Hi guys!

Here my first post!
I want all you to enjoy!

Thanks,

Dani Catalán

Our discussion of cord for vibes started to branch off in soft vs. hard mallets.

So I thought I'd open a discussion on that :-).

I don't want to say too much about it but I'll start off with this.

It's sad to go hear a vibe player and then you can't hear them.

I'm not innocent here, btw.

YOUR TURN

Great standard written in 1947 with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Jule Styne. Many great versions of this song by vocalists and instrumentalists. Two of my favorite are from Chet Baker and Keith Jarrett.

Let's add what you find to the Archive! :-)

I hear some stuff similar to Walt Dickerson. I mean the out playing. The instrument does lend itself to playing a lot of crazy notes. I think when musical players do this it's great.

That's me bringing the vibes to the people at my wedding over the weekend. I did a little version of Stevie Wonder's "You and I" before the first dance. She let me buy a second instrument (M75) last year, so I think she's a keeper!

Pure Imagination from Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. One of my favorite songs. One of my favorite versions is from Joe with beautiful singing by Kenny Washington. Please check that out if you haven't heard that yet.

Here's Evelen Glennie playing the vibes with a symphony.

I can't figure her out. Not that I have to, but I'm very curious.

First - Check her chops out. Amazing IMHO

Listen to her sound. Amazing. Beautiful!

I'm just not understanding what she does. Listen to the last note of the piece. She's early. Is the conductor supposed to follow her? Does she hear the band? Or feel the vibrations? Was this just a mistake?

Hello Vibes Workshop members,

I'm very happy to announce that my book, "The Band Teacher's Percussion Guide: Insights into Playing and Teaching Percussion", (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-band-teachers-percussion-gu…) has just been published by Oxford University Press.
