I think this is my last frame design. It now fulfills all my wishes and ideas. Besides the new, additional folding method, I am very happy that I managed to realize the twistable flaps in the frames without any restrictions on the folding versions.
It was a long development process until the twisting flaps also achieved good stability.

A corresponding flap version as a conversion kit for Musser M55 is in progress and close to completion.

Just a little spontaneous solo vibes rendition of "Blues for Alice."

Here a little video made with a friend who is resuming contrabass playing after a 30 years break...
This is an important step for me because during my whole jazz life i always played with drummers. It's quite different to play without and i had to work somewhat hard to get tunes down in a reasonable way... One more time, thanks to WWWvibesworkshop.com for the all sorts of help during all thoses years...
Critics welcomed, enjoy if possible...

Hola! les comparto el audio de 3 coros de Donna lee en donde me puse el desafio de lograr tocar la melodía, luego improvisar y en el tercer coro hacer la primera mitad con comping y finalizar en la segunda mitad, con la segunda parte de la melodía.

Gracias por el espacio.

I am on the events committee for the Vibraphone Project Inc.. It was set up to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the vibraphone which is now.

The organization needs vibe players to join committees and help it be successful. I think this organization is going to do a lot of great things for the vibraphone.

So please consider helping. Email vibraphoneprojectinc@gmail.com and talk to Brian Graiser and see where you would like to fit it and help us celebrate the vibraphone.

June 14-18 we are going to have a very special 5 day workshop.
6 classes a day featuring:

David Friedman
Joe Locke
Stefon Harris
Warren Wolf
Tony Miceli

and some other guests.

Info should be coming shortly. This is really incredible. Each of us will do a class each day for the 5 days.

There will be a concert on the Final Day with all of us in person.

Hola!
Les comparto este voicing pensado por mi sobre la canción "Donna Lee" de Charlie Parker, donde también aprovecho la ocasión para aplicar diferentes técnicas de Dampening para resolver las tensiones (la mayoría).
Gracias por el espacio.

Saludos

PD. Comparto el pdf, pero aclaro que no estan escritos los Dampenings.

This is a tune of mine call "Patience". I found this 2018 rehearsal video with Bill Bergmann(guitar) and Kam Markworth(Bass). I picked up a freelance Trio gig and hired these two to help me out.

video #2 for me. I recorded the melody along with ireal pro bass and drums , then comped the chords along with it. I am still way too tentative and I need to hit harder! :)
