Hello Vibes Workshop,

Here is one video performance of "Beautiful Love" with my former band "Light Motif" in Grenoble (city in France in the Alps).

Sorry for the bad sound, the talking audience and the "dancing" girl !! :)

Actually I'm new here, and I can't wait until having some "new" video or audio material to post here. This video is one year old...

My recording / filming setup at home is not yet fully operational, but I'm working on it and looking forward to post some new stuff.

Anyway, feedback and critiques are welcome!

Thanks,

Hi all!

At a period when the kitchen will soon be a very important and full room, I found this fun video on Youtube: students of Danish vibist Martin Fabricius playing "Wok Amok", said Martin: "A piece of mine written in 2000 for 2 chefs and 2 helpers".

Martin is not "yet" a member here, but is registered on thevibe.net and studied with Ed Saindon. You can find his details and vids with him on this youtube link, are more on his website: http://www.martinfabricius.eu/index.html

Enjoy!

This is pretty cool.

They were a little shy, but check out the Curtis Students! I did you my end of semester workshops with them and they rocked!

They have such a great attitude, and are great musicians. Today they were reading down the tune summertime and soloing over it. Before that they were creating improv pieces out of modes. These are students who have done little or no improvising so far. They did a great job! I'll ask them if I can post a couple versions of there Summertimes.

Hi all,

Remember this video I recently posted about vibist Les Blachut and his "adventures" on stage?

If not, you can find it back here:

Well I got another one from him on Facebook!

Sorry for the poor sound. Just keep an eye up to 1'02, and then 3'10! He just cracked me up! :o)

Hi All,

In Newsweek online, there's an article call "Jazz is Dead. Long Live Jazz" (see http://www.newsweek.com/id/226331). I'm not sure I can decode a coherent message from the article, but one of the comments seems to be about the friction between jazz's pop/dance music roots and it's art music present (and arguably last 40-50 years or so), and judging the quality of today's jazz vs. yesterday's on the basis of popularity is the wrong approach. It also seems to me that the article does better with "Jazz is Dead" than it does with "Long Live Jazz".

Andrew is a freshman at the University of the Arts. And he's a hard working freshman! He came to the vibe hang today and played minority. Check it out!

Man we had a great vibe hang today! Great players and great music! It seemed like we had the whole world together. I counted France, Netherlands, Germany, USA, China and Australia. Pretty cool huh?

It's like we have this growing community now of vibe players who love the instrument and want to play it well. That's really cool to me.

David Friedman said something great about the site. He said, the site was built around my hard work, and also vibe players with passion and desire. (Something like that). That floored me and it was the truth.
