Hi All,
Looks like I haven't posted about the last two months' shows but I am back. March welcomes Ted Piltzecker and Larry Lawless to Good Vibes. In honor of the Third World Vibes Congress, I've included Tony and Anthony from their CD California, Here I Come, Ted from Unicycle Man, and Larry Lawless from Jazz Behind Bars. This last is from a CD I discovered on the table from Steve Weiss Music. I'll play a tune by Steve Pouchie, "Tunisia By Day," one from Behn's new CD Light at the Point, and more. Tune in!

This is a wonderful duo with my former students, Taiko Saito and Niko Meinhold. This is the kind of communication and precision that comes with a long history of playing together.

Here's more with the intervallic shape from the last lesson. Applies to altered dominant chords

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.

Giovanni Perin: Vibraphone
Giulio Scaramella: Piano
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

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:

http://www.nycjazzvibes.com/

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.
