It's funny to see this talk about learning tunes. I have 3 tunes to learn. 2 I have never played and one I've forgotten.
Jubilation (new)
Que-Tee (new)
Conception (forgot)
I spent the last 2 hours on Jubilation. I learned the melody first…
Several years ago 1980's, I did a lot of transcribing. I found a great way was to start in the beginning of the Jazz Era and work your way up. We had a great library in Pasadena, CA and I checked out a bunch of early jazz from around…
I did a recording session yesterday and something awful happened. We were playing the tune Move by Denzel Best. I couldn't play one part of the tune. I had to practice it for 20 minutes. I realized that I got into a bad habit or something…
Hi all,
I'm happy to announce that I just received early copies of my third CD from Posi-tone entitled "Duotone". It's a co-led group with tenor saxophonist Ken Fowser, and it features a great rhythm section with Donald Vega on piano,…
Hey Guys,
I thought I'd start a little discussion/lesson on how to transcribe changes to tunes. As a drummer(or a drumming vibist..haha) I have been(and still am) always struggling with learning and transcribing changes and I thought I'd…
One year ago today Marie got her vibraphone. As you guys might know, Marie has been in love with the vibes for a long time. She finally bought her own set and is practicing on them! She's my right hand girl on the site as most of you know…
Hello,
Anybody out there know of somebody in the New York area that could fix a vibe motor. I got a 60's century vibe and the motor burned out. Its got one of those cool overdrive buttons that sits on the top of the panel and makes the…

Four octaves, graduated rosewood bars. Just (i.e. last month) tuned by Bill Youhass at Fall Creek. This is a very nice sounding instrument…

Lionel Hampton – Father of the Vibes
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told, “You’re almost as good as Lionel Hampton.” And when someone looks at me with a puzzled face and says, “What’s a vibraphone?” I just answer, “What Lionel…
Found a very nice M55 about a half hour from home, so I am selling my Jencos.
The particulars: 3 octave, non-graduated bars, one speed motor with the three pulleys for three speeds of vibrato. The felt is ok to adequate, all of the bars…
holidays are over and i got so inspired by david and tonys video of "if i were a bell". i never played it before and practiced it the whole day. instead of doing a solo vibes version i wanted to make a trio version. unfortunatley all my…

I found this unpublished on the site. I must have put it up and then took it down because I didn't like something on it. It's one of my practice tapes, so it's not meant to be perfect. I couldn't find…
My rendition of a Nepali folk tune that was taught to me by my friend Manose. The quartet is Justin Sekelewski (bass), Dan Hanrahan (guitar) and Gabe Globus-Hoenich (drums).
No gig today (I'm glad in a way). After doing a bunch of BS I got on the instrument. I'm learning the Parker Tune Quasimodo. I love the head and it's a challenge to really get the phrasing! I have 3 recordings, Paul Motian, Parker and…
Yo, european cats,
There has been some talk about getting vibes in Europe lately.
We talk a lot about American manufacturers. For European cats it's expensive to get those instruments over.
But there are some great instruments over there…
I left a couple things out, so fill in below.
Tell me more about this lick. What about the notes of the lick? What are they over each chord? What are they based on the key we're going to.
This is the power of us all working together. I'm checking out all these videos on the blues. I'm listening to the blues in the car and the blues is coming out all over the place for me!
You guys are influencing me big time. This is the…
Here is a tune I started composing. I don't know if I heard it somewhere before, or if it is original. With the descending bass line, it could be a million tunes!
Please let me know if it sounds like something familiar, and I'll work on…
