Vibraphone

Here you go Stefan. Autumn Leaves voicings. You have to do some of the work. I think I got the form and all that right. You need to label the chords and then label the alterations. Finally I think you need to memorize this. Just play it from memory. Also know with each chord you hit, what the root is. Keep this going in your mind. You need to become aware of what's happening. You get it?

I'll be Livestreaming my MetroWest Jazz Project gig from Sunset Jazz at the Hopkinton Center for the arts on Saturday, 10-Aug, from 7:00 to 8:30PM EDT. We'll be playing most of the tunes from our CD "Phrydig Aire" (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/metrowestjazzproject).

I'm working something out with Gary Burton. I think he's willing to autograph a bunch of books for VW members! You know his new autobiography is coming out soon. Well I asked him if we could have some collectors vibesworkshop books!

I'll send out an email soon with a link to paypal. the book will cost the same amount and Gary will sign it and his office will mail it to you guys.

What do you think? I think that's pretty cool, huh?

No videos from Delaware?

ive posted this in the lesson section mainly because this is more an practice session, rather than a performance. Each day i work on Gaint steps,countdown and rythmn changes to get my ear in tune .. i always make sure im singing or humming with my play and focus on staying concious with the moment ...

enjoy
