Great CDs

Can anyone recommend good albums on Brazilian Choro for Vibes?

Thanks

Hey everyone, 

I just heard a recording of "Greasy Greens" from Lionel Hampton's album One of A Kind: Great Moments From Concert Appearances Abroad. I want to learn it, but I can't seem to find it online anywhere. Thanks for any help! 

Hey Guys, I'm doing some researches about Vibes Trio (vibes-bass-drums) in the history for my Post-Graduate Degree and was actually wondering if someone here knows something about the 1st album which was ever recorded?
Thanks for your help
Cheers from Switzerland

Post ya stuff here

Oleo- Bb
Blues in the Closest- F, G, Eb, Bb

Wow!!! Somehow I missed this album.....what a beautiful record! The instrumentation, the compositions, the understated intensity/groove of the whole thing...so deep. Man, wish I new a burning accordion player to jam with!

Mallets + Accordion = SONIC MAGIC!

Other than this album, Burton/Piazzola, and The Claudia Quintet, I don't know of any other records with both mallets and accordion. Anybody have any other recommendations with that combination?

Four West Coast Vibraphone Greats, Four Great Albums

I’m starting a new weekly blog to talk about the vibes: players, important albums, concepts. For this month of April, I’d like to start by discussing four first-rate West Coast vibraphonists: Victor Feldman, Terry Gibbs, Charlie Shoemake, and Bobby Hutcherson. I’ll pick one great album from each artist’s discography, and talk about why I think it’s happening. I hope you’ll check out the player and the record (if you haven’t already), and chime in with your thoughts!

I just received my copy of vibist Mark Sherman's duo album with Kenny Barron called "Interplay".I highly recommend checking it out.Great playing and chemistry between Mark and Kenny.

Understated sophistication that aims for the heart.

I am listening to this now, it blows my mind that these recordings were done in the mid 1950's.

David, I’ve put your 1995 trio album with Dino Saluzzi and Anthony Cox called Rios on my mp3 player a few weeks ago, and I’m really surprised how much I’ve been returning to it. What stands out for me is the combination of bandoneon and marimba and how well those textures blend. It really has a very ‘wood’ sound to it. So I wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about some of the use of the marimba for this particular album.
