Larrys' going to try his class again this Wednesday night. The topic will be RHYTHM CHANGES.

Come back here and I'll have the link to the workshop.

If you can attach a comment to this post and let me know if you're definitely coming.

We'trying to get an idea of how many people from Larrysimprovpage will attend the workshop. So to register, log in here and reply to this post with a comment telling us you'll be there.

From our online concert!

Check out Victor Provost messing around at home. He's a great Steel Pan player! He's backed up by the infamous Aebersold ensemble! You get a good shot of Victor's hands!

I'll be performing with 'Meg and the Cliftones'

Meg Clifton - vocals
Tony Miceli - Vibes
Kevin Hanson - Guitar
Jim Stager - Bass
Erik Johnson - Drums

John has posted one of his percussion ensemble arrangements over at www.vibesworkshop.com. It's free to members. And it's free to be a member. He said he'll only leave it up there for a little bit.

Ok, I set up my myspace page and thought ok. Then I started looking at it and then looking at others and started getting depressed because I don't have any friends. I do have friends on Facebook.

Over at www.vibesworkshop.com I have Vibe forums set up. Just for us vibe players.

I always feel funny bringing that up cause most of us hang out at thevibe.net. But that site scares me a little. When it goes down sometimes it's down for months, and then all that communication just stops.

In this episode of Percussion Geeks Mario Deciutiis talks about the Mallet Kat. He IS the ultimate electronic percussion geek!

Aug 24th - Violinist Diane Monroe Show time is 7pm. Watch concert.

"Monroe has a direct line to the soul of the music she performs. She is a real artist."

Also performing will be Tony Miceli (vb) and Steve Beskrone (bs)

Check out the Philly Sound Live!

This vibe hang we're doing on August 27th.... I talked with Mario over at Mallet Kat. We're old friends and we think alike in many ways. He wants more people to know about his electronic instruments.

Well bandwidth permitting we'll broadcast the gig friday night at Dolan's here in Limerick Ireland. I'll be playing with John Daly and his trio, all great musicians! We'll be rigging this all together, but it should work fine.

I'm curious to see if this works because I'd like to broadcast more concerts from different countries. We'll See!!!

I'm terrible with names but the Guitarist and Bass Player and Drummer (John Daly) are really happening. So check them out if you can.

The concert is 9pm Ireland's time and 4 oclock east coast U.S. time. So tune in if you can.

I might try to figure out how to do a Q&A session on the break. So if you you're curious as to what it's like to be a Jazz musician in Ireland ask away.

If there are problems and we can't broadcast I'll try and post here. It just depends on the bandwidth in the club.

What a cool CD. Everything from the sound of the vibes and the pieces and then the playing. Totally rocks!

I'll be gigging at Dolan's with drummer John Daly's group.

Hopefully we'll be broadcasting this live on the internet.

John Swana - Tpt
Chris Farr - Sax
Tony Miceli - Vibes
Madison Rast - Bass
Dan Monaghan - Drums

THIS LINK WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. BUT IT SHOULD WORK NOW!

I just finished a lesson on Bluesette over at my vibe school (www.vibesworkshop.com). Since I played the piece I thought I would post it here.

OK, here's the NEW locator. If you're looking to Jam with others or find an instrument look here.

Check out Florian Poser. He's a great vibe player from Germany. He has a new CD coming and what I dig about it is it's vibes and accordian. I think that's a beautiful combination.
