My homework is always late!
I tried to play the melody with mallet dampening as an exercise.
I'm trying too hard to use this sound that I was having some fun with. I think it sounds better in person than on the video-but I like it. I will def use it less in a real performance-but I think it sounds kinda cool.
Any thoughts on the best way to avoid getting tangled up?
Thanks
If you're in the Philly Area and free tomorrow afternoon, come check out the Essentially Ellington jazz fest at Temple University. There should be a lot of great HS bands there as well as some awesome clinics with local pros, I'm playing around 2 with the Pennsbury concert Jazz Band, we'll be playing Three and One (thad jones), Cherry Juice (thad jones), and Lightnin' (ellington). Hope to see ya there!
Hi there, what a beautiful winterworkshop 2013 in Wuppertal. One of personal highlights was performing with Tony on stage. Have fun!!!

Oh what a night!
Tonight I did something I never thought I would do: I drove 45 minutes to a jazz club to sit in with pro musicians I barely know who've been playing longer than I've been alive. Wow...I will admit I almost chickened out, but I'm glad didn't!
Happy Birthday to David Friedman!
Hi All,
I'm currently undertaking a Research Masters in Composition at the University of Sydney and invite Vibes Workshop members to take part in a short online survey of seven questions below to aid my research into the use of technology by keyboard percussionists such as pickups, the malletkat and synthetic sounds along with how these affect composition approaches.
A full copy of the research project conditions and official documentation are posted here as a downloadable attachment also.
Thanks and looking forward to your responses !
