So I've almost finished producing a CD, now what do I do?
I have no delusions of grandeur here, but I do want it to be "out there" and available. Our major goals in producing this CD were to expand our musical capabilities (already accomplished :-)), and maybe get more/better gigs.
Ok, here's two easy etudes over the tune Just In Time.
Play through the chords then listen to this solo. Make sure the tune is in your head! You should hear the tune easily in the lines. I wrote the chords in on the chord etude. You write them in on the Solo etude. Play the etudes. Can you learn anything from playing them? Can you see how the lines fit in with the harmony? How in the line you can hear the harmony?
A small taster of our performance at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin recently. Piano is a bit low as it was not mic'd but sound is ok. Enjoy

Hey,
My try on Bags groove. Audio is not really great. I put the mic in the livingroom, started the playalong tape, and.... played along.
I think it's suposed to be 12 bar blues, but I skipped that for now, I just played the melody and tried to do som soloing.
Greetz,
Stefan
Hello everyone,
I would like to inform you that I am going to perform this thursday (6/12/2012) on a place called Grand Café EDD's (heggenstraat 3, 6211 GW Maastricht, Netherlands) and it's located in Maastricht (Netherlands). I am going to play with wonderfull musicians and some of my original compositions and then it will be a jam session. So, if you are a musician (not only vibraphone player!!!!!) come and join us!
I would also like Vincent for his great help!!!!

Hey vibesworkshop!
So...I haven't been getting very far with my transcription of Afro Blue because I don't have a vibraphone to play for ten days and haven't had anything to update my blog with. It's frustrating not having my instrument...I feel incomplete. I am grateful to have access to a piano at work though and have been staying late to play (and then freezing in the dark waiting for the late bus home each night!), but man I miss my vibes. Just ten days, and I'm going crazy!!!
