DISCLAIMER: I use the F word at the end of this video, so don't watch if you're going to be offended.

But you should watch because at the end of the video, Marie gives me a quick vibe lesson.

She's a pretty hip chick.

David Friedman talked about playing free at the VBP 2010 workshop. Great lesson here!

Here's a virtual conversation about playing via the internet. I don't have the time to sort it all out but if you sift through, it's pretty cool.

so it sounds like this could possibly work from west to east coast?

but remember somebody plays something on the east coast. in jazz i'm responding to that moment. then he's responding to me.

hmmm, but if i can do it being 55 feet apart from the other musician, then this is possible in this capacity.

that's the verdict?

Yep, there are several different blues scales. They each have a unique quality. Of course they do, any grouping of notes will have a quality that's unique and different from other groups. For instance play a major scale. Now flat the 3rd. Just changing one note is going to uniquely change the sound of that scale or grouping of notes.

A Canadian player who has played with many greats includung Benny Goodman. Here it looks like he's having fun. Nice understated sound.

Hi all!

I'm sitting at home grounded with a bad cold so I got more time than usual to post here.

Someone at TheVibe.net reported that he recently acquied a 4-octave DeMorrow vibraphone - is there anyone familiar with this brand? Any opinions? Nico?

Well, I am an old gear head

cheers Stefan

Can you cats fill me in? I just downloaded 'Guys and Dolls Love the Vibes'.

I happened upon this clip on YouTube from 1998. It features vibes/percussion master Emil Richards, Joe Porcaro on drums and a young conguero, Cosimo Lampis. This is from a master class in Sardinia (wherever that is!). I think this is one of Emil's original tunes. Great stuff!
