Recording with Tony Miceli and David Friedman

Time

I"m doing a recording in Dusseldorf with David Friedman. We decided to make it a sort of live concert. But we'll only invite 20 people I think. Any VW members interested? Gonne be around Dusseldorf? Now sure if they are charging to tickets, I think they might be.

Let me know if you want to come? The audience will be in the recording studio with us. Matthais says there is room.

The recording is Monday, November 26, probably starting around 7 PM.

The beginning of a regular blog: arranging, the vibes, and you

What's up vibesworkshop? As many of you know, I am up in Philly studying with the man himself, Tony Miceli. Tony and I spend a good deal of our lesson time in conversation about the instrument, music, and life. He asked me to start a blog and discuss things that I am working on and some concepts I use while arranging and playing. So this is entry numero uno. And I wanted to talk about arranging.

Forum Topic: Jazz Soul Coalition - Steve Shapiro - New band! New video! No gigs!

Hey VW peeps,

Got some nice footage from a recent gig, with some of my very favorite players. And there's more featuring vocalist Vaneese Thomas from Aretha Franklin's band, who sang with us. If folks are interested, I will post that when it is available.

Trying to figure out how to keep this going. Anyone with some ideas on how to bring the vibes to the people, please chime in! LOL All you cats in Europe..I'd love to take this band over there!
