Hi All, In the near future I'll probably be working on developing a commercial channel for Roku Players -- as a learning experience, I figured I could get started by developing a vibes channel. So what's a Roku Player? It's a box that…

Tony asked me to post the lead sheet of my composition "Jazz Waltz Nr.1". So I thought I post it for the subscribers. I'd like to hear some other versions of it. Maybe someone who wants to check it out could post his or her own version?

This is an arrangement we are working on in our improv class with a singer, there are two other instruments flute and alto sax as well as voice so you are only hearing vibes with a midi track here, its real dark so all comments welcome

Let's face it, not every gig allows us to play the difficult and hip jazz tunes we all spend hours shedding. Even many of the best known standards are completely foreign (and possibly boring) to a large section of general audiences today…

Hey everyone, I just read Tony's post about putting your work online... So, here I am! This is a free improv I did some weeks ago. Actually, I had in my mind some landscapes and atmosphere from a book, a novel named "La Horde du…

Here is version 2 of Crepuscule With Nellie. This time with the motor full on. Still needs work, but posting my progress. I feel I rush from one phrase to the next. I need to breath a little, I think. Suggestions appreciated. Barry

I just found this video and thought I should post it on here. The quality is great. We're playing this tune in our ensemble at Uarts that Tony directs. Does anyone know who's playing vibes in it? Thanks!

Here I play the number 8 of David Friedmans 'Dampening and Pedaling'. I choose that one, because nobody uploaded it yet... I play it very freely concerning the time and the rhythm. Hope to hear other versions soon!

This is a beautiful ballad by Joe Locke for Bob Berg. I saw this band and it was really something special.

Are you guys familiar with Lenny Tristano? He's the head of this whole subculture in music. A really interesting bop player. A monster! His lines were incredible. He's a guy worth checking out although there's not a ton out by him. A few…

It's a little strange to me that more people aren't talking about what they're working on, posting what they're practicing, putting there stuff on the line. This is something I'll never get. I try to assume that most of you guys aren't…

A lot of times when I practice, I hit an interval and it reminds me of something I've heard before. Then I have to learn that tune. I heard an interval from Crepuscule with Nellie, by Thelonious Munk. I didn't have a lead sheet so I…
