I know everyone is going to say play it slower and I do when practicing.
But this is about where I'd like it to be. It may be a few clicks to fast ....hmmm.... not sure yet. This is 158 BPM.

Figuring out solo vibes stuff is really challenging and fun!!!!

Anyway I had to post because we are moving on to Blue Bossa.

Be kind :)

Hi all!

I discovered that the way I am trying to play Work Song is a quite tricky mallet dampening etude to me when I try to let the chords ring for comping. Next time I'll use a metronome - promised.

any feed back welcome, cheers Stefan

Tony demonstrates different approaches to playing over rhythm changes.
We saw a lot of this at the workshop in Delaware.

Hi all!

As my baby and his mother are sleeping I can't play vibes and instead I play guitar.

David Friedman talked at the Delaware workshop about Jazz as a language one wants to learn. This recording of mine shall show how I speak "Jazzguitar" after about 18 years of "training" now.

Sorry, no vibraphone this time, hope you don't mind, btw the piece is called Somebody's Soul and I actually play only the comping - maybe someone wants to dub something over it?

any feed back welcome

cheers Stefan

Oh man...

You were right Tarik: this version is incredible. The tempo, the gentle swing, and the deep deep soul in those two 'god''s voices! I also like the idea of both man and woman singing it. Making the meaning hmm... let's say more "universal".

If you guys are working on that tune on vibes, this version would surely be a "must dig in" to help make your version "live"!

Enjoy!

Hi!

This is just another practice tape on Summertime actually the first jazz song I ever played in my life.

Well I also want to ecourage all of you who are amateurs like me and have not yet posted anything (remember there are 1000 people registered on this site)

Thanx for listening, critiques are welcome

Cheers Stefan

P.S. just added a version of the mp3 without metronome

HELLO EVERYBODY.I RECENTLY PLAYED IN A JAZZ FESTIVAL IN GREECE AND I THOUGHT IT'S GOOD TO POST 3 PIECES.I KNOW THERE ARE MISTAKES AND WE LOST THE TIMING BETWEEN THE SAX PLAYER AND ME AND THE DRUMMER.ANYWAY IT IS NOT PERFECT...THE CONCERT WAS DUET VIBES-SAX AND THE DRUMS JAMS WITH US.I AM WAITING YOUR COMMENTS.

We lost arguably the most soulful player on the instrument 10 years ago today. But look at all great influence he's had on everyone who works these bars. I read and listen to all the players here who site his great influence on their music.

This is my Ballad For Milt - it's happy, and it's sad - i wrote and recorded it shortly after i heard the news.
