Definitely worthy of the chops festival. This is a very hard etude I wrote and worked on. I couldn't play it now, but here's the video where I once upon a time played it.
Ok, I think we've really worked hard on solo playing. I mean it's obvious some of us have and I assume some of you are working and not posting. Who knows though if you don't post. But I think those of us active on the site have gotten a lot out of all.
So let's start the Chops Festival. Etudes, exercises and more. Things that will help us build our technique.
Oh My God! That is soooo sweet!!! Thank you so much guys!!! :o)
Ok guys!!
I´ve posted an original composition by me about the last CD recorded the Marosa Jazz Project and I like share w/ all you the audio track we recorded and the lead sheet for you can read it while you are listening it. What I can to say?? If would be a great honour for me if you play that in an gig, performance... and after post it.
This morning French vibist Benoit Moerlen made me discover this jazz album that Serge Gainsbourg composed in 1958. And oh surprise, there is vibes on a few tracks!! That one is my favorite: "Jazz In the Ravine". On vibes, one of are veterans Michel Hausser! :o)
Enjoy!

ps: trivia question: beside the excellent quality of this piece, I noticed a little surprising detail... maybe it's me. Maybe you will have the same feeling... Anything you'd have to say?

Hello vibers,
For me the voicings and comping is the most hard and difficult part of my study of vibraphone. It's for that reason that I try every time to explore new ways to look to it to convert the comping playing as fluent as playing lines.
Question:
I'm a beginner vibes player, and am fortunate to play in a band that has a very wide variety of tunes in the repertoire. Don't ask me why... it just kind of worked out that way, and we're all amateurs in it for fun and doing mostly free charity stuff, so why not mix it up?!?
