Vibes Solo etude: Una danza per te (G. Perin)

This month I'm sharing with you one of my composition that I've transcribed for vibes solo especially for you:
The tune is dedicated to the memory of my mother and it's called "Una danza per te".

You will work on how to play a good melody but also dampening and pedaling, nuance and phrasing.
Is important to keep the comping lower than the melody and try to play the theme as a singer would play it: in fact there are also words because the tune was written as a song.

Miss Otis Regrets by Cole Porter

"Miss Otis Regrets" - composed by Cole Porter in 1934 for the revue Hi Diddle Diddle that opened at London's Savoy Theatre. I was made aware of the song by Keith Jarrett who played a gorgeous version for an encore at his Carnegie Hall concert. So many great versions of this song sung by vocalists but one of my favorites is from Ethel Waters.

Happy Holidays!
