I've been working a lot on vibes trio playing lately due to gigs, and it's fun trying to adapt pianist techniques to the instrument and make the trio sound full. In here, I use some dampening (check out the very end specifically), some sliding, a solo stride section I got from Emmet Cohen (although I'm sure pianists did it earlier than him), and a modulation up a half step. This is Irving Berlin's great tune, "All By Myself."

It was time for a new Vibes-Solo Video and i always liked this melody.
It's seems so simple, but...

Hey,
For those of you who've asked what happened to December's Good Vibes, we've had a router failure at JazzOn2 and, like many things these days, a replacement couldn't be found in time to air much of this month's programming. We're hoping to be up soon - soon as the darn thing arrives - and I will let you know about the re-airs. And also when I post it at mixcloud.com, which I will do next week if the station doesn't get up and running. I'm playing a mixture of Christmas/Winter tunes, including "Skating" by Warren Wolf from his Christmas Vibes CD.

I've been taking lessons from another local vibes player around here and, and in lieu of Tony's TOTM, asked if we could do a duet on Just In Time - here it is! Thought it'd be good to share as we're all working on the tune.

Any critique or comments are appreciated! Kinda messed up the melody at the very beginning but that's life.

(Also sorry for the bad camera angle, was mostly recording for just audio initially)

Liam made his first MalletKat video , but never posted it, so I am.

Some choruses based upon Tony Miceli's written out chorus which is available for download from The Vibes Workshop. The first chorus is Tony's written out solo while the subsequent choruses are improvised using some of Tony's specific notes, phrases and ideas from his written out solo. Tony's solo was posted as "Orthinology Simple Solo" very recently.

I hope you're working on Just In Time.

No matter what level you are at, it's worth it to work along with us.
Even just learning the melody and the chords is something.

If you're knew at this, read through one of the etudes or solos. Think about the chords and what's happening. Maybe you will have questions.

That brings us to the pop up class for subscribers. Here's a chance for us to come together and talk about stuff, around this tune (Just In Time).
