Hi all!
I recently re-recovered Moondog's Bird'S Lament and I thought maybe someone here might have a lead sheet of this song?
If so please be so kind to drop me a line, thanks a lot, cheers Stefan
Hey guys thought i'd pass on this link to 2 videos from Stefon Harris at PASIC 2010!
Enjoy!
Here is a sample of my gig from Monday night. The vibes are loud in the recording because of the proximity to the amp. Sorry.
Dana Sudborough - vibes
Dave Zoller - piano
Jonathan Fisher - bass
Andrew Griffith - drums
Hi guys.
Here's a clip of a gig I did on Saturday night. The band is called the Ash Hunt Quartet (he's the trumpet player), with me on vibes, Pete Hutchison on bass and Rod Oughton on drums.
I'd love any feedback anyone has.
Sorry the video gets out of sync - I'm not sure why that happened. I was having some trouble with Windows Movie Maker, in it's infinite cinematic glory (not). At least you can hear it though.
Here is another video from a gig I did in May.

In one of my received emails, I noticed these words that really hit home, for me and I know will touch all of your feelings. I think that it would be nice for Tony miceli to set up a program for all of us to submit an original melody line using the words of this article.
Upon receipt of all sent in materials, there should be a vote made to see who composed the most accepted version. he best part about it all is: (THERE WILL NOT BE A PRIZE) TO CHEAPEN SUCH POWERFUL WORDS). HERE IS THE ARTICLE that "PLATO" wrote!
Today I had to send some video for a TV show I might be performing in and thought I'd share these her too.
Hope you like it. This is from a gig I did in May 2010.

I just finished a collection of duets for vibes and electric bass. For this track the bass player suggested we use a modified bass that had lighter gauge strings. It sounds like a cross between a bass and a guitar. I thought the sound he got was unique and quite beautiful.
Simone was written by Frank Foster. I haven't heard it recorded much, which is a shame because it is an interesting tune that's a lot of fun to improvise on. Hope you enjoy this duet version!

At least according to Wired magazine -- check out http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/11/st_essay_nofreebird/.
I tend to agree. Paid-for music has now pretty much reached the ease-of-use it could've had in 2000. Now all that remains is to change the habits that were ingrained by the record companies treating customers as enemies. I don't know how long that will take.

I have a friend doing some research on quintessential vibe recordings, especially those before 1955. What do you think are the best, most important vibe recordings?
