Hi there,

"free housing" means you will have a sleepover by friends of mine or students from the university.
It doesn´t mean, you will have your own private suite, shower, roomservice and others :D
...are you familiar with couch-surfin´???

For all who are still interested please let know, I´m tryin´ to get you in:)
So far it´s:
Andru, Dimitri, Israel, Hauke, Stefan, right?
@ Marie: which dates shall book the hotel for?

All the best and looking forward to see all of you,

Matthias

Has anyone else seen this on ebay recently?

though it says it's a jenco, I can't find any nameplate, and it looks SCARINGLY like the leedy vibraphone on exhibition at the PAS museum (the first vibraphone ever made):

Another birthday this week. Jazz Giant Bobby Hutcherson was born on this day in 1941.

Let's send him thoughts of good will, good health and of course, good vibes!

hey,
saturday i had a very nice gig in an old castle. the atmosphere was great and people were really listening. i like the arrangement of this tune (by our guitar player) even though it´s very simple.listening back i think it´s much too long if we go for 3 solos but we all wanted to do a solo here :)

I have been practising this week how to play with a vibes trio using harmonies, left hand etc. and I came up with some ideas posted below. I am going to play with a trio and I am trying to make the vibes sound full, not only lines!

I am not perfect at that but these ideas helped me a lot. When I play with the trio i will post!

Thanks
