"Turn Out The Stars" by the great Bill Evans. One of my favorite compositions from Bill. I remember seeing him many times at the Jazz Workshop in Boston. First with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morrell or Eliot Zigmund and after with Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera. I sat right next to the piano. Talk about inspiration. Besides Berklee, going to the Jazz Workshop almost every week was an important part of my jazz education.

Since Tony was talking about vibe trio playing......

I know none of you can go but it's pretty exciting to know that there is a v i b e concert taking place in McMurdo Station, Antarctica this Friday.

We talk about grips a lot. I think mine is the best. Right? I should shouldn't I?

Check out Mike's. I think in anyone else's hands this grip would have so many problems. But Mike makes it sound like the best grip in the world. He uses a pick up system to play, keep that in mind. I would imagine it's hard to bang hard on the instrument with that grip.

Here are 5 great vibe players who all have different grips.

Burton
Jackson
Mainieri
Feldman
Hutchinson

Joel is a musician for ALL musicians to listen to. I've worked with him and he blows me away every time. He's such a heavy, deep musician.
