Hey Folks,
I rarely do this, but just wanted to make a quick announcement that if you're in the NYC area tonight my Electric Project will be performing at Cornelia St. Cafe. This is a fun group where I play malletkat and synthesizers. I'll be joined by Sam Minaie on electric bass and Ari Hoenig on drums. One set at 8:30pm.

I just found this piture on Face Book, posted by John Pietaro and found very interesting to see certainly the first 4 mallet player in Adrian Rollini... that early!

From a comment on the picture by Paul Hansen "Rollini's piano chops gave him a very unique approach to early 4 mallet technique".

Still I learned in Gary's' book that Red Norvo had started 4 mallet and finally switched back to 2. The period seems roughly the same. Any idea?

An idea for lines in the Dorian mode. Maybe useful?

Just playing around with all this. I still want to transcribe a Gyil solo.

This is a little difficult for me.

I know this was posted on the Virtual Vibraphone Day of Percussion, but I thought it might not have been available to all Vibeworkshoppers. I wanted to demonstrate playing "Scrapple" solo, comping the melody and playing a solo, concentrating on clear melodic lines and consistent time; a tremendous challenge to all who attempt solo vibraphone playing, especially playing a bebop tune and making it swing.
