Vibraphone

This is swinging!

Check out this scale! Double click on the video if you want more information. This cat is playing another scale. Anyone know more about this? Not too cool to my ears.

Ok we need to pick the next tune.

who should pick it? Me? You guys? should we vote?

You want an easy tune like Blue Bossa? Just to see all the parts at work? Miss Jones? invitation?

the thing about You Stepped Out Of A Dream is we have a duet with me and Dave and tracks for some play along. It is a Tune guys play a lot but it's not on the top 20! But Maybe top 50 or 75.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking of doing the next vibe hang October 10th. Who's in?

Any European guys??

I think if you have a laptop and a video cam, it will work pretty good.

Bill Evans passed away 30 years ago today, on September 15, 1980. I've been listening to his music, which is not unusual, and I'd like to toss out some ideas I've been thinking about expanding on for a blog on my site.

You often hear about Bill Evan's influence on pianists. No surprise there, but I'm thinking that a majority of 4-mallet vibes players would also have him at the top of the list of musicians that have influenced them the most too. I think there are a number of factors at work here. One is timing.

Another vid I did with Todd Isler.

Hey who wants to meet up for dinner and then go see Bobby Hutcherson play?

Let's make a list here, then we can find a restaurant nearby and have dinner.

We'll go dutch, I'm too broke to pay for a bunch of vibe players!

I'm in.

Leave a comment and let me know if you're interested.
