This is the main theme i wrote for the main character who is a pessimistic, light alcoholic, detective who solves his cases more with luck than with his brain. a guy like columbo...you know what i mean.

Double in B Minor (Sonata II) - Bach Sonatas and Partitas for the Violin

ed saindon 1 December 2018

Bach: Double in B Minor (Sonata II) - Sonatas and Partitas for the Violin. Exploring and improvising on Bach's music today. I love Bach's music and his Sonatas and Partitas are among my favorites. I'm a big fan of Itzhak Perlman's recording of these Sonatas and Partitas. The students and I get a lot from studying and playing Bach's music as well as using some of the progressions in the pieces to improvise on. The harmony in his music is brilliant and contains beautiful inherent lines and a wonderful sense of logic.

"It Might As Well Be Spring" - Solo Vibraphone

ed saindon 29 November 2018

“It Might As Well Be Spring” - a great song by Rodgers and Hammerstein written for the 1945 film State Fair. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year. I was reminded of the song listening to the superb recording Last Dance by Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden. They play a beautiful version of the song. I’m using my signature mallets (M39) from Vic Firth. Very happy with how they sound in terms of clarity, fullness and the ability to extract nuance from the instrument at all dynamic levels.
