Patrice recently joined us. He's from the lovely French region of Bordeaux. But... we'd like to know MORE!!
So, who is Patrice Guillon? huh?
I found this video on Facebook. I dug Patrice's playing and his 4 mallet playing. Sometimes I do a test when I'm listening to guys, I turn the sound off and just watch them. Patrice has a nice feel IMHO. And I thought he had a nice flow in his playing and nice technique. So check him out!
The video on Facebook syncs up much better than this youtube video.
I won't be writing stuff out. We're going to use our ears. I know already that that's very difficult with 15 vibe players in the room, but the alternative of writing stuff out just doesn't work for me.
You might want to get into the swing of things by transcribing a little bit each day. Take a solo and just go 1 bar a day.
We're going to sing also, so you might want to put on Aebersold and start singing solos and getting into the swing of things.
More to come!
Hey everyone,
I haven't posted in a while but I'm really going to try and start posting more. This is Joe's solo on Verrazano Moon from his gig at Dizzy's on Jan. 30th, 2010. This was definitely a big challenge for me but I had such a great time working on it.
Thanks!

I met Gloria through Randy Sutin. Gloria might be the only radio DJ in the world with an all vibes show!!!
Anyway Gloria, a "Who Is" is a post where you can tell us about yourself. So I hope you don't mind Gloria but tell us about yourself and your radio show!!
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.

Things aren't always what they look like.
I've posted two links to the workshop forums on the front of the site for convenience. Workshop people should check there for news and also post any questions they have. I'm going to start the ball rolling, with things, just to get to know you guys and get you working on things. So check in often, and put questions there.

I'm thinking of how to celebrate our 2 years anniversary.
Here's what I'm thinking. Let me know what you think:
How about a 20 minute concert from Monday to Saturday, by different members. You could video it or do it live. I'd rather you did it live! It's better for all of us, knowing it's really happening in the moment, (or a moment behind).
Then Saturday, have a Day of the vibraphone. That is from 12 unitil 5 on Saturday we'll have have 40 minute concerts every hour. Until 5.
