Well, I will have to give some sort of short workshop at the WVC (World Vibes Congress) this year. I was going to take notes and keep a diary on my computer and thought I would do it here. So I'll blog here and you guys can give me your two cents.
Questions? Thoughts? What did you think? Let's talk about his book, here.
I have some things to say but I'll wait. How about some of you start. Gary will check in to answer questions and comment (I'm pretty sure).
This is another recording of an etude that I got a few months ago that I haven’t gotten around to posting. In this one I have a slight rush that I think was causing some issues when I got to the later sections of this piece, on top of a few mistakes here and there. However, I think that doesn’t detract to much from the piece itself. What are your thoughts? Feel free to respond with any feedback or questions you might have. I am/have posted some of the most recent etudes that I’ve done as well if you are interested in checking those out as well.
Here’s a recording I got of Friedman #9 I got back in October that I haven’t gotten around to posting until now. Looking back on this recording I thought it came out really well, though the biggest thing I would change now is just giving less time on that fermata. If there’s any thoughts or feedback on this I would love to hear, and any questions are fully welcome!

Hey Everyone,
Check out Paul's site: https://www.wyndorps.de/index.html
Just look at the pictures and know that he has made all of these 'contraptions' for the vibraphone. He is incredible and you guys should know about him.
Just another video from me soloing at the local jam session, on Chameleon.
Probably not a great performance, but i'm ready to read your critics and advices !

Hi VW,
Following advice from Tony, i post this video from me playing ATTYA at the local jam session.
I hope this will inspire critics and advices as this is what i'm looking for on my way for progress.
Thanks,
Olivier
I transcribed a chorus of Milt Jackson on "On Green Dolphin Street" from his album with the Oscar Peterson Trio, Very Tall. I think this recording is so beautiful. I've been digging Milt way more recently than I ever have, and really wanted to transcribe him. I also found out he had perfect pitch the other day. This was a super challenging and fun chorus to learn/play.
Please let me know what you think!!
