Vibraphone

'Odyssey of Iska' came about when Wayne called me personally to play on new album. I was, of course, thrilled beyond belief to asked to play on such a project with those great musicians. Wayne wanted to try electric vibes, which I had been experimenting a bit with with Hubert Law's band. Maybe Wayne heard the recording I did with Hubert and was intrigued. Although I used the vibe pickups occasionally, I wasn't confident with the set up, amp, etc. So, my friend guitarist Steve Khan, came to the session with me and helped me set up, adjust the amp, etc..

Working on Chi Chi, here's my introductory lesson- learn how the melody delineates the changes over a Bird blues.

...just a little clip I recorded a few days ago...
I hope you like it!

Hope you enjoy it.

Ha ha ha ha. Sorry I thought of the corniest title I could think of. It's not the way I think, however.....

3 people at concerts recently have come up to me and said how lucky I was to have been given this gift. Let's dissect this from my point of view.

It's funny because after a bunch of concerts I'm thinking, wow, I sucked! Then someone comes up and says something about a gift!!! :-)

Check out the PDF about the Marimbalite. It's great!

This video was recorded in Dec. 2013 on the legendary »Fröhliche VibeNacht« we did in the church of Haukes hometown Zetel (Lower Saxony/Germany). Each one of us starts with a solo version of a tune followed by an accompanied improvisation.
We hope you enjoy it!
(and sorry for the music stands...)
