Joe is playing the "Joe Locke Autograph Mallet" by pro-mark (JPL) - quite a soft mallet. A new version is already in the making.

One should have a special sense of humor and huge open mind to find any valuable argument in your comment on the vibraphone... Maybe you've been tortured by this instrument as a kid? Or did I miss a bad joke? Or surely you don't know what you are talking about. Personaly I would not allow myself such bad criticism on any of those incredible musicians, even if I didn't like the sound of their instrument. My 2 cents.

[Louis Poirier]

Masterpiece !! Vibraphone is by far my preferate instrument of them all !! So, you'll forgive me if I don't agree with you Mr Kirk !! And btw : these two virtuosis together : absolutely fabulous.

[JasonDeCristofaro]

This is a burning version of Summertime! Rock on Joe and Keezer!

amazing



[Boldstrummer]

This is real musicianship at the highest level. They both have awesome ears.

That makes the dialog possible.

@vibesoul13 what a pleasure, no?

[SpeedOfDark186Kmps]

Certainly unlike any version of Summertime that I've ever heard but I like it!

PS. Are you sure this is summertime? " It's summertime and the living is easy. The catfish are jumping, and the cotton is high." That summertime? I don't hear the tune at all.

My name is Sandy from rochester ny. I used to date Joey Locke in the seventies. Their was a jazz club named Jenks & Jones where Joey played, and I used to go several times per wk. He played with Spider Martin then. Wow. What a blast from the past
