This is a great pic of Charlie Parker at the Royal Roost NYC 1948, can't help noticing all those people totally absorbed in his performance,just look at their faces, its a powerful picture for sure.

I'm just back from my little annual gig. I couldn't help listening to the recordings... And I can't help posting my first little solo live piece tonight... Some of you followed my work on this dampening etude. A few of you truly encouragement me (Dim, Tarik, Tony...) and of course David who inspired me. So you'll hear my dedicace to him after the tune.

hey guys,
This some etudes (two with play along and one solo vibes) of the tune September in the rain.\
I hope you like it!
thanks

Dimitris

instead of learning how to play a song nice on 1 instrument, i´m stupid enough to try it on two simultan. this is fu**ing difficult to deal both instruments and the sustains, so i just put the malletkat sustain pedal under the vibes pedal, which makes it a little bit easier, cause if i press the vibes pedal i sustain both but it´s still hard enough for me.

i´m sorry for the many wrong notes and chords but i´m just very slowly getting used it. that was my best try out of many...

Hey,

I didn't think I would post so soon again. But then again : the more I post, the more I can get feedback, the more I can learn,...

I came a cross a simple excercise for 12bar blues on piano, so I thought, let's take this to the vibraphone.

After some practising I came at this. (I'm not even sure the chords are 100% OK)

P.S. a pitty, you can't hear it, but on the last chord, I even let it vibrate. :-)

greetings,
Stefan.
