Here's a video I promised...... Who did I promise! Anyway more on the separating of the hands and playing. Totally inspired by watching David Friedman and listening to him at the workshops and listening to him.

Dear all,

Here are some news from Joe Locke: about to play a gig in Winnipeg, he had to undergo an emergency appendectomy.

Luckily, all went fine. He'll have to stay in the hospital for 3 days and then on his way home for recovery.

His manager Tom Marcello nicely kept us informed and just gave us those latest good news...

Let's all wish Joe a prompt recovery, good times back and to see him back on board... and on stage!!

Hi ,

This video is somewhat special for me... It's the last time I played vibes ! As some of you know, I'm now in Warsaw without a vibes since October.

So just before leaving France, I recorded this in my parent's living room with a good friend of mine.
I tried to put into application what I learned from the TOTM My romance.

A little concept exercise.

Warren is a pretty heavy cat in my book!

I think Diane plays this just great. The melody is so beautiful that we decided not to take any solos. I like it when singers just play a ballad straight down, one time.

Hi all!

As you might know I recently became dad of a cute baby son which makes me very happy BUT at the same time it keeps me off the vibes. Anyway I try to keep in touch with music by playing guitar (much lower volume possible) and today at the office the idea popped up to play Tony's Song for Meg in a 4/4 rhytm. What you hear is something like a practice tape with the first attempts to play it this way. I simply wanted to give a proof of life and share the idea.

So sorry no vibes involved but I will try to get back to the vibes soon
