Hey everyone,
I started to work on septembersong (Kurt Weill).
In the picture you see the voicings for the 1th 8 bars I made for the A section.
Am I making big mistakes in this ? or does it look like something I can work with ?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Greetings,
Stefan.

There comes November… and its new TOTM: Alone Together! We started with great lessons and etudes. So join us!
Today we learned the passing of Angelo J. Vaglio. He must have been 95 or 96 years old but he kept playing nearly till this end and was an honourable member of our community. We dedicate this newsletter to him and will keep up vibing in his memory.

I started practicing Alone Together on piano, recorded it and overdubbed vibes. Work-in-Progress.

Most of us know who Angelo is. He was probably one of the oldest working vibes players in the world. There are a whole bunch of videos up here I think of him playing, it's not there on YouTube.
He was a really nice guy, totally into the Vibraphone, and that age 93 was working 3 to 5 days a week.
So it's pretty sad to report that Angelo died last night, but he did have a really long and active life!
Does anyone knows wo designed the first vibraphone with large bars and witch company first produce it?
thanks a lot
Giovanni

Here's a dampening etude for Alone Together. It can done with two mallets. Basically, it's the melody with guide tones in between the melody notes. It can be a little tricky because there's some interval leaps. Just take it slow, and be sure to clearly distinguish between the melody and guide tones in terms of dynamics.
