Checked out Burton tonight at the Blue Note. He played with:
Gary Burton, vibraphone
Julian Lage, guitar
Scott Colley, bass
Antonio Sanchez, drums
It was a GREAT concert. The band was smokin', and every took great solos, but I was especially blown away by Gary and Julian. The last tune of the night was Bags Groove and Gary took a great solo that really reminded me why he's so unique. He really has his own vocabulary!
Here is another:
Hello Everyone,
For those of you in the Philly area, or expect to be here in November, please join Michael and me at the Riegelsville Inn on Saturday, November 13th. The Riegelsville Inn is a great little place right on the Delaware in Bucks County with a delicious menu, and three different dining areas; the crowded bar with a neighborhood feeling, the cozy dining rooms with fireplaces, and outdoor seating along the canal in good weather. It's one of our favorite places.
Hey Everyone,
Tony asked me to do another etude with a Blue Bossa theme. You will find that this etude is loosely based on Blue Bossa, with a few alterations (some reharmization and interludes). Hopefully, this may give a few ideas for those who are working on the TOTM. I recorded a version of it, and the pdf is attached. Please fire away with any questions. Enjoy!

Another great lesson from Gary Burton! This is Part 1, so more is on the way!
I just picked up this old set of Jenco vibes. I studied Marimba and a little bit of Vibes while in college as a percussion major. Gifford Howarth was my teacher. Anyway, I have always been a jazz drummer and a fanatic of jazz. In an effort to get better at vibes and not waste the four years I spent practicing mallets I found this puppy in the Upper East Side of New York and snatched it up.
As you can see it needs some TLC.
