I invited some young musicians to my apartment for a little jam and since I got new mikes and some killer Adam studio monitors I wanted to record a bit of it just for fun. Totally unmixed, just a bit of EQ on the vibes, and only one mike on the piano and drums and bass. The bass player is a young american, fairly new in Berlin, Josh Ginsburg.
I love the sound of the vibes!

hey,

Here are a couple of versions of Summertime with a Cha Cha Band-in-a-Box accompaniment. The attached solo version is with BIAB drum track only. There, I am practicing the bass pattern while playing the melody.

I also attached an arrangement (PDF), and an audio file generated by Sibelius.

Enjoy,

Had fun working on this one. Some great tunes written by Paul McCartney. Also some great tunes written by Lennon and Harrison that would be great on solo vibes. Use to play this on solo vibe hotel gigs way back.

Happy to share a new video from a concert earlier this year playing duo with LA based pianist, Josh Nelson.

This beautiful standard sounds pretty good on vibes. Unlike many standards, the verse hasn't been abandoned and is still played as part of the arrangement. The melody lends itself well to octaves in the right hand.

Trio exceptional, quality of recording, belissima musica (IMHO) Enjoy !

Hey Vibeworkshop,
Im currently getting ready for my recital and one of the pieces that I am playing on my recital is a reduction, I'm currently working on, of the ever popular Strange Meadow Lark by Dave Brubeck. As I study the piece and boil down the transcription to an honest reduction I really started to see the genius of Brubeck's solo playing. So today I would like to break down all the techniques and ideas he used while playing the melody of the tune and how we can incorporate those ideas to other standards and ballads.
