Vibraphone

I had a talk with Stefon Harris a while ago. I don't think I've talked about it here yet.

The argument is this: The piano is part of the percussion family but percussionists don't learn piano. The piano is in a performing way, NOT part of the percussion family at all. It requires a lot of dedicated and unrelated skill and has moved out of the percussion family. Not how it's made of course, or the mechanisms that make the sound but in a performance way.

I played with a trio yesterday and we played Autumn in New York, which is a tune I've always liked but don't play much. Afterward, the bassist and I were discussing some different changes, so I thought I would check out the MJQ from the Django album when I got home. I liked their arrangement so much I did a rough transcription.

Are there any vibe players on this site from Christchurch, New Zealand? If so, please contact me at PiperVibe@gmail.com or www.Facebook.com/PipersLoft

Thank you.

This étude is all about quality dynamics and phrasing! I love trying to get the correct dynamics /interpretation on this étude!!

Hello all –

I was born with bad hips and as age I've had to become a bit more creative :-)

I was wondering if any vibe players ever have had hip and back pain while playing? I have found pedaling with my left foot and alternating with my right foot seems to help… Yes, unorthodox but I can make music.

Does anyone else have any tricks?
