I taught Dennis a little bit. He's an amazing musician. Perfect pitch, total recall. He's really got the whole package. I taught while he was at Curtis Institute of Music.
Listen to him play. Top notch.
Excerpt of vibraphone and improvisation clinic in Milan, May 16th, 2014. This segment addresses solo playing on Body and Soul along with voicings and harmonic practices including symmetrical diminished scale lines and voicings. Other segments from the clinic are up on YT and address the fulcrum grip and dampening techniques, voicing and reharmonization on Autumn Leaves, stride solo playing on Ain't Misbehavin' and solo playing utilizing dampening on Black Orpheus. All clips are posted on my YouTube page listed in the Clinics/Educational Clips section.
This are two tunes tunes (»Childhood« by Martin Flindt and »Februar Sky« by Stephan König) connected by a free improvisation called »Clouds« recorded with my duo partner STEPHAN KÖNIG from Leipzig. Please lie back, relax yourself and open your mind for this musical journey of nearly 19 minutes...
This is a funny version of the old Th. Monk classic »Blue Monk« which I recorded with my duo partner STEPHAN KÖNIG from Leipzig.
Please also have a look at the other video of this duo which shows another side of our musical collaboration:

First attempt at creating a chord melody. Tried to use as much rootless voicing as I could. Any comments & criticism gladly accepted.
Ok, my final pic for the day, I promise! This was just too funny to pass up. A few years ago, I was unloading into a friend's house for a rehearsal and accepted "help", which was a big mistake.
I'm convinced as a vibes player, you should never let people help you because you need to see where all your stuff goes and do your own accounting for your items. If you don't, things can happen, and I learned the hard way.
