So many great versions of this song. One of my favorite versions is by the late jazz harmonica player Toots Thielemans and pianist Kenny Werner. It was very sad hearing of Toots' passing last week. There was no one like him and it's such a huge loss. Toots and Kenny recorded this song on their duo recording. I also saw a video last week of Toots and Kenny playing this song in a concert. Toots playing the melody so beautifully on harmonica and Kenny backing him up on piano and synth with sensitivity and lots of harmonic color and variation.

Trying to catch the spirit of the blues. Not a piece of cake.

Hello all!
I hope we are doing well and making great music with our vibraphones!

Fun recording of a very young Gary Burton

Man, I was never a Roy Ayers fan. I mean I thought he played well when I heard him, but I just thought he went in a different direction that I wasn't to keen on.

Well vibist Steve Hobbs turned me on to many tracks, CDs and his opinion. honestly I expected to like the music but didn't expect to be moved like I was. Yes, it's ignorance, I know. But I've learned a bunch about him and really am digging what I'm listening to!

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!

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.
