This is another version of the etude that goes through the same chord changes as Blues for Alice. There's a few different approach notes in this version. Remember that when playing this etude with the additional ii-V-I's, figure out all the other tunes you can use these lines on and try it in different keys!

I am always blown away by the Vbook. There is so much stuff in there, I can't believe it. 

I just did some lessons on the tune peace and went to put them in the folder and I couldn't believe how many lessons we have on Peace now. 

It's a good tune to study!

I'm just talking through the tune Peace. My 2 cents kind of thing!!!

Just talking about the tune and ways to play it. Come up with your version! 

The audio and the pdf is attached. 

I tried something new and talked through the piece. Is this helpful? 

Print out the pdf to not only practice but for notes with the video. 

This etude goes through the same chord changes as Blues for Alice. One thing to keep in mind is that when playing this etude with the additional ii-V-I's, figure out all the other tunes you can use these lines on. Also, try it in different keys!

Here's another dampening etude. We change keys here, Bb, another very common blues key. Some of these lines actually work great not just as bass lines, but solo lines! You can hear players like Hank Mobley occasionally playing these bass type lines.

This is a solo vibe piece Tony Miceli commissioned me to write for him. Let me know what you guys think! These are the program notes I wrote for the piece:

This piece was written in April of 2024 upon commission from Tony Miceli, professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While taking private lessons with him, we began experimenting with timbral effects on the vibraphone, and one of my assignments was to write a solo vibraphone piece surrounding this idea. Thus, this piece was born.
