This is a new group I'm part of. I think it's very cool. A unique instrumentation and all the string players are really top notch!

🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 7
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been working with phrases drawn from Milt Jackson’s vocabulary, building full choruses from short melodic ideas.
This week, we continue that approach—but with a specific focus:
👉 Using augmented triads over dominant chords
You’ll notice that certain moments in the chorus highlight the sound of the augmented triad (1–3–#5), giving the lines a bit more tension and forward motion.

Look at this? It's Eb maj 7 rootless.
Can you figure out how to do the same thing in other keys?
Any questions?
I see some small mistakes but over all this is very good! If you are new to the vibraphone you should go through it.

🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 6
So far, we’ve been developing lines using guide tones—focusing on 3rds and 7ths to clearly outline the harmony.
This week, we take that idea one step further.
👉 Instead of creating lines from scratch, we’re working with real vocabulary drawn from Milt Jackson transcriptions.
I’ve taken a few short phrases and used them to build a full chorus etude, showing how a small idea can be developed across an entire blues form.
