The Red Gag

Anybody have any specific info about this video of Red Norvo throwing his bars out onto the stage on this Benny Goodman show? BTW, that's Hank Jones on piano looking suprised. When I first saw this I was horrified, but I've come to understand that it was a gag. Love to hear more info about it. Very strange.

Bag's Groove Transcription form the Birth of MJQ

I was looking around to see if anyone has posted a transcription of Milt Jackson's tune Bag's Groove and I have yet to find one. I'll keep the search going, but I figured I would post my version too. I hope some of you get a chance to check this out. Oh, and by the way...this solo comes from the album "The Birth of the MJQ". I'm pretty sure I found it on iTunes.

Forum Topic: Need a Vibes

Hello, I have just moved to the city of Mannheim in Baden-Wurtemberg, Deutschland and I am going to study at the Hochschule für Musik here. I came from Argentina, and I couldn´t bring my Vibes with me, so I wonder, if anyone is selling a Vibes here or near, or know someone that is willing to sell a Vibes.
Any help is welcome!

I'm a Subscriber but I Keep Getting Access Denied. Why?

You should be able to post this as an audio post. If you're getting 'Access Denied', then the question is what browser and what operating system are you using. Maybe your cookies are turned off? It's definitely something wrong on your end. If you're not using Firefox, then download a copy of Firefox and install it. Don't set any security stuff too tight to start. Leave everything at a default.

Next try getting on the site from different computers, i.e. a friends, your laptop, etc.

Forum Topic: The Hours - Philip Glass

This is my arrangement of The Hours by Philip Glass for 2 marimbas.

This is a live recording from my friends Scott's Graduation Recital at the University of Lethbridge. I'm the guy in the black.

Hope you like, this piece is really great. The challenge was trying to sound like one person blending and lining up all the polyrhythms.

Forum Topic: Cuban Vibraphone / Guitar piece I wrote. "Told You"

I have a duet. Vibraphone / hand drums(zarb,tabla,riq,pandeiro,kanjira,frame drums etc.) and guitar (classical, oud and a few other guitars)

We are starting to build up a repetoire.

We play some flamenco, some tangos, some jazz lot's of different stuff.

I love Cuban piano so much, but I love the vibraphone. So this song is my influence of cuban music specially cuban piano.

Hope you enjoy.

There is spost to be lots of percussive guitar stuff added and several fills, but I didn't notate them.

Who is Minsoo Lim?

Minsoo Lim arrived some 4 months ago on the site as subscriber. What makes him a bit different from most of us, is that he leaves in South Korea. We already have a few members from this country, but so little from Asia.

Some of us got in contact with him through Face Book. So I asked him if he could talk about him, and maybe about the specificities of his country as for Vibes, Jazz, Music in general, or just life.

Minsoo, please, tell us who you are!!

And... welcome on Vibesworkshop!
