Thanks to Tony Miceli, I joined the VW and am starting to become acquainted with the make-up of the fine organiztaion, plus, communicating with many members to discuss many subjects of concern to all vibists. Also, I…
Upon Gary Burton's suggestion, this is the first female vibist review! :o)
The biography of Marjorie Hyams is quite short. She was born in 1923 and as said Scott Yanow "if [she] had not retired prematurely, she would be much better-known…
Guys,
I just got a mail today from Philippe Briand. For those who don't know him yet "Philippe" is a first hour subscriber and among our dear "young veterans". After decades of great jazz drum playing with the greatest, he started vibes…
For me John Lewis was one of those pianists whom sometimes I thought, man can this guy play or not. His minimalist approach is a little confusing sometimes for me.
But, check him out playing Django here. Beautiful harmonies and some of…
It's Dana's Birthday! Besides being a great player Dana has incredible energy and is a real team player. I love having him on the site!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANA!!
This is an effective 4 mallet exercise that I’ve been using for years. I do the exercise at the beginning of my practice time and often before a gig or concert. I think it helps to condition your hands and fingers by building some strength…
I stumbled on this! Probably at least 10 years old. This is a group I had with Christoph Eidens. Christoph died a few years back.
I'm playing Marimba! Maybe that's the last time I played it!! It's been a LONG time!
It's My tune. I'll…
I'm big on getting my time together. I have very little of it now and I must use it wisely. I need to practice 2 hours a day minimum, or I'd rather donate my body to science and spare a few bunnies what they have to go through. I can't…
Hi All,
I've done a webapp for the iPhone that shows the videos that have been posted here. Point Safari at http://vibes.phelan-4.com/roku/iphone.php to view it.
This gives us four ways now to see the videos on the site (as of this…
I came home from work this evening and was surprised to find my new Mike Balter custom Mallets had been delivered. It was amazing how fast it was from request to delivery.
These are Tony Miceli signature mallets and the Mike Balter R23's…

This is a superb solo by Joe Locke from his Sticks and Strings album available through:…
I am working on You Stepped Out of a Dream. Listening to Nat King Cole, and Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 versions. I don't have the lead sheet so I figured most of it out. Still working on the B section.
Here is a duet with one of…
Guess: two French chicks wanting to post a tune for a cool Philly guy. What might be their choice, huh? They will quickly get to a famous French love song, all in softness like a lullaby…
So here we go, Emilie and I… just for you! Cuz with…
I know everyone is going to say play it slower and I do when practicing.
But this is about where I'd like it to be. It may be a few clicks to fast ....hmmm.... not sure yet. This is 158 BPM.
Figuring out solo vibes stuff is really…
What's great about this site is that a week can be a month or a year!!!
Check out this Parker lick. I thought it would be interesting for your guys to play it through the keys and learn from it. Very simple and to the point, but it weaves…
