Vibraphone

Guys,

Vibist Les Blachut sent me this link on an amazing Gino Vanelli live tune. He thought I could recognize the vibist! Haha!! I had no idea!! :o)

I made a little search and found that on the corresponding album the percussionist's name was John J Mandel. But as I couldn't find any picture of him, I can't be sure if it's him there.

But I'm sure some of you will help me and asnwer the question for Les.

Thanks!!

PS: BTW, cooking vibes, huh? (starts around 5'35)

Anybody have any specific info about this video of Red Norvo throwing his bars out onto the stage on this Benny Goodman show? BTW, that's Hank Jones on piano looking suprised. When I first saw this I was horrified, but I've come to understand that it was a gag. Love to hear more info about it. Very strange.

I was looking around to see if anyone has posted a transcription of Milt Jackson's tune Bag's Groove and I have yet to find one. I'll keep the search going, but I figured I would post my version too. I hope some of you get a chance to check this out. Oh, and by the way...this solo comes from the album "The Birth of the MJQ". I'm pretty sure I found it on iTunes.

Minsoo Lim arrived some 4 months ago on the site as subscriber. What makes him a bit different from most of us, is that he leaves in South Korea. We already have a few members from this country, but so little from Asia.

Some of us got in contact with him through Face Book. So I asked him if he could talk about him, and maybe about the specificities of his country as for Vibes, Jazz, Music in general, or just life.

Minsoo, please, tell us who you are!!

And... welcome on Vibesworkshop!

Hey VibesWorkshop,

I just wanted to share some thoughts here....
Tonight I was thinking about my vibes practicing, and jazz practicing more in general....
As you know, my set of vibes (my dear old Deagan from 1942) is not at my home anymore, but in the practice room. The thing is that I don't practice anymore at home. Before that, I didn't really practice at home, I simply couldn't get focused enough. That's why I got the practice space...

Anyway, I just figured out I had a MIDI piano, and maybe I could work on some things with it?

Hi everyone,

Here's an article which will be in the upcoming July issue of the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes. The article is titled "The Healing" and details the recording session of Depth of Emotion which featured saxist Dave Liebman, drummer Mark Walker, bassist David Clark and myself on vibes, marimba and piano. The article also discusses the compositional and improvisational aspects of my original composition The Healing.

Here's the article: http://edsaindon.com/documents/The_Healing_PAS_July_Issue.pdf

This a little excerpt of a concert i did some months ago in a very nice art-place in berlin.

The other musicians are:
Moritz Baumgaertner - drums
Antonio Borghini - bass
Tobias Delius - sax

Tell me if you want to hear/see some more. I'm very into 'free jazz' or 'free impsovised music' however you wanna call it...

I'm also working in a trio with a saxophonist who does graphical notations. I could upload a notiation with a recording :-) That would be interesting, and if anyone has questions about it let me know!

best regards,
Charly

Hey guys!

Here I play a transcription of a Milt Jackson Solo to All The Things You Are.
Recording is 'Mostly MJQ - Disc 1'

Normally I always play with the recording, but this time I wanted to try to play without recording and without metronome.
The goal was that you can snip your fingers on 2 and 4 through the whol solo :-)

The tempo is a bit slower than the original...

Tell me if it works for you!?

best, Charly

1. I am beyond practicing.
2. I play a regular gig at my empty venue.
3. Its easy to play anything I can play.

I hope this helps anyone who suffers from MWDP syndrome.

As promised... here is the second part of our little tour of crazy instruments.

So this time, Florian performing "Au Clair de la Lune", on what could be called a "Metalo-Elastic-Phone". Sorry that you will in fact hear more the children having fun around than the sound of the instrument! :o)

Enjoy,
