Hi All,
Just as I was finished recording September's show, news came that we lost our eloquent, our fine Bobby Hutcherson. There's still so much of his work that I haven't even touched yet, albums I still need to get. I'll do a dedication for him in October with some favorites but meanwhile, hard to believe he's not among us in body any longer. But the spirit is still strong.

Hei you all! My name is Lucas Dorado, I'm a new subscribing member of "VibesWorkshop" and I would like to share a composition of mine with you. I wrote it for Solo-Vibraphone. Since I'm here on a website with a lot of great Vibesplayers, every feedback is very welcome!

Here the link to see the whole video if it doesn't work below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVUyt8M3B4c

Gary sent this to me and I'm posting on his behalf - Tony Miceli

Check out my friend Steve Khan's tribute to Bobby. Beautiful.

Here's a "jam session"! version of Groovin' High with a long intro. I like the roughness and experimental quality of the take. We didn't discuss the transition from the intro to the head, or much else. (Maybe it sounds like that!)

Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton - a beautiful and emotional song which is one of my favorite tracks from Eric's Unplugged recording. (a really great recording). It was a challenge but also fun working on this song with the mainly diatonic and triadic harmony. Any wrong note sticks out like a sore thumb.

That was the quote of this article. Jeeeez.

His time is really good. I actually think he does a pretty good job!

He is 84 years old at the time this video was recorded.... !

I am learning a ton making lessons of these bebop tunes.

It's so great for me. I learn and my playing gets better.

If you're a hard worker I'm sure you are also learning a ton during these 7 weeks.

Tell me what you're learning.
