Barry asked me to talk about the tune invitation. So I whipped up a quick video, just talking about what makes that tune unique and why it's a great tune to study.
I'm going to do an etude and then I think if some of you guys are…
Here's another track we did for an agent that's trying to line up a few gigs for myself and Diane Monroe.
This is a ballad and notice since it's a demo, we just played the head down. No point in doing any more, they won't listen to it. It'…
Ok, so I just checked my gig calendar and untill halfway through november I counted a total of 66 gigs!! Oh man this is crazy! But guess what, I'm playing vibes in almost al of those gigs!
I really feel bad not being on the site that much…
This is a top 30 list derived from the tune list PDF Tony posted.
I was so overwhelmed by 200 tunes I needed to add some focus.
One step at a time :)

So the TOTM I think has proven to be a little difficult for some of you guys. Seems like a couple people are keeping up, but not more than that.
That's ok, even if this gets you to really learn the melodies or the chords, it's a good thing…
My buddy Bryan who is a GREAT bass player came over late last night with Chris Ashman a great tumpet player, whom I taught at U Arts.
Bryan insisted on keep the metronome on while we played. I thought I would post this.
You guys have me…
Hey Guys I was just in Italy and played on this Bergerault Vibraphone. I believe its a french company. Anyone heard of them?
The vibraphone was REALLY quiet and had a very dull sound. Although I bet alot of that had to do with my mallets…
The play along is too long so I just did the head twice and a couple of choruses. Sorry for the abrupt ending. New to Logic.
Instead of dropping mallets I added applause at the end. Its very encouraging and uplifting:)
Did a duet with myself today for fun.
You guys should try it! It's fun and it's a challenge.
sometimes I use a click track and sometimes I don't. On this version I had a simple samba beat playing in the background.
I broke down My Romance into sections. Try this approach, take little chunks of the tune and work with them. I have six sections below that cover each little part of the tune. See can understand the harmony of each one of these sections,…
I just saw this on ebay and thought it was interesting. The lower bars on this Ludwig & Leedy vibraphone have double resonators.

In the two years I have run this site, I've learned that the end of August is a pretty quiet time. I realize people are on vacation, students are getting ready for college, people are just basically chilling and waiting for Labor Day, and…
This is the first part of a multi part series on modes. When I've posted everything you'll find it in the link above here.

We have Behn's cd in our store and I've heard and it's a GREAT cd. All original compositions, right Behn? And you composed most of them as I remember.
If you want to support Behn, buy his CD.…
I HATE taking pictures. Hate hate. I was looking for a professional photographer, but I can't stand the process. So I borrowed a good camera, my wife has a good eye and I'm trying to do this the cheap AND easy way!
Anyway I had to do a…
Hi Everyone,
Wednesday, September 1st, is the second anniversary of JazzOn2 radio. To celebrate we will be airing some sample editions of our regular programming. A special one-hour edition of "Good Vibes" will be aired at 11:00 am…
Those of you who met me at the Delaware boot camp know I have a horrible time playing vibes in front of an audience. Part of that is just lack of confidence. And this is caused by not knowing what the hell I'm doing. So Ive decided to…
