This morning French vibist Benoit Moerlen made me discover this jazz album that Serge Gainsbourg composed in 1958. And oh surprise, there is vibes on a few tracks!! That one is my favorite: "Jazz In the Ravine". On vibes, one of are veterans Michel Hausser! :o)
Enjoy!

ps: trivia question: beside the excellent quality of this piece, I noticed a little surprising detail... maybe it's me. Maybe you will have the same feeling... Anything you'd have to say?

Hello guys,
I have some gigs somewhere in November or in December and I need a set of vibes in Maastricht, The Netherlands. Anyone that I can borrow his/her vibes?
You can contact me through the vibesworkshop or in aggelli16@hotmail.com or on Facebook (dimitris angelakis).

Thank you guys

Hey everyone,

A friend of mine is having trouble with an assignment she got in grad school, and I think some of you can help. She has to survey public school music teachers (K-12, not collegiate) from outside the US, but the trouble is she only has two international connections, so she asked me to help.

So...if you or someone you know teaches music in a public school in any country other than the US (including Canada!) and are willing to help, email me at c.stallard22@gmail.com. It's a short survey, I promise! Thanks :)

Vibe hang at Chris' tonight (not streaming).

7pm-10pm - Myself, Behn Gillece and Randy Sutin will be performing

10pm-2am - Jam session for all instruments.

got the new axe home. still gettin use to the switch over from 4 months playing the one nighter vibes .. lol that ya can see in the back. this yamaha dampens soo much better and evenly then the one nighter and the sustain is just wonderful. just a quick improv on angel eyes..

A good friend owns this old Leedy instrument. The pedal is backwards (push to dampen) compared to modern instruments, which makes it a challenge to play. Beautiful sound...weighs a ton!

Hello vibers,

For me the voicings and comping is the most hard and difficult part of my study of vibraphone. It's for that reason that I try every time to explore new ways to look to it to convert the comping playing as fluent as playing lines.

This is my current favorite photo: taken last week by my beloved, with me at my axe. This was taken for my not-quite-yet-completed website....

I have a malletkat but I'm not sure what the best software is to use it with. I remember seeing demos with Mainstage, and that seems cool, but I have a pc. Any suggestions?
