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.
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.
