“Tea For Two” - an impromptu run through tonight of this classic that I haven’t played for years. Helps maybe a little bit playing music for a brief respite of thinking what’s going on in the world right now. Thoughts and hope for everyone out there. It is affecting us all. :(
Thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak, cancelled gigs, and lots of time on my hands, I settled into transcribing another Walt Dickerson solo. This one, like Bacon and Eggs, is over a very simple short form. It is all a waltz romp on C major.
This is a first quick & dirty recording with our first self made bar set. This was part of a thesis work of a mechanical engineering student (no musician).
The frame and bars are part of several thesis works to set up a demo project showing the whole computer aided engineering process and can be used licens free.
I am very glad about the sound we received.
This is a dry recoding without effects!
I will come out with more details about what we did step by step.
I hope, you like it too.
Stuck and home and starting writing lines over Bluesette. Heres the first A. If this interests folks I'll add more and maybe explain some of the thinking behind the lines. PDF attached. I played it mostly right.
Sorry for the clanky vibes sound, no resonators because everyone in my buiding is cooped up at home.

So far, we are waiting for you!
Here's a sample of the blues train.
I would love for some of you guys to get on it.
Here's the original link with the audio.

A friend bought this Layolo vibraphone.
Never heard of it. I think it is build in Italy.
Who knows more?
Listen to that French baroque piece written in 1717 and see how modern it can sound with a feel of jazz improvisation. It’s so fun to play ! ;-)
“Four” - working on the left hand today. This is a work in progress. Trying to keep busy and productive. If I can be of any help with any vibraphone related questions feel free to ask. I have more time on my hands. :) As with most of all the schools, I'll be teaching online starting next week for Berklee. It's going to be interesting.
You're assignment is to learn the melody.
Post a comment here that says you know it, or post a video of you playing simply the melody. Do this before you go on to lesson two.
I added the lead sheet below.
