Here is a sample track from a new recording I've just completed. The units will be available by around mid September. I turned 60 in July and this new CD kind of marks the occasion (and hopefully reminds me that 60 is not old!) Ted.

Didn't do SH** today. And that pisses me off big time. Any other pros get pissed at how much BS we have to do. I'm a struggling musician that still has to do 1-3 hours of office work every frickin' day. Add to it, running the site,…

Hello Nico, Even though you are not the manufacturer of these products I was wondering whether you could ( given your expertise )comment on the major differences between the MUSSER M58 Piper Vibe and the M55 . Thank you.

I had a lesson with Tony today and after the lesson we started talking about learning the tradition and how mentors are key figures in that process. I was telling him that I read an article about this issue on a magazine. The name of the…

Sure it's C/C# but it's a bunch of other chords. The thing about the vibes is since we omit the root and even the fifth we can reuse voicings for other chords. So name them.

Ok here's the deal with this one. Add the fourth note and then tell me all the possibilities of chords. For instance I'll add a D in the voicing. So it could be a Bbmaj7b5. What else could it be. There's more. After this add a different…

What is a Four Cord? In the Jazz Vibraphone book on the Milt Jackson chapter I read on page 33: "Blue notes emphasizing the Four Chord" and "One Chord Dominant 7th, b9 scale leading to Four Chord". I have no idea what is referred to. Who…

Watch this and imagine doing this on the vibes. It works right? This is what I talk about when I say to me the vibes are very similar to the guitar. Conceptually this style and approach is in a big way (although not the only way) how we…

I used to write the chord on a piece of paper and then list all the possibilities. Next I'd go through and try to play the voicing in a few tunes. What are all the possibilities of this voicing?

Hey VW, Tony is always encouraging folks to share what they are working on, and I like being able to do that on the site. I thought Joe's Cyclic Episode trio sounded great! I am also trying to keep a trio going these days (here is a…
