Incorporating Brubeck Ideas into your Solo Vibe Practice and Performance

vale5431 3 June 2016

Hey Vibeworkshop,
Im currently getting ready for my recital and one of the pieces that I am playing on my recital is a reduction, I'm currently working on, of the ever popular Strange Meadow Lark by Dave Brubeck. As I study the piece and boil down the transcription to an honest reduction I really started to see the genius of Brubeck's solo playing. So today I would like to break down all the techniques and ideas he used while playing the melody of the tune and how we can incorporate those ideas to other standards and ballads.

Improvising on the B Minor Double from Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo

ed saindon 2 June 2016

Improvising on the B Minor Double (Sonata II) from Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo. One of my favorite books of music from Bach which is perfect for vibists. Fun and great practice improvising over the changes to classical pieces like this. Sometimes I'll do this with my students at Berklee. We'll select a piece of music, analyze the progression, write in the chord progression and begin to improvise.
