This is another entry in my ongoing effort to write, arrange, and play solo vibraphone. The Pop Up Classes focused on single tunes have been a great opportunity to develop my approach. I recorded this a week ago after the first class on "Bluesette". I think I can play it a little better now, but I haven't had a chance to record again.

Arrangement from Gary Burton of Michel Legrand's "The Summer Knows". Dug this up from the files and got this way back from Gary during lessons in the 70's. Some really nice things in here in terms of the harmony, techniques and voicings.

Here's the link:

The harmony is based off of Tony's chord study in the pop up class 2 weeks ago. I tried to make it lyrical using arpeggios, chromatic bass lines and surround notes, as well as with 3 and 4 note chords. I am still working on learning to play my own arrangement accurately... sigh.
