Vibraphone

This is the AABA structure of Sophisticated Lady according to the Real Book, with an attempt to include some of the descending 7th chords that characterize this piece. My timing's crap and it needs a solo section.

So, there's this lick I'm struggling with -- see the attached PDF and mp3 (from midi). I want it to go at about quarter note equal 160 (the speed of the midi), but I'm not even close, maybe about quarter note equal 100-120. Any suggestions beside repeat until I get it or die of frustration? (there has been a lot of this so far :-)).

Here is a chord scale chart that lists available chord scales for various chord types. This is a two page excerpt from the Chord Scale Theory chapter of the book.

Hi Everyone,
My February show will reflect the World Vibes Congress by playing almost all of the professional players who were there and made such invaluable contributions.
The only exception is Ed Smith -- I don't yet have any of his recordings but am expecting them in time for the March program.
I will talk a bit about the conference and what a treasure the jam turned out to be.
The first hour will include these (and others):
"New Shores" by Stefan Bauer
"Summertime" with Gary Burton (when he was only 21) and Stan Getz
"The Dog Days" Behn Gillece

Hi everyone!
I am looking for sites to create my own website since it's very important nowadays! I know that there are some that gives you domain and host like image, go daddy, webhost and others. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
Dimitris

Great intro by David

It's a new year, and after being so inspired at WVC, I want to make a resolution.

Every morning, I spend time exercising before heading to work. I only have a few minutes so it's never a full workout, just some pushups or jumping jacks to start the day. I've been doing this awhile and it's a great habit, so now I want to do the same with music. I can certainly afford to wake up a couple minutes earlier to make time for vibes.

Here's a version of All The Things You Are with bassist Mark Carlsen and I. We play a lot of gigs together around Boston. I have to say that duo playing is probably one of my favorite formats. The listening and interaction is so clear and focused. Anyways, if anyone is in the Boston area, we are playing this Saturday, 1/11, at Li's in Haverhill. MA starting at 6:30.
