Vibraphone

I don't think this has been posted before. Sadly there's way too little Vic Feldman video out there. He was a natural in every way. This is the Stan Levey group with Vic Felman on vibes playing "All the Things You Are." I think the arrangement of the head is very cool. It's too short, but any Vic Feldman video is good Vic Feldman video. Stan Levey was a unique drummer as well. Watching him play is like looking at a mirror image of most drummers.

Name a tune that you would like see on one of Gloria's future radio show. (Gloria has a monthly radio show where she does an all vibraphone show!!!

I'll pick the first one. My all time favorite. Gary Burton's - Chega De Saudade (No More Blues)

What's your tune?

Dear Angelo,

This is a "Who is". You are invited to tell us about your life. Whatever you like, how you feel like!

Thanks!

Guys,

So yesterday we started with Bruno the restoration of my vibes... oh man this is a great adventure! We don't know how long it will take, and how fine it will look, but we are doing it! (jeez, let it be short: I wanna play!!!!) :o(

I take a lot of pictures so far, but posting them on the site is too heavy and long work as I need to reduce them all, etc... But I guess many of you are on Face Book. So you can follow the whole process there:

Check it out!

Those of you who met me at the Delaware boot camp know I have a horrible time playing vibes in front of an audience. Part of that is just lack of confidence. And this is caused by not knowing what the hell I'm doing. So Ive decided to tackle this problem and start working live with vibes.

I booked a steady gig in duo for Wednesday evenings twice a month.
It will be a vibes and guitar duo.

Your help in determining how to do this without making a fool of myself would be greatly appreciated. Suggestions for tunes that are not too difficult in duo would be appreciated.

Hi all!

I discovered that the way I am trying to play Work Song is a quite tricky mallet dampening etude to me when I try to let the chords ring for comping. Next time I'll use a metronome - promised.

any feed back welcome, cheers Stefan

Shameless promotion ;-)

Last couple of weeks we have been busy finalizing the new midi system for our instruments.
We have just completed our first LW35 with embedded midi, and have prepared the gigVibe's design to be able to also carry the midi.

The system is a completely new design, a.o. it is smaller, so it fits inside the endblocks.
As it is now, it is only available for our instruments, but in the very near future it will also be available for other brands.

As you know I "follow" a bit the new members when they arrive. From the day he registered some 9 weeks ago, I always wondered... "For God's sake, but who is Monsieur 405"?!

Can you answer Ben? (please)

PS: in fact, I already know a few very interesting things, but hush... I will let him speak ;-)
