another danny boy version played on vibes and m-kat simultan. unfortunatley still with wrong notes but it was my best try. i think one could really make up nice solo things with this setup but it takes a lot of practice...

Hey VW peeps,

Got some nice footage from a recent gig, with some of my very favorite players. And there's more featuring vocalist Vaneese Thomas from Aretha Franklin's band, who sang with us. If folks are interested, I will post that when it is available.

Trying to figure out how to keep this going. Anyone with some ideas on how to bring the vibes to the people, please chime in! LOL All you cats in Europe..I'd love to take this band over there!

Well...when Tony mentioned the idea of a mini-concert, I picked a date on my calendar and decided I would record my concert that night no matter what! I chose this night because I had a jazz ensemble concert before this, so my vibes were already in a recital hall to add to the concert feel. Great room to record in!

I treated this as a real concert so I only did one take. I played "Sonnymoon For Two", "Blue Bossa", and the piece I've been tackling all month, "Afro Blue". Enjoy! :)

I recently discovered Little Sunflower by Freddie Hubbard.
What a cool, simple tune. Just a few chords. Dm7, Ebmaj7, Dmaj7.
I put into BIAB tonight, and recorded it in one take.

Vibes are cooooool. As if you didn't already know. :-)

This is an expert from a concert Christos did with my vibes in Greece with his trio. These guys are amazing. I also had the change to jam and hang with them. They have great energy, both as players and persons.

This a tune called "Fou Rire" played by them!

Enjoy

Some baroque stuff from one of the foremost french composer of 17th century. I love his music.
I didn't transcribed. I play by ear. Working on ear training and harmonisation. Good practice ! ;o )

I have been looking for a while, unsuccessully, so I thought I should widen my search to include all of you here.

Over the last couple weeks ive been dealing with a abdominal injury from loading a keyboard at a reggae gig over halloween and then played a vibe gig the day after which really put me out of commission. Because of this injury i havent been able to stand and play at the vibes for a couple weeks at any length. This got me thinking, wow im not 20 anymore. lol

Alright...working hard on the solo, but in the meantime, here is a recording from rehearsing with my friend Beth last weekend. This was our first rehearsal aside from the day we sightread, and I'd say we're making progress. We're getting used to listening to each other and learning how we play together.
Not a bad start, eh? :)
