Hi Everyone,
Hard to believe it's been three years since the birth of Good Vibes on broadcast radio, the first and only program to be dedicated to the vibraphone. That's when Tony so kindly invited me here to share the it with you.…
I did a session the other day where I had to double a very specific part. It seemed like an easy pattern, but it changed in subtle ways over time. I was presented with 2 charts: one was a straight printout of the part - no repeats, lots…
Hi,
this is a video of a piece i wrote for the emil richards rattle mallet. I needed some repertoire for the duo work with my sister Greta. Its a lot of fun when she starts to comp me on the vibes. Greta is always very nervous, when we…
Hi,
this are 3 links to the 3 movements of my CONCERTO No.3 for VIBRAPHONE & ORCHESTRA:
• 1st movement: Allegro vivace
• 2nd movement: Tango habanera
• 3rd movement: Allegro assai
Don't be surprised if the written vibraphone part is…
As you are going along your established route in life playing vibes, marimba or whatever, be aware that you can obtain some serious injuries that you may or may not have heard of. Below is a picture of me just after I got out of the…
Hello everybody ! Once again one of the joyful moments for me during the Paris workshop that I'd like to share with you. Thanks to the great David Friedman !!
This is one of my favorite all time standards .. there is such a great version of tal falow doing this ... check it out .. this is another pre mastered cut from the studio ..
Another challenge I gave myself
It's slower then the tune is supposed to be, and I don't play a solo. This was hard enough for me to do.
It's how it's written down in the new real book volume 3.
I play some mistakes, but after this…
Hello All,
Has anyone out there used the Bose L1 Compact Portable Line Array System (or the other models in the line) to amplify the vibraphone? I am planning to purchase the AMT VP-2 microphone system and consequently need to move away…
Hello everyone again!
I hope you don't mind me filling in this section with some more questions on the vibes makers?
What do you think about the Yamaha's lower end vibraphone, the small and cute YV-520 model? Would you consider it as a…
This is the A section of the tune. David Friedman wrote this out 2 yrs ago at Holland Workshop and I am having a go at it. One or two dodgy notes. Comments welcome

The month of March was dedicated to our TOTM Satin Doll: quite a few participants this time, and a lot of fun for everyone! This Monday we’ll start a new tune: Darn that Dream! So come and join us!!
We’re also announcing our Summer…
Anyone have any suggestions for a mallet that I can use to bend notes that isn't a plastic xylophone mallet? I'd love to be able to incorporate some of that stuff into my solo playing without having to hold a xylophone mallet the entire…
Hey,
In Wuppertal told David us this Timing Exercise: Record your Solo, and then comp your solo on the piano. its really harder then it sounds like. for example: I was shocked how i run away when i play lines.
Its really helpful, try it!…
I have been working on Friedman Etude No. 11 off and on for a couple weeks. Here is my progress so far. I think I would do better if I memorized it. Still working on it...
On the 3rd measure of B, there is a single Eb in the left hand.…
Wow, that was my favorite TOTM. Thanks Behn for suggesting it! It feels so good to know that a bunch of you guys are really working on this stuff. It helps me a lot. It's weird taking money from people. I really worry that people are…
