"On Green Dolphin Street" - playing this classic standard with alternating choruses in the keys of C and Eb along with a focus on lines using improv concepts from my four volume series The Complete Guide To Improvisation.
A vibe player named Ray K. sent me this. This is how he saves the felt on his vibes. he attaches this wooden piece he made and it keeps the felt off the bars and his felt stays useful and new for a long time.
Here's a note Ray sent me…
Hi Everyone,
With all this snow in the northeast it's hard to believe spring has arrived. At least that's what the calendar says.
This month's Good Vibes happens to fall on Easter Sunday, also known this year as April Fool's Day.
I'll…
My student and I were working on “Darn That Dream” today in a private lesson. We were talking about playing voicings under the melody and discussing ways of adding color to the harmony while playing the melody. A lot of the voicings and…
Hi vibes lovers today i'll talk about:

This guy has been around for a while with this approach to holding mallets. And now he has a student it seems. That's great, who knows where it will wind up!

I love playing ballads!
Here's a version of "My Foolish Heart" that I was happy with from a recent trio gig with the great Drew Gress on bass and drummer Johnathan Blake.
Questions, ask away...
Thanks for listening.

“Someday My Prince Will Come” - my students and I have been working on this song the past week. Working on solo playing with the vibe students and improv concepts with the piano students. Fun stuff.
Randy said recently, I'll let the music speak for itself.
It's taken a long time however I'm really getting into Walt Dickerson and his eccentric style.
Sorry but I can be a skeptic of eccentric players, thinking they're just BSing, but…
No vibraphone, I'm afraid, but since we talk so much about jazz on the site, I thought I would share some of my guitar playing. I started out as a guitarist and no matter how much I improve as a vibraphone player, I don't think I'll ever…
Here's my part of the duet, with yours Tony! For reference, I take the head in and the first chorus, and Tony takes the second chorus and the head out.
Note From Tony: If you want to try the duet the parts are here.
Here's my take of etude #15.
I appreciate how these etudes are really written for this instrument. In a way, Dave Friedman is like the Chopin of the vibraphone. These etudes really make you develop a fluency with the articulation and…
Something very cool about Walk Dickerson and his approach to the vibes!
I know Randy Sutin will agree!
He crazy at the end, but I really like his playing!
