Stardust - Revisiting this classic composed by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Mitchell Parish. Here's one of the versions that I came up with today while doing a little practicing at home. Throughout the clip, I incorporated some voicings covered in my new book "Voicing Concepts for the Jazz Vibist" now available from Amazon. Having fun trying out some different voicings and a little reharm here and there. Putting the book together and coming up with the concepts and examples helped my playing in terms of expanding my voicing vocabulary.

Hey everyone,

Man...I sure have been bad about being on this site. Really hoping to fix that X-/

Anyway, I'm starting a new research project for school and my professor has given me the go-ahead to write about anything relating to vibraphone history. This site and its members have been such a goldmine of information for projects I've done in the past, so I'm hoping some of you might have ideas, suggestions, topics you've always been interested in learning more about, etc.
