I found this in my archive. I think this is not on the site yet. It is an interview Tony did with Ed Saindon a while ago. I don"t know when, but maybe Tony can comment on this.

those solos look like some serious practice is coming by (again...)
I have the secret wish that Gary may have the time to say a word about it.

If anyone knows them and want to give me some advices, I'll be glad !

Here's Ed Saindon's version of 'It Might As Well Be Spring'.

Ok here's my version of 'It Might As Well Be Spring'. I've included an image from my Itunes song list. You can see how many versions I still have. I probably threw out just as many. I studied the $($% out of that tune. It was so inspiring to be hanging virtually with Ed and John and Studying tunes. Somewhere we discuss our tunes, I have to find that. It's not up here already is it?

Here's the next tune I thought we'd check out and study.

Ed Saindon's 'Life's Blessing'. I asked Ed if he would make a solo recording to get us started. Hopefully he will. Regardless let's all start checking this tune out and talking about it and practicing it like we did with Joe Locke's tune 'Sword of Whisper'.

Maybe Phillipe could make the play along!!!

So download the tune and start working on it. I'm sure Ed will give us a hand and talk about it. Maybe he'd even do an audio lesson for us?

Here we go!

Upon Gary Burton's suggestion, this is the first female vibist review! :o)

The biography of Marjorie Hyams is quite short. She was born in 1923 and as said Scott Yanow "if [she] had not retired prematurely, she would be much better-known today.

Birthday Cake
We all wish David Friedman a happy birthday.

I know I'm honored to have him here at vibesworkshop.com! What an honor for all of us to be able to chat and learn from him. He has been so kind to offer his time and energy and knowledge here.

Thank you so much David! Happy Birthday - (Tony Miceli)

(btw-Joe tipped me off!!!)

There is a lot of video on YouTube with Mr. Burton and Pat Metheny. Check it out:

I love "Question and Answer". Such a great blowing vehicle and catchy tune put together.
