Dear Workshop, what do you think about combining the vibes with technology??
I recently transferred some old recordings from DAT tape which featured the K&K midi system, and started thinking maybe this site would be a good place to share them...I haven't seen much discussion about this.
Don't use the pedal if you don't want to. This is just an exercise in some alternate 4 mallet sticking. Not single lines, but 2 note voicings.
I was messing around with these ideas this morning. I banged this puppy out before heading out to class. I'll double check it later.
Your job is to figure out what standard it is based on, analyze the voicings and play it.
You can name the tune here. It should be obvious!!!!
I added a track with some percussion. This is an etude that should just give you some independent 4 mallet ideas.

John Swana - Trumpet
Tony Miceli - Vibes
Track from a recent online concert.
Another Cut from our virtual concert.
my turn
Another track from a recent online concert. I'm preparing all this for Diane, so I thought I'd post here as well.
This is a great lesson to check out. It's interesting to see how much David knows about the instrument.
I'm digging back into recordings from a few years ago. I have an m-audio and was bringing out to lots of gigs.
I just started digging into ones from 4 years ago. It's really great because they're far enough away that I have really no connection to them. I can really listen critically which i'm doing right now.
Checking out your past can really give you a perspective on things. Too bad we can't listen to the future! That would really help.
There were still a couple mistakes in my transcription of the Coltrane solo on "Four". I have corrected them and asked Tifoo, my faithful copyist, to rectify the Sibelius file. This is great stuff. I have managed to learn the whole solo by heart, and I play it (but only slowly)as an exercice, to try and get the feel of it.
