Blues For Ayman – Greg Howard Band – Chapman Stick
Posted on February 21st, 2010 by
From the debut performance by the band in Leeuwarden, Holland, June 1999. This is a slightly shortened version of the piece so that it will be under 10 minutes with lots of group improvisation. www.greghoward.com Jan Wolfkamp - drums, Jan van Olffen - bass, Hubert Heeringa - WX7, Greg Howard - Chapman Stick

Thanks so much, Jack. I hope we get to tour again someday. It was fun.
AMAZING MAN!!! TRUELEY… i would like to get in touch and get some meterial if i may
Yep, from what i’ve seen of performances of pro. chapman players, Greg Howard rules them all. He has overcome that stick-trick disease. (nothing wrong with that, btw)
The stick has just become a tool for new music. Also his technique must be the most polished out there, which is a good thing when it is combined with his talang for improvising.
Tony Levine is not even close! Honestly!
I worked at the Anaheim Convention in the mid 90s and during one NAMM Convention Greg was standing 5 feet away from me playing “Tomorrow Never Knows” and I was absolutely speechless. His playing was impeccable (not a note missed) frigging stupendous. There are other stick players, but Greg Howard is the Dalai Lama of the Stick. Make no mistake!
Hey! My name’s Ayman. Thanks for the song….
If you can see greg’s talang, you’re looking too closely! Who’s tony levine?
haha halo theme song at 5:00
