Vibraphone

A few errors I know. Sometimes I play it without fault. But if I do, they are not returning errors. Each time another note. I think it's the stress of ending it without errors that makes me make them.

I was really satisfied with this one (even with the errors) for the main reason that I was relaxed while playing.

P.S. 2 posts today, to end before I go on holiday. I didn't thought I could finish both, at a moment I thought I couldn't finish neither, but yesterday I regained confidence to post both of them.

(The other one is friedman etude n°6)

Guys, here's another clip from the Berklee Percussion Festival concert. This clip is an original by Matt Marvuglio titled Why Cry. A very nice composition. We played this on the recording that Matt, Barry Smith and I did awhile ago. It's actually the title of the CD. If you want a lead sheet, just let me know. Ed

Here's a short clip of Pat Metheny and Chick Corea talking about their experiences playing with Burton.

This is a lick using melodic minor. You hear this lick everywhere. It comes from a basic voicing. Check it out!

Bent Clausen on vibes.

He's the reason of my renewed love for vibes. He's responsible for the fact that I got rid of my xylophone and bought a vibraphone.

Hi guys, here's a clip from a concert that we played on 6/20 at Berklee. The concert was part of the weeklong Percussion Festival that featured classes, ensembles, clinics and concerts. Gustavo Agatiello and I opened the week with a duo vibe performance on Monday at 10:30 AM.

About the band in this clip:

Matt Marvuglio is on flute. Matt is the Dean of the Performance Division at the college. We've been playing together for many years. He's a wonderful musician and flautist. We've been on many trips together for clinic/concerts and have had fun times hanging and playing.

yea, in SC, where I came from... it is 113
also I have a question for you, if you have a second to spare

wow, that's crazy. sure, fire away.

10:00am
so I was listening to the version of ATTYA you posted on vibesworkshop
the one that has a lot of "out" colors to it
the more I listen to it, the more I see it's brilliance

yes, the one that sounds like I'm playing the wrong changes. Ha!Ha!

it is a work of art, Ed
it really is

thanks

and what really drives everything home, I feel like, is the feel
it feels so good
and that is where my question lies

I'm sitting here listening to Clifford Brown practicing over Cherokee. He's working out his s***. I did this because I was working out my stuff on cherokee this morning since I'll have to play it in Korea in August! I'm going to start practicing it now. While in Ireland doing a tribute to MJQ, I'm going to play it on the gigs. Just throw it in (John Daly start working on you FAST tempos). So I'll be working on this for the next 60 days.
