Vibraphone

Some choruses based upon Tony Miceli's written out chorus which is available for download from The Vibes Workshop. The first chorus is Tony's written out solo while the subsequent choruses are improvised using some of Tony's specific notes, phrases and ideas from his written out solo. Tony's solo was posted as "Orthinology Simple Solo" very recently.

I hope you're working on Just In Time.

No matter what level you are at, it's worth it to work along with us.
Even just learning the melody and the chords is something.

If you're knew at this, read through one of the etudes or solos. Think about the chords and what's happening. Maybe you will have questions.

That brings us to the pop up class for subscribers. Here's a chance for us to come together and talk about stuff, around this tune (Just In Time).

Hey All,
Put December 5th on your calendar for the December edition of Good Vibes. 8pm eastern,
jazzon2. And Dec 8 at 4pm.
There's a sprinkling of holiday/winter tunes, a dash of standards, a dollop of rock and pop remakes on Where Jazz Goes and my always interesting patter. Learn why the theme song from Frasier, played by Gary Burton and Friends, is named "Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs."
Shows are also posted after they air on JazzOn2 on mixcloud.com. Search Good Vibes with Gloria Krolak.

Hey everyone,

Here's part two in this mini-series. In this one, I focus on dominant 13 (#11) chords, explain where to play them, why they exist, and how to solo over them. And, most importantly, why you have to treat every dominant chord you encounter differently, depending on context.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello all,

This is a topic I've been wanting to cover for awhile, and I finally made a video on. I think this is something that jazz education (at least in my experience) hasn't covered enough. It's how, in the key of C, you need to play differently on an E7, compared to a Bb7, compared to a G7, compared to an F7. They all have different scales and extensions that accompany them.

It's not all hard science, but a lot of it is! I heard someone say once that 99% of music is teachable, mathematical facts, and 1% is magic. So learn the 99%!

So I teach some Argentinian students online. We always put on live captioning in Zoom.

Maybe you guys know this, but why not turn on zoom when you are watching a VW lesson.
Screen share the screen. Now you can watch the video and see the live captioning below.

Is that a good idea? Just thought I'd pass it on. It does not translate (yet), but you can at least here and read the english.

What do you think?
