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

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-

I've brought back a little piece from my trip in Argentina.
I met there a wonderful marimba player called Mauricio Bernal.
He has made an interesting work on the traditional music from Venezuela and Paraguay on the marimba.
the clarinette player is an old friend, argentinian too. He's name is Matias Marcipar.
the piece is called "petites notes"

I was working on some concepts Tony showed me in a lesson, specificly using the half whole scale in the V chord of a II V I. Recorded a drum track and put the vibes over it, just working on soloing over solar.

Further ideas about playing over a minor IV to I resolution in jazz.
