Recorded at the Vic Firth Headquarters on 12/8/17 for a FB Live Stream Masterclass and Performance.

This was videotaped last week at the Vic Firth headquarters. We had a little time before we went live for the Facebook Live Stream so I ran through two of my favorite Xmas songs from the Charlie Brown Christmas recording by the great Vince Guaraldi Trio. Merry Christmas to everyone and Best Wishes for 2018!

A session in Palermo, Sicily from 1980 with Ray Brown, Monty Alexander and Grady Tate. Milt at his prime digs into a an old time classic - Poor Butterfly - with his usual brilliance. There are a few quotes from various other tunes throughout; how many can you identify?

Essential Lines and Patterns for Soloing 

These are one of my go-to sets of mallets when I'm using the pickup system on my vibes, but I recently tried them on marimba and I LOVED the sound I was getting.

Any ideas of value ?
