Gary sent this to me and I'm posting on his behalf - Tony Miceli
My first thought when I got the news that Bobby Hutcherson had passed away this week was to recall one of the rare occasions when we crossed paths, and actually it was the…
Hey everyone,
Very excited about finding this one. Been using it a lot lately. Has anyone ever heard of it? I assume I haven't invented it, but I haven't ever heard of it, either, so I'd be curious to hear if anyone's heard this before.…
Using Ewe drums, the Yambu clave is played on the bell and low drum. On high drums, Son and Rumba clavé weave around the Yambu. An original clavé phrase (rotating the son to a different position) joins the series. The 4/4 sequence…
Here's the link to the watch party. We discuss a bit at the end of the video.
Let's have a watch party on Feb. 13, 12pm East Coast Time.
We can do it on the VibesWorkshop Facebook page.
I'd like to watch the Milt Jackson interview…
Thanks to Barry K!
I love hearing Milt talk about playing with 4 mallets! And saying because of his speed he can do the same things as four mallet players!
Interesting!
My quartet has its first performance since I moved to Colorado tomorrow night. The set runs from 7-8:15 pm (Mountain time).
It will be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook at the links below. I have also posted the event's description.…

In yesterday's presentation for the Vibes Congress, David proclaimed that he was NOT Satchitananda Guru. OK. I get it, but... I've spent time in both worlds and, given the things he was talking about, this made me have a moment of "…
Hey everyone,
Here's another lesson on dampening. This is a subtle topic that relates to how you actually physically press the mallet into the bar when you dampen. You can use varying dampening speed to create clean-sounding dampening,…
Here is a song from my book - Vibraphone Virtuosity: Advanced Progressive Etudes. I hope you enjoy
my vibraphone solo, Etude No 35, taken directly from my book!
Attached is me (Vibes) and my Dad (MIDI Accordion) playing a Latin tune called Cumana written by Barclay Allen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumana_(song)
In the late 80s, I bought a kit to retrofit MIDI into my Dad's electronic accordion…
Hey everyone,
Just a little technical exercise I've been working on that has some great applications for using all four mallets in your lines, and for producing a constant arpeggiating effect.
Thinking about dampening, deadstroking, stride piano, sliding, big band shout choruses, walking bass lines, block chords, and much more! Let me know what you think!
I'm always amazed at those old xylo players. Honestly I can't believe that that instrument was that popular. It's bizarre to me.
But Teddy is great, and I'm always watching his videos.
It's also interesting to me to listen to music…
This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or…
