Vibraphone

Here is another video of Manhattan Vibes. I really love this intro he plays on All the Things. Well it's actually a really quick solo version of he whole tune in 7/8.

The rest of the video is more of a compilation of different parts of their concert.

The intro is also on their cd, so check it out. This has been on my transcribe list for a while... maybe I should get to it!

All this talk about Christos Rafalides made me check some stuff on Youtube.

In this video I think Christos really proves the fact that you can se the vibes as the only chordal instrument in a band. He sounds amazing, don't you think?

check him out at 1.36... that always happens to me... stupid glasses...haha

Here's a good performance of David Friedman's new etude 'Texas Hoedown'.

I'll buy and send a copy to the first two people who want it and agree to learn it and post a video within 2 months of their performance. (Must be a subscriber)

A buddy of mine sent me this thesis. Someone analyzed a Burton solo.

Looks interesting. I got dizzy looking at.

haha...just kidding!!

Ok, now serious.

For all of you just sitting around feeling sorry for yourself that you're not working hard enough according to Tony's standards... Let's do the following...

Record and post a version of you playing a duet with tony's 'Have You Met Miss Jones' duet file -> See the 'check this out link'.

Let's see how many of us post a recording by coming friday. That's a hard deadline! After that we can compare and discuss the tune and all relating or non-relating matters...

Ok, so who's in?

Meeting in Paris, David Friedman - marimba, Jean-Charles Richard - sax soprano, Philippe Macé - vibraphone

So I have been listening just recently to the new Christian McBride project, "Kind of Brown," featuring Warren Wolfe on vibes. I had heard about Mr. Wolfe through the grapevine, and then was duly impressed by some of his other recordings. I have to say that there is some very fine "kick-ass" playing on this CD, and I highly recommend it. Warren is already an important voice on the instrument. I do not know him at all, but I assume that a number of you do...I know he was up at Berklee.
