You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To - Solo Vibraphone Techniques

ed saindon 28 February 2020

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.
