For me the ability to phrase on the vibraphones is essential to communicating one's musical message. Nuance of attack, length of notes, dynamics within 2,3 or 4 notes, combining legato, staccato within a phrase, varying space within ideas; all these nuances are tools and when used musically, give your message life and depth. I love working on these concepts using changes to standards or just playing free. I've chosen rhythm changes here because they're familiar, and a medium swing feel. Swinging eighth notes are also a way to phrase lines.
I’ll Remember April in Bb using my Mallet Kat and Boss RC-3 loop pedal as accompaniment.
Hey everyone,
I'm starting a new series on solo vibes arranging, where in the first part, I'll give an arrangement in the form of sheet music, and in the second part, I'll walk through it, note by note, explaining why and how I'm picking voicings, textures, etc. I hope this gives everyone ideas on arranging tunes on their own, as well as giving a tangible arrangement to play on gigs or for practice.
As this is the second part on "Easy to Love," I'll be posting an explanation video.

So, in this first part, I'll just be posting the sheet music. The second part will have an explanation attached.
