This Saturday we’ll have a vibesworkshop vibe hang at my house. If you are a Philly vibe player or you are in the area, feel free to come by. Email me for my address.

It will also (technology permitting) be streaming online as well.

See you there!

hi,
we had a preview gig with this band yesterday to test some things out for the music i wrote for the detective novel, which will have premiere on the 30.12.2018

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.

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.

Deagan, with the motor on and two mallets. As Milt said, that’s a vibraphone.

“Da Blues” - warming up today on my favorite set of vibes at Berklee. An old, beat up but great sounding vibe that we bought used many years for $1,500.
