Vibes with Gypsy Jazz guitarist Joscho Stephan. If you are in the Philadelphia area, Joscho will be playing (probably without vibes) September 15, 2023 https://ci.ovationtix.com/36202/production/1168995.

From my book: "The Vibraphone Virtuosity Series - Advanced Progressive Etudes - Multi-Stylistic 2 & 4 

Mallet Studies For Solo Vibes

I've been loving the lessons that Behn has been posting about the tune.   I have been playing it for a while and, in fact, have been using it for some of my most recent experiments.   Yes to everything that Behn has been saying! We all have to practice and there are a lot of different productive ways to do it.  Here a few thoughts about how I practice a tune like this.

The Arrival of Victor Feldman

Track 1 Serpent’s Tooth

Victor plays vibes. Early Miles Davis tune.

Track 2 Waltz 

Chopin waltz that starts with piano, then vibes and back to piano. The track reminds me of MJQ.

Track 3 Chasing Shadows 

A Victor Feldman original. Has a bebop feel. Played on piano.

Track 4  Flamingo 

Nice ballad played on vibes. Tim Collins did a video on this tune.

Track 5 S’posin’

YouTube suggested this video for me. It is a restoration of a Galanti Vibraphonette.

Also, check out this video of "THE MAGIC WALTZ by Amedeo Tommasi | arranged for the Vibraphonette and Piano" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3u0AmI8v48

I’m back on the radio, ladies and gentlemen!

Someone contacted me about Musser vibes for sale. $2,000. 

They are in Houston, Texas. I don't know them and I tell everyone beware when you're expecting someone to ship something after you've paid for it. 

But if you're near Houston, check them out!

Since “Dreamsville” seems to be the topic of discussion here I thought I’d contribute a solo version I did several weeks ago. I’d be more than happy to answer any questions about the piece, the performance, concept, etc. Enjoy.
