I was just listening to the radio while reading the last post. The music I was intoxicating. Guitar and Drums, really nice swing and groove. The announcer came on... Charlie Hunter on 8 string guitar and Leon Parker on Drums. It's a new Blue Note release called "Duo".

I think I might check it out.

I would also recommend Charlie Hunter Quartet's cover of "Natty Dread", a Blue Note cover series release, and Charlie Hunter with Pound for Pound "Return of the Candyman". I love the vibraphone...

If someone would pass along a few recommendations for swingin' vibraphone, I would be appreciative.

There are a few great Vibes players around. Bobby Hutchenson has been around since the 60's and I just picked up his new release called "Skyline" that "swings" pretty much. Its got great players on it: Kenny Garrett on Sax, Geri Allen - piano, Christian McBride - bass, and Al Foster - drums. Gary Burton is another one who has been making music since the '60s. His earlier works with Keith Jarrett are fantastic, and I love his "Reunion" release with Pat Metheny. Theres Lionel Hampton, who probably is more swinging than either of them, of course. My personal favorite vibist is Mike Maineiri, who I first heard playing with the Brecker Brothers in the group Steps, and on their "Blue Montreux" releases, then later on his own solo releases and with the Steps Ahead group. I'd recommend his "American Diary" which features Joe Lovano on sax, or any of these Steps Ahead releases: "NYC", "Vibe", or "Yin-Yang". They're more hard driving than swinging, but the tone and playing of his vibes is fantastic. If you like the vibe sound you'll love these.

Thanks much. I'll check out Mike Maineiri.

I know that I have some Gary Burton / Pat Metheny album on Vinyl. It has some roadsigns on the front. That one is really mellow and laid back.
