Greetings vibesworkshoppers! I have an unusually tight little grouping of vibraphone-heavy gigs I'm leading in NYC in the next two weeks, just wanted to share them with you in case you're in town and interested.

May 24th: I'll be leading my own trio at The Bar Next Door, by NYU and Washington Square Park. (http://lalanternacaffe.com/page/1rjs6/Bar_Next_Door.html)

Borrowing or Renting Vibraphone in NY

Jdoubleday 19 May 2012

Hey guys,

The Ralph Peterson Sextet/Fo'tet is playing the CD Release for "The Duality Perspective", at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, in NY this Monday at 7:30pm and I am in need of a vibraphone. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to lend me a vibraphone for this gig. I can arrange for pick up and drop off of the instrument, comp tickets, and possible compensation.

Also if anyone could email or post where you can rent vibraphones from in NY. I heard there are a couple of places but I forget the name.

Hello,

So after a zillion of takes I finally got one I dare to share. :-) You see I get nervous if I know people can hear me. especially playing sheetmusic, not so much when I improvise.

I started using the metronome with this one, because I was really lazy regarding speed. It was really confronting. Not only was I waaaaaay to slow, but I had no steady rhytm. the parts I knew I played too quick, the one I had problems with, too slow. and when done I just said : "there, I can play it".
I definetly need to continue on using it.
