Cole Porter's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" with solo vibraphone techniques via Gary Burton. In working on the solo vibraphone book during my sabbatical, I revisited some of the techniques and concepts that I learned from Gary. A few are: filling in the 8th notes between the melody/improv with left hand voicings (left hand jabs), single notes, broken arpeggios and/or counterpoint. (Gary does this a lot in his solo versions of Jobim's Chega de Saudade and O Grande Amor). Also the use of runs and arpeggios to break things up a bit.
