Practicing tunes in other keys is a great exercise. Recently Tony and I had a short discussion on the benefits of transposing. It reminded me of "Comrade Conrad", a beautiful Bill Evans tune that actually moves up a 5th to a new key every…
I was inspired by Carla Jenkins' really pretty version of "This Masquerade", and decided to make it my practice tune for the night. I didn't have the melody written out, so I was doing it by memory/ear. Need to work on that part.
I'll…
Hi All,
I'm getting near completing the Vibesworkshop on Roku app I talked about earlier, but I'm not happy with the graphics elements that I've come up with. I'm hoping that someone here has more graphic design talent than I have and is…
Here's one more tune from my 5-March gig -- "500 Miles High". With me are Doug Sondak on flute, Richard Hale-Shaw on bass and Ed Conley on drums. Enjoy :-).

Hey all,
I ran into this clip on YouTube, and thought I should share it.
I love Hamp, but he was not a player I listened to a lot as a student. However, I appreciate him more every day and I found this clip to be awesome. Really in his…
Here is someone who obviously adores Milt Jackson, as do a lot of people on this site. However, even though this person does not obviously "sound" like Milt, they have managed to play an exact solo by Milt with his nuances. Enjoy!
Ok, here's the first 6 mallet guy I've seen playing more like a jazz player and playing some lines. dritske posted a comment with this link. I thought I'd put the vid up here.
I think when you learn a tune you should come up with a SIMPLE solo version of each tune. I also think that studying any part of any tune is a major source of information. I've been working on Speak Low thanks to Behn!
I got this from Christos FB account... and I loved it!
To me a very good example of mallets in "popular" but good music... In Greek! Cool huh? And with marimba: even more original, no?
Enjoy!

Hi vibes players!
One day I was practicing scales and I thought: "all the work with scales, areas, voicings, etc, in vibes is about making pictures in the keyboard!" then I said: "If I know the picture well all the rest is easy", ergo "I…
I would like to buy David Friedmann's "Air Sculpture" but have not found it yet.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank You in advance (tia)
Hey Vibes Workshop,
I was in Berlin for a few days, and had the opportuny to meet again the "Friedman Clan", Charly and Simon.
We played some tunes at the university, duets with marimba and vibes. Unfortunately, we only recorded this one…

I just enjoyed the lesson of Mike Pinto. I'm a fan of his CD "Prologue"... I totally dig the sound of vibes with sax and voice. So now I have a band in this formation.
This is a composition of mine called "strange country". It's just a…
This is the tune I was playing with Tony in Holland in the "This is why Marie is so hip" video. It's got a beautiful melody and beautiful, simple changes, which nevertheless pose a challenge. I like to play this tune as a solo piece as…
Today was my last day in Philly, I finally got to sleep a little bit which was nice. I checked out of the hotel and went down to the University of the Arts where I was going to sit in on one of Tony's classes an hour later. I had planned…
