I had a great talk with Ed via email. We talked about whether the vibraphone was on it's last leg or not.
I won't go into our conversation yet, because I'd like to hear what you guys have to say first.

In addition make sure you can play the following:
Scales: Dorian scales (2nd mode of major) in all 12 keys.

Tunes: Have you Met Miss Jones?, Blue Bossa, Bluesette, All the Things You Are, There Will Never be Another You.
QDV stands for quick and dirty video. That usually means I'm swamped but I'm trying to get a lesson up!!!

Thanks to Pax for finding this!
