Hello everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I just uploaded some new videos to YouTube. The videos are from my May 7th clinic and concert with Philippe Mace at the conservatory in Paris. Here's the link to my YouTube page which lists the videos: http://www.youtube.com/edsaindon

Here’s a list of what was just uploaded:

Clinic: Solo Vibraphone Playing, The Fulcrum Grip, Sticking Concepts for the Vibraphone, Dampening Techiques on the Vibraphone

Concert: My Funny Valentine (solo vibraphone), Invitation, Hope and The Days of Wine and Roses (Philippe on marimba and me on vibes)

Hello everyone.

This is so swinging. I decided to transcribe it tonight and put it through the routine.

Sonny Stitt is a monster. He swings so hard. This one chorus, just kills me!

I quickly put it down in finale. it might not be perfect. Usually I just play along and learn it and never write it down, but I wanted to post it.

If you dig it like I do, you'd do yourself a real service if you figured it out yourself without the music. But whatever. In case you just want to have a look, it's here.

PART 4

Academic but still might be interesting to anyone studying Giant Steps.

Doc Chittum is a very loved faculty member at Uarts. He does a lecture each year where he ties Giant Steps all the way back to Mozart. The lecture is pretty amazing. This is a 4 part excerpt from the lecture. In the lecture he hands out music and shows this lineage that's really incredible!

From a recent online concert.

Here's the mini workshop from after the concert we did the other night. Steve talks about bass lines, playing without a bass player and learning tunes.

Hey everyone... it's been a while since I've been on the site. Trying to get back into the swing of things here and to catch up on all the stuff of missed.

This isn't a vibes video, but it is a great video of a bunch of extremely talented guys out of Basil, Switzerland. These are GREAT drummers... check them out!
