There's your code for free shipping for Anthony Smith's book "Masters of the Vibes".

I'm not sure the details for Europe. I'm looking into it.

Here's a track from a recent recording session I did at my university. I have been working on my solo playing and thought it would be worthwhile to try to record a bunch of tunes. Not everything turned out as well as I would have liked, but I did learn a lot about what to work on. This was my favourite. It's a tune in 3/4 by a friend of mine. I'll post the lead sheet if anyone's interested.

Beautiful piece of music that I sketched out for vibes and a little personal interpretation.

Hi vibes lover in this lesson I'll talk about my idea of composing.
I will explain how I wrote the Aforisma n#2 from my new book called AFORISMI - 11 etudes for solo vibraphone

I LOVED Victor Feldman! He was a pretty busy studio player back in the day but ventured out and recorded some GREAT vibe recordings. I went to his house for lessons a few times and it was a huge treat but like the other masters I studied with, I wish I was a better student. Victor was an amazing artist.

This is from wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Palmer_(musician)

John Michael "Poli" Palmer (born 26 May 1943 in Worcester) is an English rock musician who was a key member in the progressive rock band Family. Though he was not an original member, he was regarded as being integral to the group's sound. He played the vibraphone, flute, piano, synthesizers and occasional drums, and he was with the band from late 1969 until late 1972.

Back in the mid-1980's I started using pencil grips on my mallets. I was obsessed with finding and eliminating every little thing that contributed to extraneous noise on the vibraphone. As I became a little more known for my "Vibraphonics", I got an endorsement opportunity with Michael Balter to make the John Piper Mallet. I sent him pencil grips and told him the mallets have to include the orange ones (see photo) because for some unknown reason, the orange ones have a better feel and longer lasting quality.
