Here's an interesting photo from my gig last night. This is a town jazz festival. Check out this photo, anyone see anything wrong?
2 compositions for vibraphone and marimba by Franz Bauer that include improvised sections,
where players can decide to play the solos as written or use their own creative ideas instead. (level difficulty: medium)

Yet another pic, minus yours truly.
A pic of yours truly!
I laughed when I heard vibraman mention Franz's name (Franz is a new subscriber). He said, 'Man I thought I knew all the great players in Germany'.
There's a message here I think worth mentioning. Man be humble. You just never know who's sitting in the audience, or who's around the corner from you.
Hi All,
This is from a gig I did two Fridays ago, 5-March-2010. Me on vibes, Doug Sondak on alto, Richard Hale-Shaw on bass and Ed Conley on drums. It's a slightly twisted version of "All the Things You Are". I've attached the lead sheet for the arrangement, although the time changes should be easy enough to pick up.
It's a single mic recording so the mix isn't so great, I guess the mic was too close to the alto player, but you'll get the idea :-).

I had Mike Gordon over the house today. I didn't know much at all about Phish. But man some people worship this group huh??? He shot some video for our hand drum site. Any fans? I'll also put some on face book.
I was supposed to go to the concert tonight, but i got sick.
This is pretty amazing. Check out the chime solo in the middle. Man Rollini was a monster.
