Miles on Bye Bye Blackbird (Sight-reading)

Marimbalion 12 April 2020

Hi Guys,
Started Sight-reading again during my quarantine days in Hamburg, which I didn’t for years. After rehearsing one of my favorite Miles Davis Solos ever: Bye Bye Blackbird from his first Columbia record „‚Round Midnight“, I got completely hooked on the Red Garland Intro, which I transcribed by myself. Just let me know, if you are interested in the pdf.file and I will send it to you. Sounds great on Vibes, but you‘lll need a Bass player.

Mini-Concert - Emily & My Ideal

rogersvibes 12 April 2020

These are two recent arrangements of mine.

I was inspired by David Friedman to try Emily in some different keys. I found it works nicely on the vibes in A, which I think is the key Bill Evans plays it in. I did a modulation up to C for the solo. I attached a pdf of the arrangement.

I decided to learn My Ideal after listening to Tony play it on the site a few weeks ago. I like the straight 8ths feel from the Aebersold playalong, so I tried to keep that playing it solo. I got lost during my solo (mixed up B and C), but I think I recovered.

Theme from Cinema Paradiso - Vibes and Strings

ed saindon 12 April 2020

Theme from "Cinema Paradiso" by the great Italian composer Ennio Morricone. Thinking of everyone in Italy. This is a little clip for all of my vibraphone friends and colleagues there. Hoping things get better soon. Best wishes for everyone there.

About the clip: Experimenting in the basement "laboratory" today with vibes and strings. Layed down a string track from the electric piano and then played the vibes over that.
