Joe Locke/Ed Saindon - Stella By Starlight - 7 of 7

Joe and I played a duo concert at Berklee College of Music in Boston on Tuesday, July 26th. It was a special treat for me to have Joe come to Berklee and play duo vibes with him. Joe's playing, as always, was simply incredible. We had a nice hang (along with Gustavo Agatiello) at the house for a few days prior to the concert.

We had such a receptive and supportive audience. Many of the vibe students and local vibists were in attendance as well as marimbist/Berklee faculty member Nancy Zeltsman. It was a treat to have our good friends Christos Rafalides and Mike Blake there. Christos, Mike and his son Drew drove up from NYC. Vibist Andrew Nittoli came up from Philadelphia.

Here's the set list: Love is a Planchette, Hope, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams, Blackbird, Snowfall in Central Park, Jitterbug Waltz, Stella By Starlight

We had hired someone to videotape the concert, but unfortunately they totally dropped the ball. The good news is that Gustavo brought his FlipVideo camera and recorded the concert. I'm very thankful that he did and the music was documented. The entire concert footage is now up on my YouTube channel. We numbered the tracks and left in the talking in order to be able to view the entire concert as we performed it. We hope you enjoy the footage. Joe and I are very pleased about the performance. Ed
