Check out the audio clip I have attached this article. I think sometimes students don't get it, that is how to really study something. How a little snip it can be so valuable. I spend 2.5 hours on this snippet tonight. First I love it! It's from Brad Meldau playing Anthropology. The whole solo is from another planet.

Thanks so much to Barryk. He posted this Band In A Box file for my tune, titled and dedicated to Vince Guaraldi.

Check it out!

Attached are the complete drawings to accompany the video on MBraces also available at www.VibesWorkshop.com

If you have a drill press and a few hand tools, this attachment has all the information you need to build your own MBraces (most new manufacturers already have this type of bracing on their instruments - though not this quality).

NOTE: The vender information listed here is also excellent information to have on hand if you own a "Piper Vibe".

Here's a tough mental challenge.

Anyways. in the past couple months my life has been so hectic working working working that i have barely any time to play my vibes, which at first drove be completely insane. However, what i have found in the process i would like to share with you ...What i have found in my time away from play the vibes is alot of ear training, listening, and mental practicing.

Here's the complete Shapes and Patterns of Music book for Subscribers. Thank you for your support of the site!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share my enthousiasm on the program Rhapsody. It's a great program by Realplayer and let's you listen to loads of music(and a lot of jazz) without having to buy cd's or tracks! They have a subscription that is about 12 dollars a month and you can listen to full length tracks unlimited. And the good thing is that you can also download the tracks so you can listen to them offline.

I'm using this now as a tool to get to know a lot of jazz standards. You can search by track name and then you can listen to versions of a tune by many different artists.

The conversation that recently took place regarding improvising on the blues has given me food for thought for a blog. I think intellectualizing music through analysis is a good thing if fully understood. The process of analyzing music helps to teach and learn new things about music and often helps to find weaknesses and holes in our knowledge.
