Hey Guys I was just in Italy and played on this Bergerault Vibraphone. I believe its a french company. Anyone heard of them?
The vibraphone was REALLY quiet and had a very dull sound. Although I bet alot of that had to do with my mallets, I think the larger head mallet just did not work with those bars.

Here's another Ted Piltzecker video to go along with the one Todd just posted -- apparently from the same gig.

Did a duet with myself today for fun.
You guys should try it! It's fun and it's a challenge.
sometimes I use a click track and sometimes I don't. On this version I had a simple samba beat playing in the background.
I HATE taking pictures. Hate hate. I was looking for a professional photographer, but I can't stand the process. So I borrowed a good camera, my wife has a good eye and I'm trying to do this the cheap AND easy way!
Anyway I had to do a stupid shot for her. One of my favorites actually.
I don't think this has been posted before. Sadly there's way too little Vic Feldman video out there. He was a natural in every way. This is the Stan Levey group with Vic Felman on vibes playing "All the Things You Are." I think the arrangement of the head is very cool. It's too short, but any Vic Feldman video is good Vic Feldman video. Stan Levey was a unique drummer as well. Watching him play is like looking at a mirror image of most drummers.
Name a tune that you would like see on one of Gloria's future radio show. (Gloria has a monthly radio show where she does an all vibraphone show!!!
I'll pick the first one. My all time favorite. Gary Burton's - Chega De Saudade (No More Blues)

What's your tune?
Dear Angelo,
This is a "Who is". You are invited to tell us about your life. Whatever you like, how you feel like!
Thanks!

Here's the next part of lesson three. This takes the chord from soloists to the next level, which we could call scale tone solos. :-)
