Vibraphone

Practicing improv and the application of Pentatonic scales (with one alteration) on Green Dolphin Street. The scales bring out unusual notes over the chords. #9 and #5 on Maj 7, natural 7 and #11 on Min 7 and the combination of natural/altered tensions on the Dom 7 chords.

I posted a sheet to googledocs that lists the pentatonic choices that I'm referring to when soloing. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0TwrpqjL6dQQnAybmJmM0Rma0k/view?usp=s…

Hi Everyone,
It's a little early for the November update, especially since the October rebroadcast is this afternoon at 4-6 eastern time. Hope you can tune in today! (www.jazzon2.org) You can listen on your smartphone if you download the free NPR radio app.

David,

I’d like to ask if you’d take another trip down memory lane with regards to your experiences regarding for Creed Taylor’s CTI Records as well with Rudy Van Gelder (engineer). My discovery of you started with Hubert Laws’s records, and fortunately my local AM jazz radio station was really great about naming the sidemen on all the records they played. You were well-known around my area.

Hi, This is my first video on vibes workshop. I have only been on this site for a week and it has already changed my playing. Thanks!

Check the harmonization of the melody.
Thank you!

Practicing improv (using Pentatonic scales) on Green Dolphin Street today before a class at Berklee. It's good to play on piano in order to hear how the scales and colors sound over the chord. Favorite pianists that use Pentatonics so well include Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Mulgrew Miller, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Kirkland and Dave Kikoski. When I get a chance, I'll post a sheet on googledocs that lists which Pentatonics I'm using for the changes. Ed
