The Brain

I think most of us know a few things about the brain based on recent research. We know that when you stop practicing something, stop solving a problem, the brain does not stop. I've been working out a few things lately and I've got to see that in action.

I hope you guys realize that step one of working out a problem is to play it and show yourself the problem, spend some time trying to fix it and then finally walk away from it. Let the brain work on it. Next day it's better.

Good Vibes Radio update May '16

Time

Hi Everyone,
How fast these past six years have gone by! This May we will be celebrating six years of Good Vibes! And they said it couldn't be done.
Anniversary shows celebrate the past year of vibes. So we have two tracks from Behn (two different CDs) and two tracks from Hendrik Meurkens (one on the harmonica). Gary is featured on "Once Upon A Summertime," Rusty Burge on "Goodbye Porkpie Hat," and Steve Pouchie on "A Mis Contrarios." Tony, Arthur Lipner, Jason Marsalis, Steve Hobbs and Mark Sherman turn up as well. And so much more.

Beautiful Vibe and CD Etude Book and CDs

I wanted to mention this beautiful series by Kjell Samkopf.

Kjell sent me the books and the CDs. No strings attached. Which is great because I can rarely listen to CDs sent to me. For once I was actually bored and put on one of his CDs and really loved what I was listening to! Not tunes, not jazz but really great music. I was really impressed and thought I should pass this along to you guys. So check it out!
