Aloha everyone ... today i am presenting a cool Art Tatum lick that i have been starting to use over ain't Misbehavin and other standards for tin pan alley ... The lick is definately inspired by Ed Saindon's record. on the sunnyside .. which really nails this style of playing in the vibes ..

Ed, i hope ive come close to presenting this in a solid manner.

enjoy

Trying to get playing again! Can't wait to go through this book. Thanks vibes workshop for motivating me :-) I don't think I got the dynamic (phrasing) just right – Mf a little too strong in the beginning.. Thanks for listening!

Trying to get the vibraphone to sing again (been a long time) excited to get back into the Friedman book :-)-jj

Hi all,
I am putting together a book of free verse with musician photos by the incredible author/jazz photographer Ed Berger. Some of you may remember when I asked around last year for birth dates of vibes players who have recorded to include them in the book. I decided to self-publish and the book is going forward.
One of the verses is actually a compilation of all the vibes players I am familiar with by
