Hey Vibes Workshop

A little Sunday night practice on John Coltrane’s classic composition “Giant Steps”. Played this last night as a bossa on the gig with Mark. Always a fun night at Li’s playing with Mark and hanging on the breaks.

There are some great instruments out there. I have been playing different instruments for years and years. There's a good vibraphone down in Argentina. I forget the name, it begins with an F. It's cool and sounds good.

I like the sound of the Yamaha, and of course the musser. Good instruments.

I just have never played anything like an Omega. I just got the Formula 5 bars, there latest recipe. They're beautiful. I have 3 different bar recipes in my house and they're all incredible. I'm just in love with this instrument.

There were some gigs for us, back in the day! But who's that playing the vibes? A bear?

來聽聽這些鐵琴手的演奏，然後選一個你最喜歡的，並且想想為什麼喜歡。然後繼續找別的你喜歡的鐵琴手，慢慢建立清單。

Mike Mainieri

Mike演奏時非常有音樂性，注意他的棒法，非常特別。

Gary Burton

Gary是鐵琴中非常重要的人物，去看看他年輕時演奏的影片，這個影片是1960年代拍的，至今已經快60年了，還是沒有人能超越他。
