hey all ... its been a while since ive been able to check whats happening here out ... long story short .. i am currently moving to southern oregon. my wife and i found a farm in the country out side of the town she works in. This is blessing for me ...ive played music down in that area for years and have always looked forward to return..

anyways ..after downloading solar i thought i would take a stab at it. this is my first take of the tune .. ages since i played the tune .. my approach was improvisation .. hint at the melody but dont state it .. think themes and variations...

Hello from Puerto Rico ,this my video playing vibes and some latin percussion(my main thing jjj),this is by Tony's request because I am very shy to put it here ,this was taped for an audition to NYU (I got accepted but can't afford the tuition aoucchh ) ..just leave comments in order to give me advice and constructive critic with all good intentions. Thank you all in good vibes

My M55 will be appearing at the Iowa City Jazz Festival this year. I won't. I'll be backstage all nervy and excited to be among the professionals. At times like that I have the appearance of a one year old yellow labrador retriever banging my tail on some-one's bass drum without any regard for how bad my time is or how really annoying I am.

After about three minutes of tough negotiating I agreed to loan my M55 to Steve Nelson.

We also have a bunch of lessons that will be coming online.

Hi, from Puerto Rico,having a lot of fun in this site

There have been a couple of nice ballads posted recently - Ed Saindon's performance of "Body and Soul" and Tony's great interpretation of "Come Rain or Come Shine". Well, here's another one, a version of "Lament" by J.J. Johnson. This track is from my new CD titled "Cerulean Blue".

Since I will soon be performing the tango music of Astor Piazzolla, I thought some of you might enjoy seeing the vibraphone part for one of the pieces. FUGA Y MISTERIO is an energetic, contrapuntal piece of medium difficulty, so most players here at VW can play along with the recording if you want to give it a try. In fact, that is how I am practicing the pieces as I get ready for the concerts that are coming up.

This is a brass group playing and singing Bohemian Rhapsody. If you're a brass fan or a Queen fan, you'll dig this.

This comes from a DVD "Live at the Quick"

Some more pan music. According to the person who posted the video, He is playing on the Swiss pan layout that he hasn't played on before. I can barely get around a regular pan set-up. It makes my brain hurt :( lol
