This is "Portanto", a tune by myself played in a São Luiz Jazz Festival in Lisboa the last 1st of April with a combo of the school where I'm studying.

The band is:

Fábio Almeida: alto sax
Luis Miguel: tenor sax
Marcel Pascual: vibraphone
Ricardo Pinto: piano
Diogo Dinis: double-bass
Nuno Oliveira: drums

The sound and image of the video is not so good, but well, there was a concert.

Some ideas on what to think about when comping underneath the melody.

I just got the info through FB... Teddy Charles left us on Monday at age 84...

Here is a link about it: http://suffolktimes.timesreview.com/2012/04/31512/jazz-great-teddy-char…

And a link to what we have about him on the site: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/node/6887/

RIP...

Surely very few vibists would not put in their 'To-do Life Time List': "See Gary Burton on stage at least once". This wonderful thing finally happened to me yesterday: Paris and the beautiful Salle Pleyel were welcoming Gary and Chick, as part of their '40th Duet Anniversary Tour'.

Hey guys.
Do you feel like comping? You can comp on mine and you can record a solo and then I comp your solo. I think that is the best way to practise comp and try to create melodies over the chords by listening to the soloist (the faster tracks is just for practise and fun!).Tell me what you think!

Thanks

Hey guys, I just practised on nicas dream with a play along.
Hope you like it!

Thanks

Question for Michael Pinto: On "Manalgamation" do you keep the pedal down for the entire piece ?

Hi everyone, here's a clip from a recent concert performing my composition Hope. The lead sheet can be downloaded from my website. Here's the link: http://www.edsaindon.com/documents/hope.pdf

Here's pt. 1 of comping. Keep it simple and tasty!

Wondering about your preferences for mallets... specifically mallets that aren't your 'primary set.'

Hi There-
