Here is a part of a lesson by Tony, day 1 of the workshop in Sassenheim.
Tony speaks about "embellishing notes" or "surrounding notes" (after a question from Ben "redders" Redman).
Tony asked all of us to get to the vibraphone and just play a melody.
Here is Vid playing "But Beautiful".

This Thursday, I'm doing a concert with Gerald Veasley and the Electric Mingus Project.
I think we're going to stream the concert live. We're checking out a couple things with internet from the club. If it all works out then we'll be live. I'll be using my vibes with the k&k system on them as well as my MalletKat. |
