This is a shortened version of David F's beautiful arrangement (I left out his solo in the middle). My goal was to have it sing with expression and still stay in time. I wanted a faster tempo, but this was what I could manage for now. It's been a fabulous lesson in pedaling/dampening and making good use of all 4 sticks. I studied David's Youtube video quite a bit in the process of memorizing it phrase by phrase.

Been working on stride vibes and watching Tony's videos from the beginning of the site. If anyone has any comments, let me know!

Hey all, I'm starting a new lesson series with the goal of transferring some pianist language over to the vibes. I am a pianist and a vibraphonist, so a lot of my practicing has been doing just this.

The first is on Oscar Peterson, who is actually, I think, one of the best-suited pianists to adapt to the vibes, and I play with this stuff all the time.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot since this afternoon’s discussion. Truth in advertising: I’m definitely in the “competition is destructive “ camp in spite of my long association with jazz and its deep tradition of cutting sessions. I’m a real fan of those when they are old-school and about having a lively conversation with everyone speaking their piece. In recent decades I have felt a shift in the energy that is more like something I hated as a youngster.
