Cool Lick

Last month at the Vibes Bootcamp, Tony taught me this lick to use in Green Dolphin Street, and it's great in a bunch of other tunes too. I've been practicing it in all 12 keys in a couple styles, so here's all twelve swinging! Next step: Improvise.

Antarctic Vibe

Piper Flyer Vibraphone is in its new practice/performance room in the Chapel of the Snows - Antarctica. The instrument plays great but setting it up leaves a lot to be desired. So, there's a more work yet to be done to make this instrument the perfect professional touring vibraphone. It is also the first vibraphone to make it onto the continent of Antarctica. I'm so glad I have it with me.
