Vibraphone

Vibes Congress 2015 Recap

Getting a little practice time in today at home while on a semester break from Berklee. Here are a few choruses of I'm Old Fashioned by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer. I learned this tune playing with trumpeter Herb Pomeroy and clarinetist/saxist Dick Johnson. I learned so much from playing with them. Sadly, they have left us but are still very much missed and remembered by many musicians especially in the Boston area.

Here's the first lesson of a short series about rhythm changes playing.
As usual there's a pdf that is a summary of what we are going to do during the lesson.

A nice medium be-bop tune that sounds pretty good as a solo piece.

Dedicated to the great Charlie Haden whom we lost in 2014. A very special musician and person.

A good way to start a new year :o))
Happy new year for all !!!!
