Check out Milt's solo. It's so laid back, beautiful and swinging!

Check out this cat towards the end. I posted Glen Verez a minute ago and then found this.

Oh my god, this cat is so bad it's not even funny!!!!

I think this is so f-n incredible.

We're putting up a hand drum site now, so I'm getting to see some really cool hand drum video as well as recording Todd Isler who's a great percussionist.

This vid is mesmerizing!

We have a ton of lessons up here!!!

Some of you have really looked through all of them. What do you think is missing?? Give us some ideas.

Hi All-

It's been awhile; lots of exciting things going on around here! I have some fairly exciting news of my own: I'll be appearing at the Melbourne Jazz Festival this May with my band, Nós Novo on the 1st @ Bennett's Lane, and on the 4th with Jo Lawry's quintet. We'd of course love to see any Melbourne/Aussie vibeworkshoppers in attendance... I mean, all are welcome of course, but it's kind of a schlepp for the rest of you!

I found this rarity. The legendary New York-based percussionist and studio musician Phil Kraus jamming on a Mallet Kat(!!)with Harry and Harvey Sheppard, Isn't Harry a member of the site? Apparently it was an 80th birthday party for Harry. All three of them trade solos on the electronic mallet instrument. Mr. Kraus is the one with the glasses, dark(still!!) hair and sort of a plaid shirt. This was filmed in Houston, TX, where Mr. Kraus has lived for several years since retiring from the biz.

Hey guys not sure if this has been posted but its a really amazing video of Gary Burton and Chick Corea from 1980!

here is part 2:

The concept of lazy voicings can help you find NEW voicings. When you play lazy voicings you move voicings to the next chords closest notes. This can even help you get away from the root which is a voicing suprisingly you can usually omit, ESPECIALLY with a bass player.

Hey guys here is part 3 where I discuss one Upper structure triad option you can use for a V7 chord moving to a Minor i chord.
If you are in the key of C- the triad over the G7 would be Ebmaj. so a maj triad built off of the b6 scale degree.

Try it out!

This was the video that I made for the vibe hang last week. Somehow I couldn't get it to convert properly in time for the hang. Tony reminded me to post it, so here it is.

Hopefully I'll get it right on the next hang.

This file is a little big, so wait for it to load a bit first.
