Hey everyone!

Been a while since I've been up on here unfortunately, but I have some exciting news!

I'll be back in New York for some gigs to release the album I recorded at Bennett Studios last December - BURBANK.

If anyone is in New York TONIGHT (November 25th) I'll be playing at Somethin' Jazz Club on west 52nd St 8.30pm -10.00 with some great cats!

Look forward to seeing anyone there!!

Here's the second hour from the October '11 Good Vibes radio program. The hour opens and closes with some dynamite Terry Gibbs. Did you know someone nicknamed him the Energizer Bunny of Jazz?

Reminder: The November show will air again on Sunday, Nov 27 and Wed, Nov 30. These are extra dates.

December will air at its usual time, Sunday, Dec 4 and Wed, Dec 7.
Sundays are 8-10pm eastern and Wednesdays are 4-6pm eastern.
Enjoy,
Gloria

Hi Everybody,

I am posting the Good Vibes radio program on the site for you to listen to at your leisure. This is the first hour. Because of the size I believe I have to post each hour separately.

I'm going to meet Vince Montana in a couple weeks. Just curious if you guys know who he is and he did. He's a real pop vibraphonist. And he's a great player. This video is from 1978 and he's using tracks! He has made a ton of money in the music business and he's a great musician!!

Can you guys find any info on him and post links here. He's a very credible vibraphonist even if he went the pop route. He's a great pop writer and on and on! He's serious.

Hello Vibists!
I'm searching a vibraphone as small (thin bar), cheap and old (second hand) as possible. Preferably in Europe because of the shipment costs. If anybody have some information about it I would be very grateful!
Thanks, Hugs!

I think I've posted this before but I'm not sure. This would make a great EOTM (Exercise of the Month). Might not be as easy as it looks. The left hand plays the double stops.

This is a tune I have been working on for a few weeks just to get a handle on, I have kept it simple with an Aebersold backing track, I hope to do more with it like comping the chords filling in the gaps and just use bass and drums but I thought I might post what I have so far. Comments welcome

Peter and I often play a free piece as an opener for our duo concerts. It's a real challenge, however, to play a tonal free piece. This is what we did here. It ended up sounding like a song of some sort. I have no idea where this recording comes from. I found it somewhere on my computer.
Hope you enjoy it.

Hi, Today I spent some hours adapting Monk's Just a Gigolo, from a recording. It's not as well played as it could be (I need to work at it again), but I'll post it all the same. When I'm ready, I'll add an impro, but the time is not right yet. I'm still struggling through Tony's exercises, learning the ABC's. Monk plays some hip things, like he harmonizes the first note of the tune (C) with AbMaj_A7#9. I like those sounds. I think they come out very well on the vibraphone.
