Here's my arrangement or etude on Chega. Of course inspired by Gary Burton's untouchable version! None the less I thought inspired by his version it might be fun for us to give it a shot.
Pedaling? If it troubles anyone I can think about it but I more less just fluttered the pedal on every beat except for the obvious places.
Hello,
Just wanted to inform everyone that I'm doing a CD release party for my co-led record with Ken Fowser at Chris' Jazz Cafe. It's this Saturday, April 11 at 8PM. You can get directions, etc. from Chris's website www.chrisjazzcafe.com The band is:
Ken Fowser- tenor sax
Behn Gillece- vibraphone
Jeremy Manasia- piano
Adam Cote- bass
Jason Brown- drums
Hope to see you there!
Behn,
This is something I've been working on since moving to Boston and studying with Ed. There is an article from PAS that somebody has posted on here already that explains the mechanics of Ed's fulcrum grip but this video really shows it in action.
Make sure to watch the whole thing... everything is shown with multiple camera angles.

This is along the same lines of the video of singing tips that Tony posted. The only difference is that I think this guy is serious. He posts these to a web-site called the expert village
Make sure you watch what notes he's playing!
Questions?
Any Questions?
Yes yet another version. We videoed this for some promo we're doing. Great players so I thought I'd post it.
Diane Monroe - Violin
Tony Miceli - Vibes
Tony Marino - Bass
Todd Isler - Percussion
This is just so good, I had to share it. And with Larry Bunker on drums, who of course was also a great vibist.
I continue to find wonderful historic jazz performances on YouTube. It's an amazing resource in that regard. If you want more, there are a lot of great clips linked as favorites on my page: http://www.youtube.com/VibraphonicMusic

If any mallet players are around the nyc area tomorrow night, please stop by and have a glass of vino and check the music out. I'll give a free CD to any vibe player that shows up. If you stay long enough you can check out Lage Lund's trio afterward.
