Available in Blue - New Joe Locke solo vibes piece - by David Johnson

This piece is from Joe Locke's "Six New Pieces for Solo Vibraphone" available for sale on his website - joelocke.com. I met Joe for the first time at PASIC (Percussive Arts Society International Convention) held a few weeks ago and had a chance to chat with him for a bit. He mentioned these new fully composed works for solo vibraphone and said that he was looking forward to hearing some other players interpretations. So Joe - this one's for you. Hope you like it. It's a great composition and much fun to play!

Recording radio programs from the Internet

Hi All,
I just discovered a website that will record a radio program from the Internet so that you can listen to the radio anytime you want. This would be great for the Europeans who want to listen to my show, Good Vibes, but find the time very inconvenient (like the middle of the night). You can find it at www.dar.fm. I have not tried it yet so I can't vouch for its reliability. If anyone does try it, let me know if it was successful.
The website is www.jazzon2.org. Good Vibes will air on Sunday, December 2, 8-10pm eastern
and again on Wednesday, Dec 5, 4-6pm eastern.

Uneven Surface by MetroWest Jazz Project

Here's another of my original compositions from the CD I'm working on -- "Uneven Surface".

When we started in this project we decided that we were going to do music that was a bit beyond our abilities, and this piece is probably the most difficult one we did. I'm not sure if the decision to do difficult music was a good one for producing a CD, but it has been very good for our growth as musicians. If anyone has opinions on good strategies (stay safe or go for the triple Salkow), I'd love to hear them.

At any rate, enjoy and constructive criticism greatly appreciated.
