Hi everyone, I was going wait until the album was available on itunes and amazon until I announced this but I have no clue when thats going to happen BUT the CD and MP3 CAN be purchased through the label website right now!

My new (first) album "Prologue" is now available!
I'm going to provide an MP3 of one of the tracks plus the pdf of the chart only for vibesworkshoppers!

Check it out, let me know what you think!

If you want to purchase the CD or MP3s you can get them from:

Here is a great Milt Jackson lick for you to take through all twelve keys.

Not much, until you get lost in YouTube.

Part of my vibes study routine is to see what's posted on YouTube.

Someone post "Wii Music - Legend of Zelda (Vibraphone)"

Which led to someone playing it on Theremin.

Jazz Baltica 2007

Joe Locke talkes to Nico about an exciting new development at the Vanderplas Baileo factory. They are designing an all new midi system for the Mvibe as well as for acoustic vibraphones!

Hi!

I just bought a vinyl copy of the album "We get requests" by the Oskar Peterson Trio. I know this record since I was a teenager and for me the solo OP plays here is one of the finest jazz solos ever recorded. OP uses rather few notes, has a perfect phrasing and creates an tremendous "dramatic arc" over the solo and takes it to almost "reliefing" climax. And yet another aspect is the bass by Ray Brown and the drums by Ed Thigpen that faciliate and support the solo so well.

I was playing a I vi ii V I progression and starting playing a familar melody. There are two melodies in the enclosed mp3. Are they the same or different tunes? What are they?

Thanks,
Barry

Here is etude no 7

I've been wanting to start a series on licks. Here's an intro and the first lick.

We have a podcast up on itunes called Percussion Geeks. It sort of helps the vibe cause, our website cause and more. I would love it if any of you guys could go over and put up a review. Do any of you subscribe to the podcast?

This link will take you directly there. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=289736…

If any of you have video that would fit this format, i can include it. Even audio. Just as long as it pertains to being a Percussion Geek!
