I was inspired by Tony to practice Stablemates. This is a QDV of a brief practice session. I'm working on playing the head with chords and then playing lines over the changes. I feel pretty good about the former, but it's difficult for me to play one or more choruses without losing the time or otherwise messing up (as you can hear multiple times). Any suggestions on how to improve at this are appreciated!

I thought it was time to present some new material here again.

Over the years, a lot of worn-out mallets have accumulated. I had the opportunity to give students a project assignment to refurbish old mallets. The result works very well. I have restored a first set of mallets with 300 windings per mallet and I am very enthusiastic. Many thanks to my student Fabian Buschulte!

Hi Vibes Guys and Gals, 

Vibraphonist Christian Tamburr dedicated an entire album to the Grounds for Sculpture, called The Awakening.  Located in Hamilton, NJ the park is an enchanted place where art works come alive and realistic sculptures dance and play in the fields, all in tune with nature.
