Members of this wonderful community,
"Poinciana" - In the home music studio today playing the classic song from 1936. Two of my favorite versions are from great pianists Ahmad Jamal and Keith Jarrett.
Thanks Dana for putting this in the comments of part 1!
Now he is playing a xylophone. I'm sure it's a huge step to a vibraphone. The vibes are way hipper and way more complex than a xylophone! :-)
Rootbeer Lozano is one of a few vibe players I know down in Tampico, Mexico.
I met them in Patagonia and watched her school percussion ensemble play a beautiful concert. One of the best of the week! The group is led by Evaristo Aguilar an amazing teacher, percussionist. Their music is so heartfelt!
It's a drug cartel town. We went out to dinner and the first 2 restauraunts we went to were closed. I mean the owners ran away because they were approached by the cartel. Another we drove by had bullet holes all through the front of the building.
Who's playing vibes on this?
Hi All,
Fourth of July is coming up fast, and that means the July show is just before, on July 2. I'll play two different versions of "America," Mike Mainieri's from CD Crescent and Bob Masteller's recorded live at the Jazz Corner. I'm also paying my patriotic duty by playing the Modern Jazz Quartet and "The Watergate Blues," which they recorded on Echoes. I do hear the echo.
The first set is dedicated to the season. "Heat Wave," (Cal Tjader) "Summer Nights," (Bobby Hutcherson) and "Water Babies" (Joe Chambers).
