Vibraphone

Simply working on some basics with some Friedman Etudes. Feedback welcomed!

I'm in the jazz combo at my university this semester (Cal State, East Bay), and I was thrilled to find the music department has a beautiful instrument. Apart from a missing damper bar adjustment nut, it looks to be in good shape, and the bars sound great. The motor even works! Difficult to find in most music departments.

Check this out. Listen to Lem's solos. This is great stuff to transcribe if you are learning the language. Also as transcribing goes it's not too difficult.

Have you figured out what that means?

Head 1 chorus Head.

I do that a lot when i practice. just to make sure I play the head in and out. It feels a bit like a tune. This is not like doing a mini concert. It's the opposite, however at least you're still in the form of a tune. I really like doing it.

I'll be in Italy for A Percussion Festival next September. We are also setting up some gigs for after the festival! There is a vibe competition at this festival. Check out the post here.

PDF of chord melody is attached.

A very very swinging album!

And check out the sound of the vibes. Magical!

Some great stuff!
