Vibraphone

Do women play this instrument with more natural emotion then men?

This girl seems pretty young and pretty expressive in the piece. Seems like an intermediate student, but I saw something in the piece and then thought about other female players and wondered if it's easier for them to be expressive on an instrument that's naturally not that expressive.

Tell me I'm nuts, but I'm just thinking out loud. I always thought women should run the world. They didn't grow playing war, they'd probably find some other solutions to things that guys would never think of.

Nothing to say about this.

Joe Doubleday posted this on his FB account. I thought I'd post it here. Thanks Joe. Warren Wolf is a pretty BAD vibe player. Great 2 mallet chops, I think.

Here is the sheet music to the transcription I performed in the video here:

This is a superb solo by Joe Locke from his Sticks and Strings album available through:

I read something on V.W. about a Deagan for sale and it reminded me of a project I did years ago when I drew the Deagan (model 145) out on Auto Cad. I thought that since the Vibes Workshop is EVERYTHING vibraphone, I should add it to the resources. (see pdf attachment)

I was talking with Joe tonight about Bobby. Joe played a cool lick on the phone and we were both playing vibes and he was talking about the lick. It was cool.

Then he brought up Kenny Garrett's 'Beyond the Wall' and Bobby's playing on it. I had it but never really gave it a good listen to. He talked about how the album was made with the band and background vocals. That got me intrigued so I dug it out.

Had a nice gig last night and was driving home listening to Billy Pierce and thinking about food. I was coming to a red light slowing down and this guy nailed me in the back. I jumped out of my car and saw him trying to start his car. He was going to split. It would not start and he saw me and jumped out and said he was sorry. His car was totaled.

Hey Everyone,

I have a gig with a Big Band in May and I have a meeting next week to discuss the repertoire. I was wondering if some of you guys might have some ideas for existing arrangements for Big Band with vibes. Ofcourse I'm thinking of all the Terry Gibbs Dream Band stuff and also Lionel Hampton. I also have a great record of Milt Jackson with the Clayton-Hamilton orchestra(Explosive!)

I was just wondering if any of you would have some more ideas, so I can check some stuff.

Thanks a lot!

Most of us voice from the bottom up, right? C maj 7, we hit the C and build up from there.

Try voicing from the top down. See the B or the D and then fill in the rest of the chord. It's not easy to switch, but it will REALLY help your playing..

Very nice to watch. Move over Stockhausen.
