This audio clip is an arrangement for vibes of a delightful piece of music written by Pat Metheny titled "Letter From Home". It was featured on an album of his with the same name that was released back in the 1990s. The music has a sweet, thoughtful quality to it and works well, I believe, as a solo piece for vibes. I can probably get a pdf file created of my arrangement and post it if anyone would like to have it.
NOTE: 4/14/09 I've attached a pdf of the piece.

Hey VW's,

Just thought I would post this for fun. This was recorded at a coffee house gig here in Dallas last Tuesday. I threw this up at the gig and these guys sight read the song. I am playing cajon and broken splash cymbal hi-hat w/ my hands. The other two guys are Jonathan Fisher - double bass, and Paul Metzger - guitar.

Hi all!

As you see - Easter brings a day off work for me which I spend behind the vibes. The recording I called Kaye's Walk is based on the Samba lesson Tony posted a while ago.

Feed back is very welcome, cheers Stefan

Hi!

Dave Samuel's Book "Contemporary Vibraphone technique" has some nice etudes and here is one called Etude#3D I have been practicing for quite a while.

Here is my recording, maybe someone else has played this too?

Cheers Stefan

Just a very very Quick (and Dirty) video about Getting Your Groove On. In otherwords setting up a groove and soling over it.

here's mine.

Check out this link. This is a cool instrument. I played one in Germany. Ed Mann is Frank Zappa's mallet player from back in the 70's and 80's! He's selling the vibes.

After watching Hamp and Benny Goodman, I can’t resist sharing that link I incredibly dig! It’s from the same period, an extract from Singing in the Rain… Surely most of you have seen it already. You may like to past the first minute, but the rest is incredible!

It has the same kind of thrill, blowing away talent, and swing (even if with big band this time). It’s not vibraphone, but so much good vibes!!! And man those giant dancers are unbelievable percussionists with their feet!! Aren't they?

Great drum battle with the King of the Vibes.

Great tom tom work here!
