Hey guys how about Dec 12th for a mini concert weekend. Maybe I can schedule a live thing as well that weekend.

What's a mini concert. Three tunes you play in a row without stopping. So you can practice simply that. Playing 3 tunes in a row solo. It's really great and has helped me a lot.

Who's in? That would be a great weekend. It can be audio or video, it doesn't matter at all!

Post your confirmation here!

Here is my first Mini Concert of three tunes, all related by key (either F minor or major). Each tune tied together with an F minor arpeggio.

1) All the Things You Are
2) Let It Go from Frozen (partial)
3) Barry Ktude No. 4 - Major Montuno

Hello everyone. Last year at the World's Vibe Congress we discussed, among a multitude of other topics, how to create greater exposure for the vibraphone. One of the possibilities we discussed was creating new pieces and works which feature the vibraphone by skilled composers. Over the past 8 months my percussion trio, Portal Percussion, has been working with Colleen Clark, a musician & composer based in NYC, on creating a piece of music which embodies the spirit of the discussion last January.

What does the piece entail?

Exploring on solo vibraphone with a rubato version of Keith Jarrett's Coral. Focusing on motives, dampening and four mallet techniques.
