It's Terry's birthday this Oct. 13th! I got this terrific very recent vid of him (May 30th 2010). I truly dig it, and am totally amazed by his groove, phrasing, touch, soul and energy!
How many times did we come to that conclusion: vibes keep you young! ;-)
Hey Guys, I set up my mics and recorded this quick lesson on how I might approach Blue Bossa.
I breeze over some things but I hope you get something out of it, and if you have ANY questions don't hesitate to ask and i'll try and explain more clearly!
Happy birthday to one swinging vibe player!!!
Hey everyone,
Another great lesson by Gary Burton! This is another masterclass! - Tony Miceli
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
