Hello,
This is a lesson analyzing ways of using the bebop major and minor both harmonicaly and melodically. I hope you find this interesting and for any questions, let me know!

Thanks
Dimitris

Enjoy !

Hi VW,

I was working on this tune theses days. Just a practice tape, but please tell me what you think..

Cheers,

Nico

I will follow Patrice's advice to state the harmony not just lines but until then....ORNITHOLOGY

thanks

Another tune for the bebop madness
Thanks for listening
Dimitris

Hey guys,

I want to share some thoughts with you. I recently did a gig outside of Thessaloniki with a quintet. Before even the gig start, a guy from the audience comes to me and said:
guy: I have watched you before playing the vibes
me: really, when?
guy: several months ago. I really liked your performance
me: thanks a lot, just trying to play music for you guys
guy: you do a great job. Actually you are the reason that we started to love this instrument!

Hey guys,
I love this tune, Old folks. I recorded two weeks ago in a gig, with Jose Carra, my duo partner. He's a marvellous piano player. Check it out and enjoy!!!

P.S. I'm playing this tune with Stefon Harri's mallets, made for Vic Firth. Do you like the sound? I think it's a little hard, don' you?

Inspired by Marie and Bernard's Arrangement of Lullaby of Birdland, I created a stride vibes arrangment for solo vibes.

Here is my work-in-progress practice tonight.
PDF and Sibelius files are enclosed.

Hope someone gives it a try.
