I'm Old Fashioned - Solo Vibes

Getting a little practice time in today at home while on a semester break from Berklee. Here are a few choruses of I'm Old Fashioned by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer. I learned this tune playing with trumpeter Herb Pomeroy and clarinetist/saxist Dick Johnson. I learned so much from playing with them. Sadly, they have left us but are still very much missed and remembered by many musicians especially in the Boston area.

Haukes TOTW - Beautiful Friendship

Hey Vibes Guys!
Happy nes year to all of you. I recorded a TOTW again. I had a few Xmas gigs so i didn't find the time to practice that much. But now i'm back in Berlin. study must go on!
This is the tune "the end of a beautiful friendship". i love that tune. i heard it the first time played by tony and florian in Oldenburg, Germany. Since then i played it quit a lot of times.
Here is this weeks solo version of it. i pushed the time, and missed quit a lot of notes :/. also i should damp more than i did. thats what i thought.

tell me what you think. :)
