Hei you all! My name is Lucas Dorado, I'm a new subscribing member of "VibesWorkshop" and I would like to share a composition of mine with you. I wrote it for Solo-Vibraphone. Since I'm here on a website with a lot of great Vibesplayers, every feedback is very welcome!

Check out my friend Steve Khan's tribute to Bobby. Beautiful.

Hey Guys

Some sad news. Bobby Hutcherson dies last night.

He will be missed terribly by the jazz world and especially us her at vibesworkshop.

So any Bobby stories out there?
What's your favorite Bobby cd?

RIP Bobby!

Here's a "jam session"! version of Groovin' High with a long intro. I like the roughness and experimental quality of the take. We didn't discuss the transition from the intro to the head, or much else. (Maybe it sounds like that!)

Ok Tricotism: Here are your assignments :-)

Beginners:

1. Print out the Epic Etude. There are 3 choruses in this etude. Take the chorus with the comping (chords) and fill in the chords with their extensions.
2. Play the head, play a solo (even a chord tone solo), comp for one chorus and then play the head out. Repeat the last 4 bars as a tag.
3. Play the A section in one of key.

Intermediate and advanced

Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton - a beautiful and emotional song which is one of my favorite tracks from Eric's Unplugged recording. (a really great recording). It was a challenge but also fun working on this song with the mainly diatonic and triadic harmony. Any wrong note sticks out like a sore thumb.
