Using Ewe drums, the Yambu clave is played on the bell and low drum. On high drums, Son and Rumba clavé weave around the Yambu. An original clavé phrase (rotating the son to a different position) joins the series. The 4/4 sequence transitions to 6/8 for a profound shift in feel that is prominent in Afro-Cuban music. It ends with an original Samba that morphs into different time signatures and energy. 

Here's the link to the watch party. We discuss a bit at the end of the video.

Let's have a watch party on Feb. 13, 12pm East Coast Time. 

We can do it on the VibesWorkshop Facebook page. 

 

I'd like to watch the Milt Jackson interview together. Discuss it in the chat.

Thanks to Barry K! 

 

I love hearing Milt talk about playing with 4 mallets! And saying because of his speed he can do the same things as four mallet players!

 

Interesting! 

Not putting them down or complaining, however their description of a marimba is funny. Wait till the end! 

 

My quartet has its first performance since I moved to Colorado tomorrow night. The set runs from 7-8:15 pm (Mountain time).

It will be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook at the links below. I have also posted the event's description. Hope you can tune in!

Here is a song from my book - Vibraphone Virtuosity: Advanced Progressive Etudes. I hope you enjoy

my vibraphone solo, Etude No 35, taken directly from my book!

In this video I'll cover different strategies and approaches for creating lines using simple triads. The idea is pretty easy and comes from the triadic harmonization of both major and minor scales.

Hope you can get something helpful out of this lesson.

Hey everyone,

Just a little technical exercise I've been working on that has some great applications for using all four mallets in your lines, and for producing a constant arpeggiating effect.

Might be a nice TOTM. 

 

It really is a great study of harmony!
