Let's talk about your feet.

I'd like to begin a discussion about feet. Your feet and how you deal with them when you're playing. Vibes players may be at risk for foot and back problems because we are often standing on one foot with the other on the pedal. The weight distribution is very unbalanced. Has anyone had problems with either foot, leg, hip or back pain? What did you do about it? What helped? What didn't? What kind of shoes do you wear while playing? Do your feet stink?

Forum Topic: Who is Philippe?

Philippe,

I read part of your incredible and huge Blog in French. Plus seeing you online and so active since your arrival, I think it'd more than fair if you could let us have your story in one page (not an easy exercice huh?)! :o)

I'd love it see you in the Who is book!

Pleeaaase!!! :o)

Ed Saindon at The JazzSchool - Body & Soul

Hello everyone,

This video footage is from a concert that featured veteran pianist Dick Whittington and myself on vibes. Dick is a long time pianist of the West Coast jazz scene who has played with many of the legends in jazz. Dick was instrumental in starting an educational jazz music program in the Berkleley, California school system during the 60’s. He was also the owner and host of the Maybeck Recital Hall which presented more than 40 concerts of solo pianists which were released on the Concord Jazz label.
