This is a wonderful page recommended to me by my friend Nahum Ben-Yehuda, who was the inventer of the historic "Good Vibes" mallets. Here are some interesting facts with pictures of many of the old Deagan instruments, originally designed by Henry J. Schluter.

My Piano buddy Laura Klein introduced me to this tune by Wayne Shorter to me a few years ago. It is a tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese political activist that recently won the Nobel Peace Prize.

It proved to be very difficult for me because of the long modal sections interspersed with some free playing - both areas I am weak in.

But this recording did come out ok I think. Shorter recorded it as a duet with Herbie, and that version is great.

Bobby Hutcherson has been a huge influence on my playing. His interpetation of Wise One is soooo deep.. this is my version of the tune done this last weekend in eugene oregon. first time i had ever played this tune beyond my house and the first time i played this tune with this crew up in eugene oregon.

To practise this tune I inspired from Rusty where he uploaded a wonderfull version of this tune and I thought a cool idea to practise it in terms of solo vibes using chords and lines together. I also recorded a midi bass to help me get the groove. The additional track is just comping a band I found at the internet :)

Thanks

I've thinking about the idea of mini concerts. Let me explain.

This month alone I've recorded over 2 gigs of.... me! This is how I practice. Sometimes I post some of these tracks on the site, hoping others will do the same. And they do!!

So I had the idea recently of recording 3 tunes at a time and going from one to the other. See how certain tunes felt together, Practice concentrating and playing several tunes at the same time.

*整個練習踏板都踩著不要放

Behn 打的是這些和弦進行：

演奏Fmajor7的和聲配置: F-C-E-A
然後Fmajor7 要變成 F minor 7 再接到 Bb7 （ii-v)
最後解決到 Eb major 7 ( i )

再來把Eb major7 變成 Ebm 在接到 Ab7 （ii-v）
最後解決到一級 Db ( i )

Behn如何止音：

第一步驟～
打完F major 7後，用右手同時止掉兩個音，分別是3, 7音，也就是E 和 A 音。
這時候的左手也不能閒下來，右手止音同時左手敲擊Fminor7的3, 7音也就是Eb 和Ab 音。

第二步驟～
接下來要變成Bb7聲響，就得把Eb這個音止掉（右手），同時移低半音敲擊D（左手），
這時候檢查所有還在響的音有F C D Ab
