So I've almost finished producing a CD, now what do I do?

I have no delusions of grandeur here, but I do want it to be "out there" and available. Our major goals in producing this CD were to expand our musical capabilities (already accomplished :-)), and maybe get more/better gigs.

Hello everyone, here's a videoclip from a clinic on improvisation that I presented at Berklee (last summer) for the Summer Program faculty. The topics covered Tension Resolution, Four Note Groupings and Major 7th #5 Superimposition. The clip features David Clark on bass and myself on piano playing written out solos (that can be viewed/downloaded from here: http://allthingsvibraphone.blogspot.com/2011/07/improv-concepts-by-ed-s…) based on each of those specific improv concepts.

hey,

in my series frank zappa M-Kat playalong i present today:

zomby woof.

i love that tune and it´s a really cool rock composition of frank, showing that avantgard rhythms like quintuplets can fit into a rock setting. i cutted out the biggest part of frank´s guitar solo and hope he will not hate me for that weherever he is now. i transcribed the marimba part sometime ago and attached it as pdf.

unfortunatley the auto focus of my cam went a little bit crazy...sorry for that.
hope you like it.

What's up vibesworkshop? As many of you know, I am up in Philly studying with the man himself, Tony Miceli. Tony and I spend a good deal of our lesson time in conversation about the instrument, music, and life. He asked me to start a blog and discuss things that I am working on and some concepts I use while arranging and playing. So this is entry numero uno. And I wanted to talk about arranging.

(Note from Tony) - my students have to do lessons each semester and submit them on the site. Sangwon speaks much better Korean than English so he's doing his lesson in Korean.

I recently acquired a marimba, and started messing around with some stuff!
