Hi all,

Has anyone seen this Gary Burton Bootleg channel on Youtube? (Has Gary seen it?)

Wow! There are many live recordings from concerts in the mid-70's. All the great material from that era - with the Metheny 4tet and the Metheny-Goodrick 5tet. Check this out folks: what a schooling to hear these! Everyone sounds incredible...Gary & crew delivering amazing tunes night after night, and totally smoking!

There's also a video of Falling Grace with Chick in 1976, right around the time of Crystal Silence.

Enjoy !!

Hi, I'm just new to this forum and am really a jazz drummer rather than a vibes player but I've been lucky enough to have an old Premier vibraphone on loan for a while which I've been having a lot of fun with. I believe it's a 751 model but I have no idea how old it is. The current owner has now decided to sell and so he offered me the chance to buy it.

Jazz sous les pommiers 2013

What a great weekend we had. The festival is in a French town Coutances near the coast. It’s kind of the border between Bretagne & Normandy (hope I‘m correct here).

We arranged a room with 1 of the people volunteering to give rooms for the audience. It was organized by the tourism department. So we 1st went over there. I walked in and started my explanation. “Hey, I’m Stefan Vandenbe” “OOOOOH It’s you !!!, I’m Marilyn, we mailed”. OK, so they where expecting us apparently. J

i hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather .. oregon is gorgeous. im weeks away from gettin my cd done. here is another track that ..for your listen pleasure

I'm starting to learn this tune to sing with my guitarist friend in June. Not sure yet how much/if I'll add some vibes, but I felt like getting into the tune by learning the harmony. Here is a quick dirty audio of where I am so far. Still too much ringing but I can't manage to master that yet... Anyway, enjoy!
