Just a quick tip when working on tunes. This sort of gets you into the zone of the tune. It's a good warm up to ensure that you know the changes of the tune.
Here's a lick over a ii V I progression. This you've probably heard many times already!
Here's an excerpt from from my senior recital at Curtis.
Le Livre de Claviers
By Phillipe Manoury
More Randy! He plays great and really swings!
Randy is a great vibist from the Philly area. He was at the vibe hang on Feb. 8, 09. Here he is playing with the Tyrone Brown Trio!
Joe's plays vibes and I comp on 'You Don't Know What Love Is'. Check him out. He's the man!!!
I play 'My Foolish Heart' and Joe Comps!
How lucky we are to have Joe Locke on the vibeworkshop.com.
I know he planted a bug in Nico's ear about sending down the 3.5 Octave Vanderplas Baileo vibraphone for vibesworkshop.com to use. As we all know my instrument was rattling like crazy.
Nico and Bill Youhass agreed that that was a good idea and I'm so grateful. Now we have a great instrument for great vibe players to come and play on!
