Working on the classic "Alice in Wonderland" in a practice session this past week while focusing on several solo vibraphone techniques for playing in 3/4. I was inspired way back by Bill Evans' classic interpretation of this song on the Live at the Village Vanguard recording with Bill, Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian.

I'm planning on recording a tutorial at some point dealing with playing solo vibraphone on 3/4 tunes. There are a quite a few things to think about and work on in this area.

Hi Guys here 's my vibraphone solo version of the famous jazz standard "On Green Dolphin Street". I was unsure about the key to choose so I played half on C and Half on Eb!!!

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to work on my solo playing. I'm starting to get more comfortable accompanying myself. I find the hardest thing is to keep a line going and not have the chords interrupt the flow. I can play through changes fairly well unaccompanied without chords. But now I find my left hand is always going for a chord.

My pick is Gary Burton - Alone at Last

What's yours? Only one and you can of course talk about why.

For me the solo playing on this CD is unmatched to this day. I heard it when I was young and it blew me away.

Your turn.

HEY GUYS, I think it's great to include you all in some way. So I'll post questions and hopefully you guys will answer. I'll provide links to this stuff for the attendees when it gets close to the workshop.

What is a specific exercise someone can do to work on improvising. Be specific and short. You can link to something here that helped you of course.

Any Ideas?
