I am on the events committee for the Vibraphone Project Inc.. It was set up to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the vibraphone which is now.

The organization needs vibe players to join committees and help it be successful. I think this organization is going to do a lot of great things for the vibraphone.

So please consider helping. Email vibraphoneprojectinc@gmail.com and talk to Brian Graiser and see where you would like to fit it and help us celebrate the vibraphone.

June 14-18 we are going to have a very special 5 day workshop.
6 classes a day featuring:

David Friedman
Joe Locke
Stefon Harris
Warren Wolf
Tony Miceli

and some other guests.

Info should be coming shortly. This is really incredible. Each of us will do a class each day for the 5 days.

There will be a concert on the Final Day with all of us in person.

Let me know if you're in.

This is for subscribers.

Yesterday, Barry asked me if I thought the software I use for production could clear the frame noise out of the wonderful performance that David had posted several years ago. The short answer is, yes, it can and it can do it without much detrimental effect upon the music.

caravan is a good tune to work on. Just like Green Dolphin Street in a way it's half modal and then have changes. And the chages are great to work on, dominant chords! 3 of them, 2 are regular 9 chords and then a diminished going to Ab and then down a half step to an altered chord. So it's actually 4 dominant chords.

What do you think, - Tony

We would do the same deal. You get in the class by playing the melody and then the chords. Do it with Ireal pro with no piano turned on.

Behn's class is on.

Attend only if you've posted yourself playing the melody and the chords to I'll Remember April.

You guys are doing great. It's what I wanted. It's really fun to work with people who do the work. It's gratifying and I teach but I can also learn from you guys.

I will do more of these!!!!

Your imagination is only limited by what you know!

I love this quote and it sums up everything for me.

I know what it means to me, what does it mean to you?

I've been dreaming of a graduated bar Mallet Kat closely matching the playing surface of a vibraphone.
*** So you can use the same ingrained mallet spread or spacing for both instruments !
A Mallet Kat is essentially an electronic mallet instrument that plays any sound you want.
All the pads are the same size.
You plug it into any amp or sound system. We may add a built in, for practice, speaker.

Why don't you write an etude for the book?
We need an etude, a youtube video of you playing the etude well and a description.
