and the head. I feel good about some of my lines in the soloing but I'd definitely like to work more on the solo accompaniement techniques next time we meet up. I recorded it a number of different times at different speeds and I think this is the tempo that it was the most "comfortable" at while listening back. I'd love to hear some suggestions to make it better!

Christmas Music for Tony, Nico and BarryK

READ THIS BEFORE PLAYING THE AUDIO:

I dedicate this to Tony because I think this is probably what Christmas Music sounds like inside his head after hundreds of gigs playing it (static); I dedicate it to Nico because he's a cool guy and it goes along with his recent post on resonators and Barry because he's an experimenter, and like me, he can't help it.

Bars, Resonators. Their behaviour and how to act with it.

Bars, resonators and their tuning.

Base of the vibes' sound ofcourse are the bars, and in a huge amount the (tuning of) the resonators.
I'll try to explain in the next article how to tune the bars, how to tune the resonators, and how to get the best benefit from the resonators.

Bars.

It is widely know that vibe bars have their fundamental tuned, and the first overtone to a double octave.

Mike Mainieri in Holland

Ok, guys after all you guys harrassing me about this here it finally is, my blog about Mike Mainieri...

Ok, so the first views of the master where at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam. A very nice jazzclub in Amsterdam. He was playing with a dutch trio led by Marnix Busstra(on Guitar) together with Eric van der Westen on Bass and Pieter Bast on Drums. A very good trio, which I had never seen before.
The concert was also the release of the cd they just recorded. They have recorded before in a more electrical setting, but this cd is just acoustic trio with Mike on Vibes.
