Here's a version of the Monk tune 4 in 1. I'm going to write up a chord melody etude of what I play on the head.

I'm listening to George Shearing and I hear this beautiful vibe solo. It was Frank Ricotti. I never heard of him. Does anyone know about him??

This beautiful ballad, written by Johnny Mandell and played so often by Bill Evans, makes a wonderful vehicle for explorative melodic playing. For me, the goal here is sound and simplicity.

I was recently talking with a student about playing in slow motion. I think I've talked about it here before, but I thought I'd do a little reminder on the topic.

I just checked out Tony's myspace page and listened to him playing 4 and 1. That's some mighty fine vibin' there. Could you talk about that piece? If it's not here somewhere I think others would really enjoy it.

Hello ! Me and my bass player have a gig forthcoming(where I'll be playing drums), with the very fine Scottish trumpet-player, Bruce Adams. Bruce sent us his set list, which includes this old Hank Mobley Tune : Funk in Deep Freeze. I thought it would sound good on vibes, so I recorded it this morning at cockcrow. As usual, I'm playing on top of a homemade bass-and-drums track. I attach the score and the rhythm track, if anyone feels like trying it. I'll work on it a bit more. If I can come up with a better take, I'll substitute.

Found this on the net!

The Bach English Suites make great duets for vibes and marimba, or guitar, or bass, etc. I've attached a pdf of the right hand part and an mp3 of the left hand. Work up the right hand part and play along with the mp3. It's a fun piece to play!

Don't know what to Practice? Grab a few of these licks and just go through the keys. Courtesy of bobland.org!
