Tristan! Check This Out! Philosophy and a Vibraphone!

This is wild! Shawn is dissing Philosophy with his vibes right next to him!!! I love it!

But I don't understand it! VW member Tristan is a Philosopher and probably gets all this!

I just love to hear all this talk with a vibraphone right next to him!
I have thought a lot about life with my vibes right next to me!

Pat Martino Transcription - Close Your Eyes

Hi guys! Here's a transcription of Pat Martino that I've been working on off of the live album Young Guns. It is interesting to see how he can weave through changes and connect all of his lines in different ways. Playing this over and over is helping me to start hearing longer phrases. I've also been trying to challenge myself and work on playing uptempo with 4 mallets. I tend to feel a little bogged down when I am holding all four, so having something like this to work up to speed little by little has been very helpful! Let me know what you all think.

Milt plays non-accompanied

I've only found one example of Milt playing without accompaniment on record and it's on a record by MJQ. Just recently, I found this on YouTube of the same song performed live by Milt. The video is called "Milt Jackson, Ray Brown Quartet" and I'll invite you to forward to 47:31 in this video and enjoy the only example I've ever found of Milt playing solo. The song is "Nature Boy."
