I was checking this out. I dig this guys hands. They seem pretty fluid to me. He's improvising the piece and I like his melodies also. he studies at Peabody under ??? Van Sice a great percussionist and teacher.

This tune had me playing late last night. Couldn't get enough of it. It was the same when I was playing "Song For Meg", when I first got the lead sheet.

BTW, the Tony Miceli MODEL mallets just play by themselves. I just have to hold them. They are that amazing.

You know I've heard stories about two mallet players maki g comments about four mallet players back in the day. I bet we all have. It must have looked strange at first. OK, so check out 8 Mallets now. weird. Maybe some day this will look normal?

Hi everyone.

This is a minor blues tune I wrote called: "It's Alright, it's Coo"

I would love to put a recording of someone playing it either solo or with a group on my new website which will be running in a couple weeks.

Please try it out!

Intros are cool too! And you don't necessarly have to play the written coda, up to you.

Joe

Hi Tony!
All the very best from your friends and supporters in Germany!
I attached a live recording from the 22nd of June, where I played a solo version of Nardis. I totally (!!!!!!!!!) dig your groove, timing and phrasing when you are playing solo! I hope your influence is (a bit) recognizable!
Keep up the perfect work!
Greeting from Holger
P.S.: The picture shows me and Florian Poser right after the performance!

Here's a little birthday song from my garageband I like to give to friends. sorry about my voice.

Thanks to you guys posting your versions of this tune, I've learned a lot. I've been working on this as well. Here's my take 2. Slowed down thanks to Dana and more rubato thanks to Eric!

Hey Tony,

Glad I barely got this in on time! Hope you enjoyed your day and that you'll like this version of Black Orpheus!

All the best,
James

This is my first take on Misty was goin ok until my little grandson came in to the room to show me his new watch and as you will hear and would'nt leave until I acknowledged it, I kept on soloing it was comical then he just left.

Thank you for this amazing website. I didn't play the vibes up until about 2years ago. At first it was a very big struggle. I then seen a video clip about a year later of Tony playing Summertime and Blue Bossa solo vibes. I made a choice to make vibraphone one of my main instruments of study. Below is a old second hand jenco vibraphone which i practice away from school on. The bars aren't graduated so some things are a lot more challenging specially note accuracy

I am planning to do a masters degree in vibraphone as a solo instrument a year from now.

Thank you tony,
