ABOUT THE PERFORMER:
Coming from the "four mallet school", Ed Saindon has developed and continues to refine a pianistic approach to mallet playing that involves a consistent utilization of all four mallets via the Fulcrum Grip, a four mallet grip he developed for vibraphone and marimba playing. Ed has absorbed and transferred the influences from the piano lineage that stretches from Art Tatum up to the present. In addition, sound is an important issue for him and he continues to work on trying to get more nuance and expression out of the instrument via the use of dynamics, dampening and deadstrokes. Originally a drummer, he began playing the vibraphone and piano while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston from 1972-1976.

As a concert artist and clinician, Ed has traveled throughout the U.S., Europe, Brazil, Mexico and Japan. In addition to performing, his other passion is music education. He is a Professor at Berklee where he has been teaching since 1976 and is also active as a clinician sponsored by Yamaha and Vic Firth. Published books include Berklee Practice Method: Vibraphone (Berklee Press), Rhythmic Phrasing in Improvisation and Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation (Advance Music) and his new book The Complete Guide to Improvisation.

Ed has authored many articles on music education, jazz theory and improvisation. His articles have appeared in many publications including Down Beat, Percussive Notes (Percussive Arts Society magazine) and Percussioner International. He is currently the vibraphone and jazz mallet editor for the Percussive Arts Society.

Ed is active as a composer for his own recordings. His last two recordings as a leader, Key Play with Kenny Werner and Depth of Emotion with Dave Liebman, have featured his compositions.
