A few months ago, as I was playing my YV2700 Yamaha vibraphone, the rotators stopped spinning and my control lights were kinda sputtering. I reached down to check the motor pullies and they were "frozen". No way could I get the belts operating and I had to play the rest of the gig with no rotation.

Venezuelan vibraphone player Alfred Naranjo joins the Venezuelan Expressions concert at the New Freedom Theater for a concert fusing traditional folklore rhythms with the music from the Caribbean, jazz and with some elements of classical music. They are joined by local bass player Jason Fraticelli. This is a unique opportunity to hear how these exciting south american musicians continue to merge influences while keeping the flavor of their folk music strong. Alfred is a very creative composer and improviser and worth taking the time to hear both as a soloist and ensemble member.

This is an version of Brecker Bros Inside Out with Aebersold backing track a lot of notes which really suits brass and reed players, here's my attempt, tear me up

Hello,

I've written a very simple and free function to enable those who need to write chord sequences, figured notation and simple macro-music analysis. On their webpages. It's not fool-proof, so it does need testing. Please take a look and let me know what you think!

It's at http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/musify/

Are you tired of blue bossa? I don´t like the song too much also. But i think it´s a good study and best of it to play it the way you might like it more. I tried this today. One good thing about tonys do it in all keys is, that i could choose F minor for this version since the low F is my deepest note which creates a special flair on this.

p.s. i hate my pedal noise on such quite playing it´s so disturbing but i tried everything to fix this shit. i need nico´s help for this or better nicos vibes....

Another great lesson from Gary Burton! - Tony Miceli
