This is a pretty tune. I talk about the harmony and moving it around.
Here is the link to download my DIY vibration unit for vibraphones. I chose this forum for the download because all the information about 3D printing is available there.
After this cathastrophic year of 2021, things can really only get better - hopefully.
Happy New Year

My trio arrangement of the great Hoagy Carmichael tune "Skylark."
For all the vibes history nerds out there, who played vibes on Ella Fitzgerald's "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas?" My guess is Victor Feldman, as he's worked with Ella and Frank DeVol (the conductor/arranger) on other occasions, I think. He was even in NYC (where it was recorded) around the same time it was recorded (1960), although he was mainly in LA, right?
I could be totally wrong, so someone let me know if they know or have any guesses! I am very curious!
The last 4 measures!
I've been working a lot on vibes trio playing lately due to gigs, and it's fun trying to adapt pianist techniques to the instrument and make the trio sound full. In here, I use some dampening (check out the very end specifically), some sliding, a solo stride section I got from Emmet Cohen (although I'm sure pianists did it earlier than him), and a modulation up a half step. This is Irving Berlin's great tune, "All By Myself."
OK, a bit of a clickbait title, yes, but it's true! All three voicings I'll show you in this video have no third, which is usually the one note we absolutely need! We shall explore why that's the case.
Hello everyone,
Here's another lesson about voicings. The common theme of all these recent lessons is trying to extrapolate as many different possible voicings as we can out of a sing idea. You take any four notes, and you can do all these things we've talked about so far:
-add extensions
-alter notes
-invert the chord
-use drop 2s, drop 3s, drop 2+3s, etc.
And now we'll add planing to the list! This is when you move a chord through a scale, or just move it chromatically.
It was time for a new Vibes-Solo Video and i always liked this melody.
It's seems so simple, but...
