I just found this on Youtube. Had no Idea it was recorded. This was a gig I did in Israel about 3 or 4 years ago. It was a tribute to a wonderful Israeli jazz composer, Stu Hacohen, who had died several years ago. Check out Theodosil Spassov on Kaval, a bulgarian flute he's made famous. It was basically a jam with a short rehearsal to check out a couple of heads. It's totally raw but everybody had a great time playing together.

I know, the Chega solo by Gary has been watched a milion times... still I don't remember seeing this version on Youtube. I came to it thanks to Philppe Macé recent post from the site Ina.fr (the French TV Archives).

So far Vibesworkshop is not valid to post from ina.fr, so I can only give you the link here (unless Tony you can do something about it?): http://www.ina.fr/art-et-culture/musique/video/I09211845/gary-burton-ch…

This version is not live and was recorded on the ORTF studio on 31/08/71. Man Gary, just 40 years ago!!

This is an amazing video! Thanks for Phillipe Macé for this gem!

What a great night. We had about 30 vibe players in the audience at least to hear Gary Burton. The band was smokin' and Gary sounded great!!!

Most of the people in the picture are vibe players!

Hi everybody, While many of you were busy working on the blues, I went back to Fried Bananas. I was so disgusted with the first track I posted when it was TOTM, that I felt I needed to apply myself a bit more. For the past 4 weeks, I studied Dexter's solo like a madman. I didn't "transcribe" and write it down, I just played short passages that I liked, over and over, like exercises of sorts. I posted a take a week ago,and then I quickly deleted it because I thought it sounded pretty horrible. Is this one any better ? I really don't know.

Hello everybody!
i have a friend who just bought a new M55, and wants to sell his lovely old Premier (uniform bars). We are in argentina, so it's going to be difficult. Also, he's asking $3800 dollars, but i think it's too much. Does anyone of you know how much this baby would actually cost? Also it's going to be hard to find someone who's interested in it here in argentina, so it will probably end up in the US or somewhere else. Anyway, here are the pics he sent me:

Here is a study of the minor blues. Refer to the attached pdf during the audio segment.
