hi all people

I hope you like !
all the best for all people
another danny boy version played on vibes and m-kat simultan. unfortunatley still with wrong notes but it was my best try. i think one could really make up nice solo things with this setup but it takes a lot of practice...

This is an expert from a concert Christos did with my vibes in Greece with his trio. These guys are amazing. I also had the change to jam and hang with them. They have great energy, both as players and persons.
This a tune called "Fou Rire" played by them!
Enjoy

Some baroque stuff from one of the foremost french composer of 17th century. I love his music.
I didn't transcribed. I play by ear. Working on ear training and harmonisation. Good practice ! ;o )
I have been looking for a while, unsuccessully, so I thought I should widen my search to include all of you here.
Over the last couple weeks ive been dealing with a abdominal injury from loading a keyboard at a reggae gig over halloween and then played a vibe gig the day after which really put me out of commission. Because of this injury i havent been able to stand and play at the vibes for a couple weeks at any length. This got me thinking, wow im not 20 anymore. lol
Alright...working hard on the solo, but in the meantime, here is a recording from rehearsing with my friend Beth last weekend. This was our first rehearsal aside from the day we sightread, and I'd say we're making progress. We're getting used to listening to each other and learning how we play together.
Not a bad start, eh? :)
Hello fellow vibists,
I'll be leading a group of Berklee faculty for a performance on Saturday, January 5th at the 4th Annual JEN (Jazz Education Network) conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The group will feature Matt Marvuglio - flute, Marco Pignataro - sax, David Clark - bass, Ron Savage - drums and myself on vibes. The conference takes place from January 2nd through the 5th. David Clark will be assuming the bass chair for Barry Smith who can't make it.
Marie suggested me to record a tune with the metronome.
Sorry for the singing and tss tss stuff.
I'm desperately trying to eliminate this in my playing without any result.
When I shut my mouth, ideas don't come ....
Wierd !
Well...it's been a busy start of the month, and Afro Blue took a seat on the backburner when I had to learn new music for jazz ensemble very quickly (concert coming this Friday already!). Over the past week and half I've listened to Afro Blue and played the intro. and head almost every day, but I didn't start tackling the solo until yesterday (but on a marimba, so today was the first time playing on correctly spaced bars!).
Here's my approach to the solo:
