"Imagine" by John Lennon - Recorded in 1971, this song is timeless and one was John Lennon's biggest hit. Seems so appropriate for what's going on in today's world. Here's my interpretation which includes some reharm and a modulation. Mallets: Vic Firth Signature model (M39).
Lewis Wright, vibraphone
Good to see vibes , step by step, be played in diferent musics. Enjoy !
A little afternoon practice today on John Coltrane’s classic “Giant Steps”.
My school had an informal recital this month, so I jumped at the opportunity to play. Feels like a VWS mini concert because I only had a few weeks to prep and could only play a couple tunes. I edited the applause out of this recording, but here you have my October mini concert.
For those unfamiliar with Tony's mini concert challenges, all you need to do is choose three tunes and record them (video or audio) without stopping. They don't need to be perfect (as you can tell from my recording), you just need to play and post. Always a humbling and motivating experience.
"The Theme from Schindler's List" - A beautiful melody from the great composer John Williams for the movie by Steven Spielberg. A very powerful movie with a brilliant score from John Williams with the lead beautifully played by the great violinist Itzhak Perlman.
A little snippet of this Sunday night’s practice session on the classic song “Samba de Orfeu" composed by the great Brazilian guitarist and composer Luiz Bonfa. He also composed another one of my favorite Brazilian songs titled “Manha de Carnaval” from the movie Black Orpheus.
