Mike Freeman: The Vibesman
by Dan McClenaghan
The sound of the vibraphone glows--a ringing and sustained sonic luminescence. Current masters of the instrument include Gary Burton, Joe Locke, Bobby Hutcherson, and the perhaps lesser-known but also masterful Mike Freeman.

Hendrik Meurkens: Live At Bird's Eye
by Dan Bilawsky
As a virtuoso harmonicist and vibraphonist, Hendrik Meurkens has always reigned supreme in the unique instrument doublers category, yet he never seems to get the attention he fully deserves. The German-born, New York-based Meurkens has been making beautiful and bouncy Brazilian-based music for decades with his instruments of choice, and Live At Bird's Eye is no ...
On Second Thought: Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 - Fool on the Hill (1968)

Perhaps for most of us, it would be best defined like this: “a threat, insult, condemnation, sarcastic retort, or, gesture delivered while departing." I choose to view it as the latter, thinking of a light punch to the shoulder as the final gesture! ...

Silver amazing, glimmering tone shines all throughout, especially on the up-tempo, swinging tracks “I Will Wait For You," “Exactly Like You" and Irving Berlin's “The Song Is Ended."

Herb Alpert: On The Record
by Telly Davidson
It was no less than Miles Davis who once opined, “You don't have to hear but three notes before you know it's Herb Alpert."
