How to Play Vibes like Bud Powell -- Shell Voicings, Diatonicism, Bebop

Hello all,

My third "How to Play Vibes Like" video is going to focus on Bud Powell, one of my favorite pianists whom I have studied the most. There's a lot that us vibes players aren't able to compete with Bud Powell on -- our range is limited, we have fewer notes, he has two fully independent hands, etc. However, in these videos I'll try and show you what exactly I think we can translate over -- whether we have to change it a bit or keep it identical -- so that we can add some new devices to our collective skillset as vibraphonists.
