Forum Topic: Want to try Xylosynth before purchase.

Does anyone have, or know of, a Xylosynth in my area that I could try?

Location: Abbotsford, BC, Canada (but I'm willing to go as far South as Seattle, Washington and as far West as North Vancouver, BC).

Looking to locally sell my M55 and purchase a 3 octave (F-F) Xylosynth, as I'm thinking of taking an extended trip to Australia and I couldn't stand being without a mallet instrument. Especially since I just spent the last year practicing to acquire a diploma on drum set, and missed playing my vibes the whole time.

Playing with Singers

We've talked about doing some lesson about working with singers. And they're coming, they're on my list.

I've spent the last month down here in St. Maarten working with a singer and a bass player. They're very close friends of mine whom I've known for a few years now.

Opus de Funk by Milt Jackson & Frank Wess (Happy Bday Mr Wess!)

Only 3 days after Milt's bdate, here we go with wonderful flute/sax master Frank Wess... who truly turned 90 today!!! Wow!!

And... what better pretext could we find to post Milt's Opus de Funk with Frank grooving on flute? Huh? ;-)

Happy Birthday Maestro Wess! Keep swinging! :o)
