Listen to this Romanian vibist, in a beautiful rendition of Richard Galliano's Laurita. Great clear sound and technique (tasty bended notes in the first head). Enjoy !

Hello. This is a new lesson on the chords and harmony festival 2011. I am talking about how you can play a minor melodic chord or scale over a maj 7 chord. I hope you find this helpfull. If there are any questions, let me know.

Thank you

Tìtulo: Acordes y Armonía - Una melodía menor sobre un C maj 7 por Jim The Vibes

Here a good exemple (IMHO) of two great musicians listening to each other. Note the constant search in order to produce different sounds, with no electronical effects, close to what acoustic vibes is. Enjoy !

Here a beautiful ballad played with a marvellous group behind him. If you go on YouTube with that video there is the whole concert (all the tunes are of an incredible level). Quality sound and video, the guitar player is a blast too, and we can see and hear wery well how Joe is comping. A lot of inspiration and emotion. The video shows very well how they deal with a modern jazz sound, with effects, good PA etc...
Enjoy !

Here David talks about solo playing and makes the point about syncopation. Why play the same rhythm with both hands? Play another rhythm with the left hand.

Hello guys and M-N, here's a vid of me practicing the melody of a beautiful composition by Joe titled "Love Is A Planchette". Joe brought the lead sheet when he visited for a rehearsal for our upcoming CD. He'll be here in July at Berklee for a duo concert with Joe and myself playing two vibes. It should be a lot of fun.

This clip is one of three that I posted up on my YouTube page. Pretty funny about my two golden retrievers Gibson and Jackson coming in when I started to play. I'm thinking they either dig or hate it and want me to stop playing. Probably the latter.
