Hi All,

Playing the classic song "Darn That Dream" with inspiration from the great pianists like Art Tatum, Errol Garner, Dave McKenna, Teddy Wilson and Oscar Peterson. I was listening to Tatum (Pablo recordings) this week during the commute to Boston. I hadn't listened for awhile. Still unbelievable.

Hi everybody.

This post is addressed more to French audience.

I have the great pleasure to invite you to the Port Barcares Jazz Festival where my trio Babu Combo will play The 2nd of July, 17:OO AM to 18:45 AM.

The night will end with Manu Dibango and his whole band.

Free entrance.

Babu : vibraphone and guitar
Jean-Pierre Barreda : bass
Stéphane Beuvelet : drums

If you are around Port Barcares, come with us to have fun !

I have been studying a lot of Chick Transcriptions lately and found some techniques that are imitable on Vibraphone.

Hi Guys this month i'm going to do the second part about So what voicings.
I'll apply the voicings to harmonize a melody (Bags Groove), and for comping purpouse using this particular structure (II-V-I)

As usual feel free to contact me through my website: www.giovanniperin.com

Have a nice week

I invited some young musicians to my apartment for a little jam and since I got new mikes and some killer Adam studio monitors I wanted to record a bit of it just for fun. Totally unmixed, just a bit of EQ on the vibes, and only one mike on the piano and drums and bass. The bass player is a young american, fairly new in Berlin, Josh Ginsburg.
I love the sound of the vibes!
