Vibraphone

Hello Everyone,

Practicing today on sound possibilities in executing a line over C-7 F7 Bb Maj7. Focusing on variations with pedaling, dampening, deadstrokes, ghost notes, accents and stickings. The first example is fairly dry with no pedal. There are a lot of possibilities in executing a simple line like this. I'll sometimes take even a smaller phrase and work with it trying to get as many nuances and phrasing possibilities out of it. Note selection is important for sure, but sound is also very important and needs to be constantly looked at.

Hi Everyone,

I have an article in the current issue of Percussive Notes. It's a transcription/analysis of one of David Friedman's performances/lessons from the site (found here: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/node/4457). David was also kind enough to do a short interview about some of the concepts involved. Thanks to Ed Saindon for facilitating this. I attach the article here. I'd appreciate any feedback you might have.

I would love to have a photo or recording to post here as well, but I just wanted to tell a little story about my recent meeting with English vibraphonist, Nat Steele!

Hi All,
Here is the link to the piece I wrote about the Third World Vibes Congress last January. It's been published in Jersey Jazz and is now posted on All About Jazz. It features a photo of Behn.
