Hi vibes lovers today i'll talk about how to study tunes.
I'll also explain what is my approach in arranging my own version of a jazz standard: "Very early"
Thanks a lot and remember to follow me on Facebook Istagram and Youtube!

My student Pablo was asking about writing a piece with one not as the melody.
So I recommended he write down a bunch of chords with B (his note for the melody, trying to use chords with B as an upper partial as well as a third or fifth.
I figured I'd quickly try and bang out my own version. So here it is. gave myself a couple tries and about 10 minutes.
After two years of retirement, Terry Gibbs performed with a new version of his Dream Band in May, 2016 and shows that he hasn't lost a step despite being 91 years old at the time. He swings through a Steve Allen composition, "Playing the Field", followed by a favorite, "What's New", where his solo is a master class in playing a ballad.
For those interested, Anthony Smith's excellent book, Masters of the Vibes, devotes an important chapter to Terry, who recounts the many trials and tribulations of a jazz master through many decades of playing.
Hey Everyone,
I humbly post this one, I am pretty sure it should be twice as fast as this, I'm still working it up.
The video does not show the "best vibraphone ever", but it presents a collection of design ideas for vibraphone frames realized as a prototype. Not all ideas are mine.
I wanted to design a "different" framework, which can be packed into a single suitcase, especially for air travel.
At the same time, I did not want to compromise on the sound quality. I wanted to eliminate known disadvantages of the typical table frames (pedal sounds, structural sound from bar to frame, rattling of resonant tubes, ...).
