This is a trio of mine, recorded on my senior recital this april. We're playing my trio arrangement of a really hip John Hollenbeck tune called "After a dance or two we sit down for a pint with Gil and Tim".
Enjoy,

I played on a great instrument tonight in Ireland. It's a Premiere. I forget the model, but it's an incredibly portable instrument. And I think it sounds really good. What bummed me out and caused me to write this blog tonight is John told me that Premiere stopped making this instrument 6 years ago. I've played on this instrument here for the last 4 years and have fantasized about someday owning one. Easy to set up and move around. I also think it has a nice sound.
i just want to buy a new set of microphones. i already got 2 small condenser´s for vibes or drum overhead the akb2000b which sound good so far. but i´m thinking about to buy a set of rode nt5 also small condenser. on the other hand i heared by various people (like randy from the site) he records vibes with 2 large capsule condensers like the rode nt1. i already got one rode n1 but the old modell. but since they are cheap like 180€ per micro i´m thinking about buying 2 of them.
Short answer: Probably not, but if we do all the things we should be doing as players, we will impress an audience. It should be a byproduct of what we are doing, not the focus.
Somewhat more diffuse, longer answer:
Performing music, specifically jazz, is an artistic form of communication.
There is a lot in the prior sentence.
Here is a video of one song from the concert Gary did at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland on the 10th of july 2011. It's a Monk Tune(as you can probably hear) but I forgot the title. Maybe Gary or Tony can fill that in?
The line-up for this gig was:
Gary Burton - Vibes
Julian Lage - Guitar
Jorge Roeder - Bass
Antonio Sanchez - Drums
Enjoy!
