Vibraphone

This piece is from Joe Locke's "Six New Pieces for Solo Vibraphone" available for sale on his website - joelocke.com. I met Joe for the first time at PASIC (Percussive Arts Society International Convention) held a few weeks ago and had a chance to chat with him for a bit. He mentioned these new fully composed works for solo vibraphone and said that he was looking forward to hearing some other players interpretations. So Joe - this one's for you. Hope you like it. It's a great composition and much fun to play!

Hi guys. I decided to get into the challenge of the Mini concert. I hope you'll enjoy.

Solo piano clip of 2 choruses of Harold Arlen's "Over The Rainbow" with Keith Jarrett changes along with modulation as follows: first A in Eb, second A in F, bridge in F and last A in Db. This was taped during my Berklee improv class this past summer by pianist Ricardo Curto. The lead sheet can be viewed on Scribd here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113437494/Over-the-Rainbow-Reharm-Modulation

Ok, that's enough with the chops, huh? I'm away for one week. Behn said he'd shoot me if I didn't end the chops TOTM.

So let's get back to a tune. ok? Just In Time me and Behn were thinking of.

I think Behn has one more chops exercise, so we'll start rapping things up. In as week we'll start JUST IN TIME.

My semester is coming to a close and I'll get some lessons up. I have more from Christos.

How about some more mini concerts? I love them!

Maybe a vibe hang in December?

Check this out.

Seven Rungs of Resistance
There are 7 basic rungs of resistance up the ladder of artistic success

1. Ignorance - Not your fault. Generally the result of a polluted environment. No one
knows, so you don't know.
Example: You think funk is jazz.

2. Miseducation - Your teachers are well meaning, but just don't know. It's no one's
fault. Example: someone tells you, you have to study classical music to become a jazz
musician. Bad advice.

3. Personal difficulties - You just have some major personal problems to overcome.

hi all people

I"m doing a recording in Dusseldorf with David Friedman. We decided to make it a sort of live concert. But we'll only invite 20 people I think. Any VW members interested? Gonne be around Dusseldorf? Now sure if they are charging to tickets, I think they might be.

Let me know if you want to come? The audience will be in the recording studio with us. Matthais says there is room.

The recording is Monday, November 26, probably starting around 7 PM.
