Something very cool about Walk Dickerson and his approach to the vibes!
I know Randy Sutin will agree!
He crazy at the end, but I really like his playing!
"Time and Space" is an exercise that rhythmically slices intervalic space into whole and half-step movements ascending and descending between the lower note to the higher note. By first defining the predominant interval in half-notes and then rhythmically slicing it up into various divisions of quarter notes, triplets, and simple odd tuplets (5:2 and 7:2) we can strengthen our inner feel of time using the space between the two outer notes as a reference.
A little Sunday morning practice on “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To” by Cole Porter. After a few cups of coffee. Ha!Ha!
Hello vibe workshop members!
Here is a piece I just finished composing and will be performing it in early March. It is titled; "Glimpse" it's a duet for vibraphone and piano and although it's more of a chamber contemporary music feel – I subconsciously used a few jazz harmonies and doubletime licks! This piece is based on personal experiences in my life that I express through music. Mallet dampening as well as vibraphone pedaling is not present in the recording, FYI
