This is one of Joe Henderson's most popular tunes. During the first 8 bars try keeping the pedal down to sustain the long A- and C- chords. Use mallet dampening to keep the busy melody part as clean and distinct as possible.

Hi All- What are the best cases/bags being made for Musser vibraphones these days? I have the original cases they made for the M48, but I think my M48 is too old and rickety to tour with. My m46 is younger, but I currently have no cases…

Ok, my final pic for the day, I promise! This was just too funny to pass up. A few years ago, I was unloading into a friend's house for a rehearsal and accepted "help", which was a big mistake. I'm convinced as a vibes player, you should…

Here's a simple melody over a chorus of rhythm changes. Take it at a slow tempo. Rhythm changes can be challenging to play over; this etude is meant to strike up a good balance between playing melodically, and catching some of the fast…

Stella by Starlight is one of those gems that never gets old, at least for me. The changes are so interesting to play over, even after playing the tunes on probably hundreds of gigs! Here is a slightly different take on it, as played by…

Voicing of the Day (VOD) - Sharp 9 Voicing
tonymiceli
Content type: Video Upload
Chinese translation for Chinese students 屬七和弦升九音的和聲配置： 以F7#9為例，演奏3, 5, b7, #9，分別是A, C, Eb, G#（Ab） 你也可以看成是Ab大三和弦加上A為低音。 要熟記這個和聲配置，就是要轉到12個調裡。 並且切記，如果真的要熟悉而且會演奏時反應很快的就能夠應用上，一定要放到ii-V-i裡面練習。

Voicing of the Day (VOD) - Cool Minor Voicing

Content type: Video Upload
Chinese translation for Chinese students 今天要講的是小調和弦（minor chord）的和弦配置（voicing）。 以A minor 和絃為例，這個和聲配置是3, 7, 9, 11音組成。也就是C, E, B, D。 轉到不同調試試看。 練習一個新的和聲配置時，最好要放到ii-V-i的和絃進行裡面練習，效果最好。 也可以移動這個最高音的音，也會產生一個很漂亮的聲音線條。
