Up till now our gigVibe model range was available with only 3 bar ranges:
- the 3 octaves gigVibe30
- the 3.2 octaves gigVibe32
- the 3.5 octaves gigVibe35

For the 4 octaves range, I felt that it wouldn't work on the gigVibe model, so those who were interested in that range had to go for the fancier and ofcourse more feature rich LW40v3 model.

The last couple of months we got quite some questions if we would be able to offer the gigVibe model also in 4 octaves. So I took a closer look on how to deal with that and reinforce the model here and there so it was possible.

Hey Guys,

I don't know if you are familiar with the Ralph Peterson Fo'tet. The group has released multiple albums over the last 23 years with very few personnel changes. It featured Don Byron on clarinet and Bryan Carrot on vibes. Ralph has recently reformed his group.

Jordi comes from Tenerife in the Canary Islands where temp never goes below 19 degrees Celsius 66 Farenheit see snow for the first time in Sassenheim. It all happens right here folks.

Here's a version of Fats Waller's Jitterbug Waltz. We're playing it in Db versus Eb. Joe and I played this at our recital at Berklee this past summer. It's a fun tune to play on. There are some fantastic pianist versions of the tune from Art Tatum and Chick Corea.

Here's Pt. 2 of articulation, ideas on adding accents inside lines.

Did I post this already?

I titled it 'Out Take'. But I can't find a major screw up. Maybe I dropped a beat somewhere? See what you can find!

Guys, here's a clip of Autumn Leaves (also with some reharm behind the melody). I used some reharm during the solo as well. Many players use a chromatic II-7 V7 on the 3rd bar. Bill Evans did some simple but effective diatonic passing chords from I to IV on the bridge (which I shamelessly copied).

There's a great version on YT of Gary playing Autumn Leaves when he was in Moscow with a saxist Igor Butman.

Form his Monk gig on Saturday.
