A lovely song that works great as in so many ways.

I really enjoyed working on this piece out of the Mallet Dampening book. I think there's more I could do to polish the transitions between phrases, but I wanted to post this anyways to show where I'm at with it.

Just what it says! Dan and myself doing Little Suede Shoes.

I also put the parts on here if you want to try playing.

The metronome mark is 60 bpm. you should be able to line it up in a sequencing program. i actually used 120. Dan sent me the original file with a bpm of 60. it lines up great.

Old rehearsal of "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts)!" Just Vibe and Vox and spur of the moment, but still rather nice.

While we are talking about technique and music, check this out. This is so Beautiful and there's so much technique in here! The technique is astounding and the musicality and passion is incredible! David is a master at using technique musically. He blows me away.

---I say this ever time. Listen to this for one hour and you will have new vibes players and new CDs to check out. Gloria does all the curating for us.
Gloria is incredible.

Working on a few things the other day on this special song. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
