I knew the guitar player here. I talked about knowing someone from Gong in another post, but I couldn't remember who. They were playing in Marlton, NJ and then I remember the guitar player lived in Moorestown, very close by.

This is cool. The vibes seem not to be micd? maybe from underneath. but you can really hear him! pretty cool.
HE IS IN FRONT OF THE BAND AND THE AMPS!!!!

btw - John Keene found this for me! John is our vibes workshop historian. he knows a TON about the history of all this!

Check out this link by Steve, read what he says

This is up on the site somewhere I'm sure. But since we're studying Minority I thought I'd repost.

It's me playing with me. Check out the black hair!

This site has given me gray hair!! :-)

HEY @DAVID! MADE YOU LOOK! DO YOU KNOW GONG? the second tune sounds like a double image tune! (a little bit). Did you know these guys?

Gong was a really cool fusion group. I just the leader died. I listened to them back in the late 70's.

It was a life lesson for me because I know on of the guitar players, I think, or the vibe player! I can't remember, I was too high back then. I think it was one of the guitar players. He had a strange name I think.

今天我們要講的是minority

自己創造出ii-v-i 小樂句（lick），是一個裡面有V dominent 13音的lick,
定下速度打，你可以從中學到很多，你也會記住minor9音, dominent 13音的聲音
改節奏、加上一些音，轉調（放到每個調裡面練練）
Rootless13b9和弦（沒有根音的屬和絃，加上9音和13音）
例如F713b9: 組成音為A(3音), D(13音), Eb(7音), F#(b9音)

認真練習ii-V-I，讓你的耳朵熟悉這些聲音。

As many of you know, I use tunes not only to have fun playing over but also to learn about harmony, work on chops and time. Why not, as improvisers we can make up an etude on the spot. And as you get better as an improviser you can make more complex etudes up.

Minority is a tune with tunnel vision. It's the study of one note and meaning depending on what is surrounding it. The 9th and the 13th. In a 2 5 they kind of blend together. And Minority is a great example of this.

This is Michel Petrucciani playing the most beautiful version of "In A Sentimental Mood" I've ever heard. I decided to share it here because Tony recently requested ideas for solo playing and I forgot to mention this one.

Hey Vibes Workshop,
My name is Steve Roehm. I'm a vibraphonist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
2017 is the year for some new habits for me. So here is my first foray in
posting a video on VWS. This is a tune of mine called "Just Kicking Around".
I've attached a PDF with the sheet music. I hope you enjoy it.
