I just had an interesting 2 gigs weekend, in term of amplification.
I recently buyed second hand AMT mics from Tyler Blanton and I use them with Sennheiser e604 mics as described in this 3 years old post https://www.vibesworkshop.com/blog-entry/some-work-my-m55/babu/050316

Hi All,

Playing the classic song "Darn That Dream" with inspiration from the great pianists like Art Tatum, Errol Garner, Dave McKenna, Teddy Wilson and Oscar Peterson. I was listening to Tatum (Pablo recordings) this week during the commute to Boston. I hadn't listened for awhile. Still unbelievable.

Hi everybody.

This post is addressed more to French audience.

I have been studying a lot of Chick Transcriptions lately and found some techniques that are imitable on Vibraphone.
