My student Sangwon is doing a paper comparing Milt to Gary and he's starting off with the history of the vibraphone.
I know there's stuff up here about the history. Anyone know where some is? Anyone know of any other links?
@Sangwon - start with this link: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/search/node/history%20of%20the%20vibraphone
Here we go. Ok. Just in Time is a VERY cool tune for many reasons. I'll save those for my lessons which will come soon.
Just to let you guys know.
We're setting up the workshop for winter. I think it will be in Dusseldorf in a music school. Here's what I know.
We'll have a few instruments.
We'll have practice rooms.
We'll have an evening percussion ensemble.
It should be the end of February.
I'll know more this week. But it's looking good! We needed a place where we could practice, etc.
This is a cool set of vibes. i JUST FORGOT to get him to play something!
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!

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.
