Today I was trying to commit Girl from Ipanema to memory and realized that, for vibes, the key of Bb is much better than the key of F.
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.
Tom P.
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)
