plenty to do here.

• Put the chords in Ireal
• Transcribe my solo
• Make sure you can play and comp rootless voicings through out this for 4 choruses.
• Play my solo
• put my solo into Bb
• play my solo followed by your solo. Try and make it similer in nature
• do it in Bb and other keys.

If you click right below here on Bags Groove it should ask you to open up Ireal pro and should import this.

I hosted the vibe coffeehouse hang today and made some games.

If you weren't at the hang, feel free to play and write your guesses here in the comments! :)

Hi everybody!

I am sure this topic comes up pretty often, but I am looking to expand my mallet collection and wondering what vibraphone mallets you are all liking lately?

I use Tony's mallets for just about everything and I love them but I'd like to start investing in some more options for different purposes.

Does anyone have any suggestions/favorite pairs that might suit the following?
1. A general purpose set of mallets that are more lightweight
2. A set of soft mallets for quieter settings

Thank you!!

Probably one of the best things about our instrument is that, when all hell is breaking loose around us, we can retreat to an instrument that is capable of playing very peaceful and soothing tones. It's one of those nights over here and this is one of my mother in law's favorite Christmas tunes, "Mary's Boy Child" by Harry Belafonte.

Thought I'd share it. Been working on some new recording technique for very soft playing as well.

Hi Everyone,
