Here's another recording from my jam with Tony, and Mark today. This is "The Days of Wine and Roses", which I was working on for the TOTM. I did it all from memory, which is a big deal for me. I got lost a little, then got back in by listening to the bass and piano. I also comp during the bass solo, which means I can't rely on listening to the bass to keep track. That was tough for me.

But, man that was FUN, playing with other folks! I usually just do solo arrangements in my basement.

Enjoy,

Barry

I had a very special day today. Tony, and bass player Mark Przybylowski came over my house to hang and jam. At the end, we got a bit silly with a jam based on my "Barry Ktude #1".

See what other tunes you can hear.

BTW, I figured out how to mic the piano. The main trick is to use stereo mics. I used the AMT 404s that I normally use for my vibes and used a single AKG C1000S for the vibes. The bass was picked up by all of the mics.

Hi Everyone,
Good Vibes airs Sunday night Feb 6, 8-10pm eastern time. Yes, I know it is Super Bowl night! If you're watching the Super Bowl, the rebroadcast is Wednesday afternoon at 4-6. OR -- watch the Super Bowl with a Good Vibes radio soundtrack!
Randy Sutin has the first cut with "Lift Every Voice," in honor of black history month.
Then we travel to some warm places to get away from the snow-bound northeast: Tahiti, Barbados,
Phoenix, St. Thomas. And if you can't get away, walk on the sunny side of the street.
Hope you can listen in.

hey everyone,

i just thought this might be helpfull for some of the beginners of you, because to me it opened up the doors for my first improvisations. i had a chat with marie about soloing, that´s why i did this "lesson". i´m no tony and just a student, so please don´t mind me doing this but i thought any tip might be helpful.

A few months ago Marie posted an interesting video of a fine European vibes player doing a rather advanced version of the pop tune Hallelujah. I liked his version, which had a lot of improvisation and some impressive technical feats.
