The Dampening and Pedaling Open Source Book

Welcome to the Dampening and Pedaling open source book.

This is book is created to help vibe players work on Dampening and Pedaling. The book is dedicated to the master of dampening and pedaling, David Friedman. David wrote the definitive book on dampening and pedaling.

Use this book as an extension to that book. I really recommend getting David's book.

It could happen to You (J.v. Heusen + J. Burke) Solo-Arrangement for Vibraphone by Franz Bauer

During the Part of the Corona-Crisis, where almost everything seemed to stand still, i decided to work on Solo-Arrangements of 2 Jazz-Standards for Vibraphone. The first one is 'It could happen to you' as a medium Swing Piece and the second is 'Somewhere over the Rainbow', which i'll upoad soon after this. It was a great challenge to find 'Solo-Arranging' Ideas, especially when it comes to developing a reliable left hand, while the right hand or both hands go out for ideas or even just the melody.
