Our friend Arvid on his Deagan 510

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.

King Reeves (vibes) & Charlie Wilson (pno) play "Monk's Dream."

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.
