"Blue Monk" - Solo Vibes

“Blue Monk” - it’s been nice having more time to revisit some recordings and transcriptions in the studio library. A few of the greats that I’ve been delving into are Coltrane, McCoy, Chick and Herbie. So much great stuff to learn, grasp and try to assimilate. Here’s a clip with that in mind.

Little Jam

I've been working on the first four chords of "Fine and Dandy" and tonight I decided to jam on them in Bb. I've also been learning about improving my audio quality for recordings and learning how to pair audio and video with iMovie. So...here is a silly little jam. Enjoy!

At the last coffeehouse we talked about audio equipment, so I'll share how I made this:

Our friend Arvid on his Deagan 510

I was swapping emails with Arvid in Norway until the time he moved back to his homeland Germany. This was under 10 years ago and I remember that he posted his new email address either at this site or at the former Vibe.net site, but I failed to copy it down and as a result lost track of him.

I was searching for players who play the Deagan 510 just to see if anyone popped up, and lo and behold - it's Arvid from two years ago. No contact info other than being a subscriber to his YouTube channel, so if anyone has contact info please let me know.
