Hey guys, if you caught the Vibe Hang last weekend this is the original song i TRIED to play. Unfortunately it was not ready to be site read by a trio, but here is a solo version to make up for my sloppy hang performance!

This still needs a little work, but what better place to post a work in progress!

Players,
As a dedicated music lover, but a non-musician, I have always had these questions and here is a great opportunity to ask them. If these topics have been covered before, I apologize.

How much, if at all, do lyrics affect your playing a tune? Is it important to you to read the lyrics when learning a song, if you don't already know them? How important is it to know the history of the song; if it was written for a movie or play, what the movie/play was about? Or is the emotional content of the tune relayed to you through the notes sufficient?

Fixed it. Enjoy!

Hey Everyone,

I just found out that this video was posted on youtube of a gig I did last monday. This is one of my new projects. I recorded a cd with this singer. I play on 2 tracks on the album and here we are live with 11 band members on a small stage. I'm featured here with a short solo. so check it out. I'm in the back in the dark...

hope you like it!

Hi all,

Many of you know Gabe Globus-Hoenich as the drummer at many of Tony's vibe hangs. Lately, I've been doing some playing at his place. He sent me something we did about 2 months ago that I forgot about. It's an 11 minute marathon Speak Low. We had alot of fun playing it. Sometimes, I think it's good to just stretch out as far as you can, especially with guys that are going the distance with you. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, I like playing with these guys.

Behn Gillece- vibraphone
Jordan Berger- bass
Gabe Globus-Hoenich- drums

Updates for the PAL:

less vibrato on the keys (no more pitch bend)

tighter percussion track

include 442 (Sorry if I mixed up the titles on this....LMK if you find one that is backwards)

different keys

Here's part three of the tune Blue Bossa. In this lesson we talk about creating simple lines.

Here's a quick note:

THE HANG IS HERE

The next vibe hang will be Novemeber 7th. I think we're going to have the vibe hang from University of Delaware. It will feature marimbist Casey Cangelosi, University of Delaware students (and Harvey) and hopefully Temple and Uarts student vibe players!

We'll a guest player of the wood pile (marimba!) Casey Cangelosi! He's a smokin' marimba player!!
