Hello everyone, videoclips have just been uploaded to my new Jazz Improvisation channel on YT. More clips related to jazz improv concepts as addressed in The Complete Guide To Improvisation will be added soon. Concepts in the book include Chord Tone Soloing, Tension Resolution, Chord Scale Theory, Chord Scale Application & Practices and Harmonic Practices.

I had an amazing and busy summer.

I can inform all of you including Gary Burton and Dave Friedman who talked about the demise of the vibraphone that it is still out there and strong. Sure not like a guitar, but it's there and WE are all having an effect on that.

You guys along with me are playing and talking about the instrument and we're making a difference. I think the instrument has grown a lot in the last 7 years. I am so psyched by what I've seen this summer.

Hauke was is essen and i was lucky that he asked me to jam at my house. he´s a great guy and such a great great player already. we had fun and i switched on the cam for 2 tunes.
tony, we both agreed that this was just possible because you and your work made people meeting each other...thanks for that man!

Hey Y'all!

I had the great chance to meet Warren Wolf today during my lunch break! Warren had a few gigs in Paris this week and he was kind enough to come near my working place so we could meet! It was a very nice moment!

And... as for the other vibists who came over near my job, we took the now "traditional" picture in front of the Invalides Domes! Thanks a lot Warren for passing by! :o) And for those who didn't do it yet, check out his awesome work and great soul two mallet playing!
