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 an exercise of blues solo. One chorus written using chord tones on the beats, and (mostly) blues scale and bebop dominant scale tones as passing notes.
From the New York Times;
A judge in Washington on Friday tossed a lawsuit filed by the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts against a jazz musician who canceled a performance at the venue’s annual Christmas Eve concert last year after the center’s board added President Trump’s name to the building.
In case you haven't seen this yet, you MUST watch it!
Hello everyone! I'm pleased to share my senior recital performance from April! This month, I graduated with my undergrad from Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University with a major in Jazz Performance for vibraphone and a minor in Public Relations! I want to say a big thank you to Tony Miceli, who was my teacher/mentor throughout my 4 years and beyond! Thanks for telling me about Temple and making me fall in love with the city of Philadelphia! Below is the program, and I hope you enjoy watching:)
Here's my version. Where is yours!
Here's my take of Tony's blues super pack transcription in Bb.
'We had a great vibe coffee hang with Gary! '
We talked about a lot interested things. Had some great questions!!!
I've kept this going most of my adult life. Just putting ideas of the vibraphone in a mind map. If you don't know what mind maps are, look them up, they are cool!
I use this a lot when I'm teaching. You probably will have to download it and blow it up to see everything.
