Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together. Here is Take 2 out of three takes. This rendition is a little slower and starts out with more subtlety than Take 1. In this take, I'm experimenting with using a variety of articulations/note lengths as well as executing lines with four mallets.

Other Takes:

Take 1: This is a fairly brief two chorus version that includes right hand octaves along with left hand accompaniment and pedal point in the bridge of the 2nd chorus.

At least, it was new to me because I had totally forgotten about it.

First and foremost, thank you to Noel Okimoto. He has recently joined the site and I began corresponding with him about an instrument he has. The subject turned to the music he is involved with, which is Hawaiian music. I kind of remember some of it from back in the 60s on the radio; stuff like Don Ho actually made it on the air where I lived.

I had completely forgotten that it had a lot of vibes on it. Check it out, folks:

A brief rendition of the classic "Over The Rainbow" that utilizes harmony from Keith Jarrett's beautiful version. The arrangement features a modulation from Eb to F to Db. For a copy of the arrangement (melody and harmony), here's the link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113437494/Over-the-Rainbow-Reharm-Modulation

Check out this great tune written by Christos and performed at the 'Zeltsman Marimba Festival' (ZMF) 2013 in Arcata, CA.
The tune is written for 2 marimbas and one vibraphone and it's called Rodinia.
Enjoy
