I'm about to upload a solo vibraphone version of Tones for Joan's Bones in preparation for Tony's online concert Friday on Facebook, but here's one with my quartet from a bit ago. The vibraphone solo is at 3:10 (because after all this is a vibraphone website). I like playing without other chordal instruments, but there's definitely something very freeing about having a pianist.

Hit the wrong note at the end, oops.

This Friday Feb 28 I have my students coming over and we are going to stream solo performances on Facebook. About 7pm East Coast U.S. Time. Probably go to vibesworkshop.com Facebook group.

I asked my students to record a mini concert of what they were going to play. I think it makes a good warm up for the concert.

Here's mine.

Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" from last night's gig at Li's with Mark and I. Always a fun night playing duo with Mark and hanging with family and friends. Going on 10 years with this gig and it never gets old.

"All Of Me" - a slightly demented version of this classic from last night's gig with Mark and I. Ha!Ha!

Hi All,
Here's a heads up about the March Good Vibes radio show coming up on March 1st (with rebroadcast on March 4th).
New CDs from Chuck Redd, The View from Madeleine's Couch with Kym Ambrose on vibes, and Christian Tamburr. Martin Fabricius from Denmark also has a new one, Under the Same Sky (great title).
Chuck's track is Billy Strayhorn's "A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing." Check out my website to see my photos at www.gloriajazz.com. I heartily agree about flowers. Which reminds me, I need to post a new pic.
