Tony! This is for you! I practiced your etude one more time and decided to post it. It's not perfect but I tried my best.
Haven't you said the one who records it get a gift from the store? Your new mallets? ;-)

Shameless promotion ;-)

Last couple of weeks we have been busy finalizing the new midi system for our instruments.
We have just completed our first LW35 with embedded midi, and have prepared the gigVibe's design to be able to also carry the midi.

The system is a completely new design, a.o. it is smaller, so it fits inside the endblocks.
As it is now, it is only available for our instruments, but in the very near future it will also be available for other brands.

Fortune's Fool is the story of the record industry from about 1990 to the present, mostly by following the career of Edgar Bronfman, who got bored being a scion of the Seagram Liquor fortune and decided to take the company into the entertainment business. He eventually becomes (and still is, I believe) head of Warner Music.

This is an etude I've written a while ago. If someone is interested I maybe can post the music.

As you know I "follow" a bit the new members when they arrive. From the day he registered some 9 weeks ago, I always wondered... "For God's sake, but who is Monsieur 405"?!

Can you answer Ben? (please)

PS: in fact, I already know a few very interesting things, but hush... I will let him speak ;-)

Hi Everyone,
Wednesday, September 1st, is the second anniversary of JazzOn2 radio. To celebrate we will be airing some sample editions of our regular programming. A special one-hour edition of "Good Vibes" will be aired at 11:00 am eastern (US) time. I've pulled a couple of tunes from each of the first four "Good Vibes" shows, which began in May of this year. I will be playing Tony's "Nascimento," Joe Locke's "Alone Together" with vocalist Kenny Washington, Jay Hoggard's "Swing 'em Gates," and nine others. Hope you can listen in!

I am looking for an open minded mallet percussionist in the Minneapolis area
There are two central concepts
1- My experimental project called "PyroPlasticFlow"
2- A lounge band with the mallet percussionist as the lead instrument
Both would be electronically based with a complete multi-media package including video projection
The first would satisfy the artistic need
The second would earn us enough money for me to buy you a Mallet Kat (if you don't already have one)

I was writing to Dr. Bob (drbobm55) and he sent me back a great email. I liked one section of the letter especially and asked if I could reproduce it here. Dr. Bob said ok.

Hi All,

Here's another tune from a gig back in July -- I'll Remember April. In addition to me on vibes, we have Brett Baker on guitar, Mike Caruso on bass and Bruce Hanahan on drums.

Enjoy :-).

Anyone out there have BIAB with the real instruments?

Can you send me an mp3 of My Romance maybe about 6 choruses?

I just need it to sound good. Are the drums swinging? Maybe no piano, just drums and Bass?

If you can, leave a comment here so that everyone doesn't do it.

Thanks!
