Gary plays Red Norvo's Dance of the Octopus. Wait till you hear this!
Yes yet another version. We videoed this for some promo we're doing. Great players so I thought I'd post it.
Diane Monroe - Violin
Tony Miceli - Vibes
Tony Marino - Bass
Todd Isler - Percussion
Since Gary has been posting about Red, I thought I'd add this podcast. It was done by National Public Radio and they have about fifty other similar podcasts about jazz artists available for free download from their website (www.npr.org). Just search for the program called Jazz Profiles. They're very informative and are a fun listen.
Hope you enjoy.

A wonderful article by Gary Burton all about Red Norvo - Tony Miceli
RED NORVO 1908-1999
This is just so good, I had to share it. And with Larry Bunker on drums, who of course was also a great vibist.
I continue to find wonderful historic jazz performances on YouTube. It's an amazing resource in that regard. If you want more, there are a lot of great clips linked as favorites on my page: http://www.youtube.com/VibraphonicMusic

If any mallet players are around the nyc area tomorrow night, please stop by and have a glass of vino and check the music out. I'll give a free CD to any vibe player that shows up. If you stay long enough you can check out Lage Lund's trio afterward.
