Fresh from this morning, an exercise in cool jazz. A long-distance session with my pal J.B. I sent him the vibes-bass track, he added the piano, and then I added the drums.

Chris Farr - sax
tony miceli - vibes
tom lawton - piano
micah jones - bass
jim miller - drums

Hi, Can someone tell me about the Adams SV1 Soloist Vibraphone, 3.1 octaves? is the frame easy to disassemble and re-assemble for gigs? Thanks, J Maffia

Interesting because we've been talking about playing solo.

Denny is also a psychiatrist and a great pianist. He wrote the tune in the Real Book 'Quiet Now'.

Here's a quick lesson on stuff I'm working on. Just passing it on for whatever it's worth!

Hi everybody. It's been a long time, I know. I went into hibernation for a couple of months in order to study that book by Hal Galper, Forward Motion. I did some artwork (pastels, a real cool hobby)as well and so I lost touch with all of you guys. I'm really ashamed. Here is some Body and Soul I played yesterday, over a comping tape that my piano-player friend JB Mira made for me (bass and dms are Real Tracks). Here it is. I promise to come back on the site more regularly.

This time I hope to get some feed back for as you know Jazz has been my life. I will be 86 yrs old October 13th and I am still trying to find different things to play on songs that I have been playing all my life (Not Easy). Now what I am about to say will throw a curve to a lot of your members but I say this from experience and I will try to explain what I am about to say as best as I can.

"YOU CANNOT TEACH ANYBODY TO REALLY PLAY JAZZ!" What you can teach them is how to compose, write songs. Back in the 50's I had a student that played the Vibes pretty good and now wanted to play jazz.

Cool tune!

Apparently kids from all over the world are playing the Glock! :-)
