Here's a recording of a gig I did in december 2007. This is a tune I didn't really know and it's harmonically pretty hard to play, so I actually faked it, as you can hear in some parts I play. The solo I played totally by ear, and man,…
This tune was written by Bill Dobbins many years ago. I first heard it performed as a piano/vibes duet. I recently recorded it for bass and vibes. But I'm sure it would sound great on vibes and marimba. The audio clip is slightly different…
Hello Vibesworkshoppers,
After several years of playing around NYC on a vintage 1960's Century vibe, I'm thinking of parting with it for a more convenient solution to travel with. I love this set of vibes, one of the best sounding…
It's been a miserable month but there's light at the end of the tunnel. Vibe gig at the rest home is put off, replaced by an organist! But the Christmas show at church is moving along. Working on a duet with guitarist John Hill on…
One Thing I admire about Tony is that he is relentlessly here on the site creating blogs, lessons, giving feedback etc. From what I can tell he practices what he preaches and practices hard all the time. That's such a huge thing that I…
I'm looking for a vibe, somewhere in the price range of about $2500. I don't know if anyone knows of a used m55 or something similar around. Finally trying to upgrade from a xylo...theres only so much you can do without a vibe itself!
I am a month late. But, better late than never. Here is a list of harmonic options over the blues. This was compiled by my instructor, Bert Ligon. A lot of this stuff was discussed by Tony last month, but it might help to see it all in one…
I caught Gary and Chick last night at the Blue Note. Also with them was the Harlem String Quartet. What a heavy concert.
First of all Gary and Chick were made for each other. They play so well together. Gary's solos were really incredible…
My good friend Tom Davis passed away yesterday. He was 80. Tom was a great vibes player. Many of the older members of this site may have known him. He wrote extensively for percussion ensemble, but he also published solo vibraphone…
Hi All,

This show includes two from Dana, including that little beauty "Soulflakes" with Marie. Arturo and Tyler are…
i tried the same what tony did, cause i thought it´s a good practice. make a short tune playalong and try to solo and comp. if you like go along with me. i suck a bit on the head but if you comp the sh** out of it maybe nobody will notice…
Let me know what you think of this. I was practicing Moments Notice today with the attempt of playing fluid lines and comping at the same time. The only realistic way for me to do this is to use both hands 'like' a 2 mallet player (still…

Listen to this Romanian vibist, in a beautiful rendition of Richard Galliano's Laurita. Great clear sound and technique (tasty bended notes in the first head). Enjoy !
