I wasn't really sure whether or not to post this. It's a very different kind of accountability today, I guess.
I recorded it for my girlfriend who just lost HER best friend - a very dear pet of hers who passed yesterday from liver cancer. Posted it on her FB wall with the lyrics...
"Olhos De Gato” by Carla Bley - one of the first songs I learned with Gary Burton when I was studying with him in the 70s. I was very fortunate to be able to attend Berklee. I started in 72 and Gary had started teaching there the year before.
Endless Island is David Friedman (vibraphone) and Jeremy Friedman (drums/electronics), a father son duo presenting a new turn in progressive electronic jazz, steeped in organic groovescapes and powerful free-form improvisation.
Did I post something like this recently.
I'm so busy I can't remember! But here's another one!
Here's number 24! Let me know what ya'll think!

Morgan is a great young musician! She sat at a computer and transcribed this with no instrument. Then she adapted it for the vibes and then she played it!
Great version by my student. He's mainly a drummer but doing great on vibes. He takes nice solos and knows quite a bit about harmony.
Hi vibes lovers today i'd like to talk about my approach to odd meter showing you a couple of grooves that I wrote.
remember to break down the odd meter in smaller groups of 3 and 2 (e.g. 7=2+2+3 or 2+3+2 or 3+2+2)
Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!

This is a recording of my new marimba solo piece, Charlie Chaplin, performed by the wonderful young marimbist, Ayami Okamura. We did this at my house. We plan to do a more professional recording in the middle of October.
I love her groove, a quality missing in too many classical marimbists.
