Friedman Mallet Dampening #15 (Pedaling)

Here's my take of etude #15.
I appreciate how these etudes are really written for this instrument. In a way, Dave Friedman is like the Chopin of the vibraphone. These etudes really make you develop a fluency with the articulation and phrasing that pedaling and dampening can offer. I'm looking forward to getting through this book!

"In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" - Solo Vibraphone

“In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” - one of my favorite ballads written in 1955 by David Mann with lyrics from Bob Hilliard. So many great versions of this song by vocalists and instrumentalists. Two of my favorites are from Frank Sinatra on his 1955 recording “In the Wee Small Hours” and from Keith Jarrett on his 1995 recording “Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note”.
