Hi guys, today I'd like to show you one significant lick of Dave Samuels. It's taken from his song "Turnabout" (Here and now, Caribbean jazz project). Check out this record because it's simply gorgeous!
We will analyse in particular how he uses upper structures and double stops in octaves.
Hi vibes lover, today I'd like to challenge you and your friend with this easy progression!
the difficult part of the exercise is that you have to do it in all the keys saying out loud the name of the chord you are playing and then make a video and post it here!
good luck
Giovanni
"The Nearness Of You" - Solo vibraphone on this classic with a focus on various dampening techniques including slide, hand and pivot dampening.
Way Maker - this song was requested by a friend who asked me to record it. I added my own spin on it with some reharmonization. The lead sheet with reharm can be viewed and downloaded via the link in the video description.
See the attached PDF for notation.
Hello everyone. Here is a gem. This must be why we don't see vibes players in music videos...we gotta take a lesson from this guy!
And just to make sure my ears aren't tricking me...there is no vibraphone in this entire audio? x-D
Hi everyone,
I've been moving to Philadelphia for school and haven't had much time to finish these lessons, but I managed to piece this one together (apologies for the lack of visual aesthetic, I don't have a great setup here yet). I should be finishing up more soon (McCoy Tyner part 2, George Shearing, Benny Green, etc.)
"My Ship" by Kurt Weill. Working on this classic song for solo vibraphone with a focus on a number of areas including orchestration, dampening, reharm, voicings and counterpoint. A beautiful song with so many wonderful versions from many of the jazz greats.
hope you like it,
best, Stefan
