Some thoughts and demonstrations on how to start a solo, and on motivic improvisation that stays true to the tune.
I just finished to read his biography and now I want to dedicate a tune to great pianist Thelonious Monk one of the biggest influence in my playing.
The song is "Rhythm a ning" from the Thelonious Monk Repertoire played by Oirquartett.

Max Trabucco: Drums
Marco Trabucco: Bass
Hi guys this month instead of technical or harmonic skill I'd like to share with you an arrangment of the great tune Oblivion.
There's a lot learn (also for me) in term of hands independence and phrasing.
Play the melody louder than the comping!! And try to be expressive cause tango is a really passionate music!... make sure to listen to a couple of original version of the tune in order to get the right mood.
have fun
giovanni
Friends and fellow mallet enthusiasts, I am happy to announce a new website dedicated to jazz vibes/marimba/mallets in NYC and its surrounding area:
Tony has given me his blessing to share this news with you, and let me say this site is intended to be a community-oriented hub to share info about gigs, records, and any news that has to do with vibes and vibes artists, specifically those who either live and work in and around NYC, or are visiting to perform, record or teach.
