The video shows the setup and playing the new foldable vibe frame.

Hi everyone,

Tony and I discussed our new TOTMs. They will be "Giant Steps" and "There Will Never Be Another You." For Giant Steps, we'll discuss the various different treatments of the tune. If Giant Steps is a little too difficult, follow the lessons for There Will Never Be Another You.

Both these tunes are great, so do both if you can! Keep on the lookout for new lessons.

THE HANG IS HERE CLICK HERE

A very special hang this Sunday at 12 noon. Unlike the other vibe hangs, this is a pro hang. I picked 4 great vibe players and asked them to come and play for about 30 minutes. So it's a little more like a sort of concert.

This week will be myself, Behn Gillece, Anthony Smith and Randy Sutin.

It's online so you can watch at home. If you are in the Philly area and want to come buy, just let me know in advance.

"Alfonsina y el mar" is an argentinian song written by Ariel Ramírez which I adapted to vibes from a flamenco guitar arrangement by Marcos Teira. The original rhythm is the zamba, from Argentina, but I play a flamenco rhythm called bulería, using the vibraphone like a guitar with arpeggios and dampened chords. The form is AAB and I played a little impro in the second AA. I hope you like it. Cheers!!!

I'm working with a great student. We are talking about trusting his ears and how to make the switch. I think that's a big thing with students. The eyes seem much safer, and in some ways they are. But for improvisational music the ears are much more fun!!
You need to make the switch and trust your ears. You need to play melodies from your eyes and forget about the music. It's hard but it's important.

After two years of behind the scenes work, we have finally upgraded the VibesWorkshop platform!
