Hi all!

I recently re-recovered Moondog's Bird'S Lament and I thought maybe someone here might have a lead sheet of this song?

If so please be so kind to drop me a line, thanks a lot, cheers Stefan

Hi all!

I discovered that the way I am trying to play Work Song is a quite tricky mallet dampening etude to me when I try to let the chords ring for comping. Next time I'll use a metronome - promised.

any feed back welcome, cheers Stefan

Hi all!

As my baby and his mother are sleeping I can't play vibes and instead I play guitar.

David Friedman talked at the Delaware workshop about Jazz as a language one wants to learn. This recording of mine shall show how I speak "Jazzguitar" after about 18 years of "training" now.

Sorry, no vibraphone this time, hope you don't mind, btw the piece is called Somebody's Soul and I actually play only the comping - maybe someone wants to dub something over it?

any feed back welcome

cheers Stefan

hi!

I just realised that the vibes have one more advantage beside the cool sound, the cool attitude, the excluiveness and the fact that vibesplayers get all the chicks: you can play it with a baby wrap! no way of doing this with a guitar!

So folks get youself a set of vibes - the chick and eventually an offsping might follow BUT you can still play!

Cheers Stefan

Hi!

This is just another practice tape on Summertime actually the first jazz song I ever played in my life.

Well I also want to ecourage all of you who are amateurs like me and have not yet posted anything (remember there are 1000 people registered on this site)

Thanx for listening, critiques are welcome

Cheers Stefan

Hi all!

I'm sitting at home grounded with a bad cold so I got more time than usual to post here.

Someone at TheVibe.net reported that he recently acquied a 4-octave DeMorrow vibraphone - is there anyone familiar with this brand? Any opinions? Nico?

Well, I am an old gear head

cheers Stefan

Hi all

Since my favourite musical companion a flutist is on maternity leave for another year now I started to check out other hobbyist people to make music with. So far I haven’t been very successful. One guitar player I met who was quite on an equal level to me and was a quite nice person. However suddenly he was no more reachable for me without any further notice. Another guitar player who was a nice person as well turned out to be a low level beginner (although he had tons of equipment) – he also quickly disappeared.

Hi Tony, hi all,

quite some time a go John McLaughlin was in town playing a concert tour called "Remember Shakti". One of the songs was a piece of classical Indian music. I wonder is some of you dear VWers have some receommendation where to start with this kind of stuff? Cd's? artists?

Any thoughts? thanks!

Cheers Stefan

Hi!

Just a practise tape of me playing Autumn Leaves, don't worry its only two chorusses ;-)

critics welcome

Cheers Stefan

P.S. just added a version of the mp3 without metronome

Hi all!

A few days ago I received the Vic Firth Gary Burton mallets - 2 pairs for a total of Euro 65,- Including shipping + import sales/purchases tax + handling by the Austrian mail services. Here in Austria, if the price of an item is less then Euro 150,- there is no duty!

Thats a bargain since a single pair costs about Euro 55,- or more(check out thomann and all the others).

So my recommendation is to order by one of the big shops. I ordered at Steveweissmusic which I can recommend, but there are others.

The only con is that it takes some 4 weeks to get the stuff delivered.
