October 27, 2006 , David Friedman (International Jazz Marimba / Vibraphone Performer) , 10:55 am

“Although the marimba and vibraphone have gained appreciably in popularity over the past 20 years, the number of truly talented and inspired players is, in my opinion, still relatively small. That’s why I was particularly excited to hear the percussion duo, “Maraca2″ while on a recent visit to Birmingham. Tim Palmer and Jason Huxtable knocked me out with their musicality, intensity and technique! They breath life into everything they play, accentuating the subtle nuances of each piece masterfully.”
