ME AND THE DUKE

This is a recording from back in February of a group that I play with. Me on Vibes, Robert Redmond on trumpet, Eddy Streck on Kit, and Sam Hinson on bass.
The attachment is of the same group playing the same tune 3 months earlier. Its funny to see how far we came in that short period of time. We need to do a more current one.

Free CD to any vibraphonist who shows up to the gig!

sometimes i meet with a friend and we try to practice together.since i´m working on solar at the moment we decided to play this song really slowley.he wanted to check out his bossa comping on guitar thats why in the middle of the recording nothing much happens as solo.so it is more a practice tape then anything else...but i thought i can post it anyway.unfortunatley i forgot to turn on my stereo microphons so the sound is poor cause it´s only through the internal zoomh4 mics.

Hello everyone,

we all had a tune, and tony sometimes posts some of his practice tapes which i think is a good idea.today i tried to work out some things of the tune solar.please remember it´s just a rough and unedited practice tape...one take, means lots of mistakes, no right timing etc. but at least i thought there are some good moments in it.i wish i could do a tape with only good moments in it :)

Hi All,

Here's a duo recording of "Invitation" I made with my friend Mike Caruso on guitar. Please forgive my brain freeze in the ending, and the rattling of the connector rod on my vibes (fixed now via a vanderPlas damper pad). Otherwise, I think it came out pretty good :-). Constructive criticism appreciated...

Only 1. What would it be? Just one.

Forget the desert island, let's just say you're going away for 6 months and for whatever reason you can only bring one cd with you. (Just a way to build a best of list)

Hmmm and how about this: once the CD is posted you can't take that CD. That will help us build an interesting list of cds, I think.

My pick would be 'Alone - Gary Burton'.

I've been doing the U Arts summer camp program. This year for some reason was a hard year. I'm not sure why, however, I'm done after tomorrow (friday) and then I'll get back to posting my usual barrage of stuff here!
