He's a great vibe player! You know of him?
Here's a track from Soundcloud. There's more there
A little warmup and fun today playing on “How Deep Is the Ocean” by Irving Berlin. Pretty tight quarters in the hand percussion room at Berklee.
This comes from this page: https://www.crj-online.org/v2/CRJ-LemWinchester.php
I just wanted to back it up somewhere. It looks like an old web page and I figured if someone would take it down we'd still have a copy of it.
Remembering Lem Winchester
The venue (my home) will be acoustically treated for great live sound and concerts will be one hour each. It will be a BYO beer and wine arrangement. There will be bar tables set up with bar stools for guest's comfort. In addition to live solo vibraphone, I will share my stories of Music, Fire and Antarctica with a finale of big screen slides and video of Antarctica accompanied by my live music. It's going to be a great project.
Beautiful isn't it?
Did I post this already???? Damn!
I like this. We talk about a lot of notes. Here is a lot of notes, but I love the playing, the interaction and all the vibistic stuff. The instrument kind of sings in a way. The pedal work is great and add phenomenal dampening and pedaling and this is some great stuff. I wonder what Methany thinks. I watch his face during the solos. Gary is very busy. Does he dig it? I would imagine he does.
What do you guys think??
Applying the solo vibraphone technique of Dual Function LH over Rhythm Changes with Charlie Parker's composition "Anthroplogy". Gary Burton taught me this technique way back when I studied with him in the 70s at Berklee College of Music. I was revisiting this technique while working on my solo vibraphone book. It's a nice technique that allows us to play two handed lines while also keeping some left hand accompaniment going under the lines. Regarding the concept, we play lines between the two hands.
