Hey who wants to meet up for dinner and then go see Bobby Hutcherson play?
Let's make a list here, then we can find a restaurant nearby and have dinner.
We'll go dutch, I'm too broke to pay for a bunch of vibe players!
I'm in.
Leave a comment and let me know if you're interested.
Shameless promotion ;-)
Last couple of weeks we have been busy finalizing the new midi system for our instruments.
We have just completed our first LW35 with embedded midi, and have prepared the gigVibe's design to be able to also carry the midi.
The system is a completely new design, a.o. it is smaller, so it fits inside the endblocks.
As it is now, it is only available for our instruments, but in the very near future it will also be available for other brands.

The Vibesworkshop videos are now available on Android phones. The app has the same functionality as the Roku app, so see http://www.vibesworkshop.com/video/vibesworkshopcom-roku-now-available/… to see how it works.
The app is available for free in the Android Market, just search for "vibes". Any feedback/problems, post here or e-mail me. Enjoy!

I have been away for a few days, came back to the workshop and watched the Branford Marsalis video and it still moves me. I read through all the posts and had the feeling that it is time to open up a new thread as too many topics are tumbling through oneanother within the original post...
Before covering the actual topic of my post, I'd like to say, that I am 90% behind Marsalis! Okay, he is being very provocative here, but hey I think he has a point.
Hey Everybody,
Recently we had the pleasure of Gloria Krolak amongst our membership. She has an fm radio show online that features all vibes and marimba players. I think it is mostly vibes. Anyway, she gave us some info in a post about her show, which happened to be tonight (Sunday) and Wednesday. I listened in and sure enough her show is a treat.
Hello everyone - as so many people liked our duo version of afro blue,I posted as an audio a few weeks ago - here is the video that proves I really played myself! Check out the new HugoBoss ultraslimline redshirt : )
Hello everyone! Here is something for the odd meter addicts! From my point of view the "Gently Disturbed" album by Avishai Cohen is one of the best JazzTrio albums from the past decade! I hope you liked what we made of it by adding the vibes. If you have the feeling that I am always playing the same - fast forward to 3:45 where I am soloing over those crazy meter changes...Have fun with the 9/16, 9/16, 9/16, 5/16 feel within a 4/4 meter!
I attached the score . for the "better" understanding : )
Here's a video of what we brought in after the first wave of vibe moving.
This is for the Delaware workshop 2010.
I had a truly great time at the Ireland workshop - Tony is a master vibraphonist and definitely a missionary preaching the gospel of jazz! I certainly learned a lot from him as well as the other players at the workshop. No man is an island and it is vital to be able to connect with other players in order to grow and mature as a musician. It was quite a blast meeting other mallet players from all across Europe!
Here's the second piece I recorded today.
This piece seems really hard for me on this vibraphone. I think I'm going to try to record this at my school whenever I get a chance to go there within the next month.
