Listen to Ludvig, you'll hear that he's been checking bebop and the language!!
Everybody knows Norbert!!!
Antonio is a timpanist from spain who is working on his vibe playing. To me he has a solid foundation, as I think you'll hear. It was great to work with him!
I think it's good for you guys to check all these players out from around the world, don't you think?
Part 2 of the Ireland workshop. I have a fantastic group of adult musician. I'm amazed at the level of musicianship here. I think they must have a great music program in the schools here, because of the musicianship. I also have a couple of classical pianists with phenomenal ears! It's great to work with just a bunch of vibe players, and then switch over to a general group of musicians. Focusing on the vibes.
The other thing is the vibesworkshop was all guys. So we got a little rough and tough with the words, but a coed workshop I have to be on my toes and be respectful!
Guys,
Nick Mancini is my latest Face Book friend. I came across this recent video of him and just went: wow!!! That guy can swing!!
Enjoy,

On my way to work this morning this tune came up on my iPod. I hadn't heard it in a while and it blew me away again just like the first time -- I had to listen to it again (and again, 5 times total I think :-)). This was from a thing Tony got started a few years ago where he, Ed and Piper would do a "quick and dirty" recording of the same tune. I hope Ed doesn't mind me reposting it.
I found this video on Ed Mann's Facebook page this morning of a performance by the CalArts Percussion Ensemble. Nice piece and performance. Click here for the video.

I set this instrument up today and it hit me. It's a Premiere. Here's a photo of the instrument: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/node/4295/
This is easier to set up than the M55. It sounds great and is a little smaller. That means it will fit in a smaller car. I bet it would even fit in a cooper. I just realized that I would love to have this instrument. And the cases are beautiful. I'm looking into them and will pass the news on!
What we really do at vibe hangs!
A Serious Photo for Premiere. Premiere helped with the workshop this year. Thanks Premiere!
