Hi All,
Good Vibes, the first and only broadcast program to feature the vibraphone, will air on March 7, 2021 and March 10, 2021. Details below.
I wish Joe Locke and Stefon Harris happy March birthdays by playing Joe's "The Shadow of Your Smile" from Sound Tracks and Stefon's "Easy Now" from the album Keep Searchin'. Gary Burton reunites with Astor Piazzolla, Bryan Carrott is In Your Dreams, Behn goes to church, and Tony tells Porgy of his love. So much more! Tune in.
I'm also posting shows on mixcloud.com where you can listen anytime.

For me the ability to phrase on the vibraphones is essential to communicating one's musical message. Nuance of attack, length of notes, dynamics within 2,3 or 4 notes, combining legato, staccato within a phrase, varying space within ideas; all these nuances are tools and when used musically, give your message life and depth. I love working on these concepts using changes to standards or just playing free. I've chosen rhythm changes here because they're familiar, and a medium swing feel. Swinging eighth notes are also a way to phrase lines.

It's a fly by your seat mess!! But the vibe is right!!
This is a tune of mine called "Impulse". This is the first and only take.
It wasn't planned and there was no chart. We just talked about the chords and form. Humbled by the people who can turn an idea into sometime in the very moment it happens.
Thank you Bates Bros!!!

This is great.

You guys are doing great. It's what I wanted. It's really fun to work with people who do the work. It's gratifying and I teach but I can also learn from you guys.

I will do more of these!!!!
