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.

Hey guys,

Just did this for fun. The form is 2 bars C maj, 2 bars F maj. It's DEFINITELY not perfect in any way, but I just thought it was cool sounding. All vibes, just overdubbed a bunch of times. Let me know what you think!

i can bring over a malletKat if anyone is interested. you won't get one cheaper than this across the pond there. so if you're interested, let me know! you will save a LOT of money.

the malletkat is great to make playbacks. all sounds here are made only by the malletkat. you have to play different phrasings with different sounds that´s a good exercise too. and its fun :)

Hi guys:

I have been using traditional grip when I play jazz vibes....And I have been wondering.....am I alone? I use it because it doesn't cause any blisters and pain and I find it to be very controllable. My high schools marching band makes us use stevens grip which I can't imagine playing chords with...However at the same time I can't imagine playing marching band music with traditional grip! It seems to me that nobody talks about this grip on the site. Is there a reason?
