I was there too. At least on one of the nights of the run. I wasn't thrilled. Brownie wins by a long shot!

You can't go wrong with this one:

That's my photo of Ben Riley & Percy Heath playing outdoors in Rockerfeller Center in 1977 or so. There's more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tommarcello/sets/72157594498636725/

Very well put, Jim.

I just ordered a signed copy from the vibesworkshop.com

I don't know if he's still touring with her, but the fine percussionist Daniel Sadowski was in her band a couple of years ago.

Critics at Large Drummer Max Roach, one of the great progenitors of be-bop, was so angry he followed Coleman into the kitchen of the Five Spot and punched him in the mouth. (Still not satisfied, Roach later "harangued him from the street outside his apartment.")

In have this exact issue on America. The sound is fine:

There are two "strings" of vibraphone bars, so he was just lifting half of them. Here's a recent photo of Joe Locke with the Omega Vibe by Malletech

You should try schelping those three pieces around! The bars weigh about 50 lbs, the resonant tubes are light but ungainly and the frame with the legs are no picnic either. I didn't mention the bag of mallets and the electronic pickups that you have sling over your shoulder, and the foot pedal for the damper that always come off and the amp you need. I don't play, but I've helped to cart vibes around for a long time. You may enjoy this: VIBRAPHONE

Actually, the royalty rate for TV is very good indeed (I know that's not your point), even for "incidental " music such as those few seconds of music for "cues". I know a few musicians who spend a day in the studio recording such music for agencies who do this kind of music placement. It pays some bills. The agency has their own publishing company and artist gets the composer rate. You'd be surprised to see the names of some of the musicians that do this work. The point really shroud be (and is) that a professional, full time musician should be paid fairly for the fruits of his labor when that fruit is picked! A sample royalty spreadsheet.

The best revenue streams, in the USA, are through Digital Audio Services such as the Music Choice on your local cable TV service, the Dish Network, Direct TV and Sirus XM. Public TV (NPR) and Background Music Services like Muzak, and DMX also. Very good rates. Other than those, performance royalties from outside the States is very good also. That is both live performances ( you fill out a form of every original song you play at a live performance and give it to the venue to be submitted to the regional PRO) and Radio play. Spotify and Pandora, if used in the manner that Larry has used them, is great. The problem is the vast majority of users never buy a physical product, and these companies pay a beggars rate. If music is their whole crop, so to say, the should be willing to pay a rate that is more than a 1/3 of a cent. That goes for terrestrial radio also. I'm going to try to post a recent BMI accounting here for you to see, but the name will have to be omitted. Nah, I couldn't get it done!

Why don't you just order directly from Resonance? The total including shipping to the Germany is: $24.98 USD / $18.78 EUR

I've read several interviews with Gene DiNovi, so I look forward to the book.

Nope. He passed away a year ago.

Thomas Marriott is a favorite of mine.

"Quintet of the Year" by Geoffrey Haydon has a nice chapter on Max

Transcendence is a amazing and important recording.

No there isn't one but you can always get this:

Thanks for the link. He was a cute kid!
