Victor recently posted this awesome picture of him and sax player Jorge Roque Martinez on his FaceBook page. He nicely allowed me to "steal" it and share it with you!

Anda!! :o)

Watching the average music we are used to post on the site, I've been thinking about introducing more of latin influenced vibists.

Victor Mendoza is a great, great example. Up to recently he was teaching at Berklee, until a few months ago when he moved to the new Berklee school which opened in Valencia-Spain.

I know too little about Victor, appart that he's highly respected by his peers and students. I love this latin version of the standard, Victor's touch, language, skill and the way he gives a new and personal life to the tune never forgetting its origin...

Hey all,

Very little use, custom foamed carrying cases (3), like new condition. I'm retired and too old to carry this heavy baby to my gigs. Looking for an M55G same condition or sale for $4,500 (with cases) or $4,000 without cases. Buyer pays shipping. In case of trade, shipping is negotiable.
Pictures on demand.

Here's an exercise that will help with vocabulary in modal tunes.

Here is the registration for Delaware. Flyers are going out this week. Then it becomes first come first serve since all this is done electronically. If you're thinking of coming, now is the time.

Sounds like it's going to be a great week. Mario from Alternate Mode has a lot of great players coming in including Samuels.

We have Friedman coming in (hoping for a Double Image concert) and i think a few other players. So this will be a great week.

Tango vibraphone solo by a master argentin vibist. Enjoy !

thought i would post the other side of me that came out since i took a break from playing vibes ..

Greetings, i found this video of the last gig i did on vibes. after listening to the recording i can definately hear some of the concepts i had been working on. Ive always been influenced by the the live in seattle session of coltrane and eric dolphy.

in tunes like maiden voyage that are basically two chords, or wat i hear them often as two tonal centers. the concept of moving shapes of sound as always so very interesting to see wat soundscapes and emotion can be created ..

Hi all,

I have been working on a 4 mallet marimba solo called Mbira song. I have been enjoying learning this wonderful piece. However, i was wondering if anyone here has either played the piece or has any tips on it. Its a great marimba solo and i reccomend it to anyone looking for a nice marimba solo.

Thanks,
