This was the video that I made for the vibe hang last week. Somehow I couldn't get it to convert properly in time for the hang. Tony reminded me to post it, so here it is.
Hopefully I'll get it right on the next hang.
This file is a little big, so wait for it to load a bit first.

I have an effects pedal that has a very basic looper on it, so I decided to get it out yesterday and see what happened. Insensatez is a tune I use a lot because it sounds cool as a fast samba or partito alto funk, but it sounds just as good as a slow ballad. This is the version I came up with Saturday morning, let me know what you think!
Did you ever watch a video or listen to music and it just seemed nice. Not flashy or anything just nice? I keep coming back to this video and just like it. This guy's not doing anything spectacular but I think it's simple and cool.
Isn't that the art of making music? To ALSO be able to play simply and capture a listener? I think of folk guys like John Prine and Steve Earl and others who just play simple music but it holds your attention!
Ok just thinking out loud here.
In the first half of the video is a Morello Drum solo. It's pretty smokin.
Hi all,
I'd like to introduce for those who don't know him Emmanuel Séjourné, a great mallet master here in France.
He's a great pedagogue, composer, player, with appart from mastery, humor and fantasy.
He's playing here a marimba piece with six mallets, a few partners... and fun!
His website: http://www.emmanuelsejourne.com/
Enjoy!

Marco is a great vibes player.
Some time ago, when this place was still at its genesis, I remember Tony wrote this "Music is a language".
Hungarian member Richard Szaniszlo linked this tune today on his FB, and I thought it was a great way to get back to this little phrase... from the Boss of the place, here so well 'illustrated' by a huge language master...
I love the way he speaks through his guitar, really talking to us...
Enjoy!

This is really cool watching Mario build a tune.
We just heard Alice Mc Leod-Coltrane on some of Terry Gibbs special tracks here. I was just wondering... We've heard that she, among piano, harp, organ, also played the vibes... But there are nearly no information on that part of her career. Who said she was great at this instrument too? Bruce was that you?
So I was just wonder, Mr Gibbs, I'm sure you could help us and make her memory live again here... Would you like to share your souvenirs of Alice with us? That would be so great!!

Stéphane was a subscriber online here for a long time. He went on to focus on the hand drums, but he's a really good vibe player. Check him out. We miss him (known as Tifoo on the site)
