Hi all!

John Hollenbeck's newest release "Rainbow Jimmies" The Music of John Hollenbeck is a great CD! I've been listenning to it non-stop these past days!

I thought that it would be a good idea for you to check it out because besides the fact that it is full of great compositions, it features a vibes player: Matt Moran.

I think we'll be having another vibe hang this saturday! I think Behn Gillece will be here and I'm trying to get Patty Franceschi and maybe a couple other players from the area over.

Also Marc Prz will be on bass. I'm hoping for 1pm east coast USA time. As it gets closer we'll zero in more on the actual time.

The Vibe Hang Will Be Here

I'll be mailing cds tomorrow the day after Christmas. I went several times and the lines were so long! Tomorrow should be fine. So you should have them soon!

This is pretty cool! Check out Joe's solo. I was just looking around and this floored me. The thing I also dig is their re-interpretation of the tune. I hear a lot of reinterpretations these days and a lot are so far removed from the original that I personally get a little turned off. It's obvious that Keeser knows the path back to Summertime (IMHO).

Bars, resonators and their tuning.

Base of the vibes' sound ofcourse are the bars, and in a huge amount the (tuning of) the resonators.
I'll try to explain in the next article how to tune the bars, how to tune the resonators, and how to get the best benefit from the resonators.

Bars.

It is widely know that vibe bars have their fundamental tuned, and the first overtone to a double octave.

Last minute post and just a long shot, but if anyone is here from the Harrisburg, PA area, I'm at the Harrisburg Hilton tonight. Trio, John Ragonese (sax), and Micah Jones (bass).

Just thought I'd mention it. Probably should have posted this a few days ago.

The Hilton is a great Jazz Room. Sometimes it gets noisy, but for the most part it's cool.

We're all excited here at vibesworkshop.com because Ed Saindon has agreed to become part of our faculty. Ed will be posting lessons and more, hanging out with us at the vibe hangs! Helping all of us to get better on the instrument. Ed has been playing and teaching on this instrument for YEARS now. So he has a ton to offer!

I just thought I'd announce that. I'm going to put up his section of the site hopefully today and then he'll start sending lessons down!
