Alexey just posted this quarantine video. Exeptional playing and beautiful music. It's the first time i see a vibraphonist really playing 5 mallets, that is, doing something really musical. Enjoy !
“Blue Monk” - it’s been nice having more time to revisit some recordings and transcriptions in the studio library. A few of the greats that I’ve been delving into are Coltrane, McCoy, Chick and Herbie. So much great stuff to learn, grasp and try to assimilate. Here’s a clip with that in mind.
I've been working on the first four chords of "Fine and Dandy" and tonight I decided to jam on them in Bb. I've also been learning about improving my audio quality for recordings and learning how to pair audio and video with iMovie. So...here is a silly little jam. Enjoy!
At the last coffeehouse we talked about audio equipment, so I'll share how I made this:
The books I refer to in the video, if you want to take a deeper look into the mechanics and math of music are:
"Cosmometry, Exploring the HoloFractal Nature of the Cosmos" by Marshall Lefferts.
"Interference - A Grand Musical Scientific Theory" by Richard Merrick available at: http://interferencetheory.com/files/Interference.pdf
I was swapping emails with Arvid in Norway until the time he moved back to his homeland Germany. This was under 10 years ago and I remember that he posted his new email address either at this site or at the former Vibe.net site, but I failed to copy it down and as a result lost track of him.
I was searching for players who play the Deagan 510 just to see if anyone popped up, and lo and behold - it's Arvid from two years ago. No contact info other than being a subscriber to his YouTube channel, so if anyone has contact info please let me know.
"One Note Samba" by Antonio Carlos Jobim - Sunday morning session playing Jobim songs. I'm a big fan of the great Brazilian composer.

We've been doing mini concerts on Facebook.
Here is mine from April 18th, 2002
My wife and I like to watch British murder mysteries. In many of these, the preferred form of dispatch seems to be blunt objects to the head, hence "Bonk Bonk".
This is a local duo from several years back based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I think what I like the most about this particular performance is that they really tap into the eccentricity of playing a Monk tune. Although both of them play well, I have to give high props to Charlie on piano who really makes it work with his accompaniment. King (nicknamed Bowl around here) pulls together what Milt would play with a nice dash of Hutcherson thrown in.
Not very good video quality although the sound is acceptable. The performance is more than acceptable.
