We played a blues and passed the choruses around the room. Our goal was to not mess up the form or the time. We did pretty good. Just a couple of glitches!!!
I've been enjoying playing through this etude. First, I posted a slow and clear version, and then a faster version. I think the piece sounds better at a faster pace, because it gives the lines more cohesion. However, t's still a work in…
Solo Vibraphone on "Angel Eyes" - I worked on solo playing a lot with Gary Burton when I was a studying with him in the 70s at Berklee. The lessons with Gary were mind opening and very challenging. I was very fortunate to be there at the…
A funny as my shredding video is, I did get some email about it. Asking questions about playing the blues. A couple requests for an 'etude'.

Hi folks.
Trying to get back into a groove with practicing after a crazy schedule upon my return from the workshop, which was beyond excellent in every way (meeting new friends, learning, sharing, fun!)

"Come Rain or Come Shine" by Harold Arlen - Trying to get in some shedding after a little hiatus away from the vibes. Getting back into it with a classic standard by Arlen who wrote so many great songs from the early 30's through the 50s.
Alternate solo vibraphone version of the classic "Angel Eyes" using some improv and voicing concepts from The Complete Guide to Improvisation and Voicing Concepts for the Jazz Vibist. Fun and challenging for me to work on these concepts.…
Hey All,
