Hi, everyone. Like almost everybody these days, I like to check out websites, particularly if they are important to my career and interests. I also like checking out the sites put up by musician friends. Here are some sites I go to regularly.

http://www.concordrecords.com - Naturally. This is my record company, and they have the latest information about my records.

http://www.grprecords.com - GRP was my label for eight years so there are quite a few of my CD's available here.

http://www.ecmrecords.com - My career with ECM spanned 1972-88, sixteen years! And, what's more, they continue to carry most of my records, even some early ones from the 70's.

http://www.berklee.edu - Of course, my favorite music college and my second home for the past 28 years. (A really extensive website, by the way.)

http://www.patmethenygroup.com - Pat is one of my favorite musicians and favorite people, and he has a pretty cool website, too.

http://petererskine.com - Peter, what a great drummer, and one of the most together guys I know. He's got a really good website.

http://www.amazon.com - I buy books from amazon, and I also think they have the best, and most complete listings of records, at least judging by my own discography. They have some neat reviews, too, and they even let the customers comment on the records! So, when I go to the web to order something, I start with Amazon.

http://www.thevibe.net - I just discovered this site recently. It's all about vibraphones, and they have a huge message board for vibes players to talk about everything to do with vibes.

http://www.ludwig-drums.com - I've been playing Musser vibraphones since I was six years old! The company was started in the 40's by Clair Omar Musser, a legendary mallet instrument figure. Now Musser is part of the Ludwig Drum Company, which is part of the Selmer Company, which is part of the Steinway Company... well you know how it is these days. Anyway, they're great people to work with, and I have always loved their instruments.

http://www4.osk.3web.ne.jp/~ejw/ozone/ - Makoto Ozone (mostly in Japanese for the moment) - Makoto is one of the best musicians I have ever played with and we have a wonderful time performing together. He has established his career as a major artist in Japan, with about fifteen records to his credit on several different labels including CBS and Verve. He has recently re-located to the USA, to New York, so we'll be hearing and seeing more of him from now on.

http://www.next-berlin.de/friedman - David Friedman - one of my old buddies of the vibraphone, I first knew David when In lived in New York in the 60's. He later moved to Berlin where he now teaches at the University there and continues to record and perform. One of the best vibists in the business and a great teacher.


I'll add some more sites from time to time, I'm always looking around to see what's new.
