Someone recently commented on something about Terry Gibbs firing musicians that upstaged him. It was not done maliciously at all, but Terry wanted to set the record straight! Here's our phone call rough and unedited.
Here is the melody of "Alone Together" harmonized in drop 2 voicings. I have included the .pdf of what I am playing (minus my performance mistakes <:)-
When trying to play an entire melody in drop 2, range is an issue on the vibes. I…
Thought I would post this I saw it at the DW stand. This is a reminder of a truly great artist Jim Chapin whom every drummer should know and whom I had the great pleasure of meeting. He was an amazing individual he could play either way…
Hey here I am playing the solo form the Astor Piazzolla´s tune "Vibraphonissimo" played by Gary Burton. I hope you like it and expect your comments.

We just heard Alice Mc Leod-Coltrane on some of Terry Gibbs special tracks here. I was just wondering... We've heard that she, among piano, harp, organ, also played the vibes... But there are nearly no information on that part of her…

Today was awesome!!! After about 4 hours of sleep and a huge breakfast I hit the road for Philly. With only two wrong turns I was about 5 minutes late.
We took the hour trip down to Delaware University (where the next workshop is going to…
This is for Barry! Here's a slow mo' of 4 in 1 with a really nice stick drop at the end. (Inside joke for long time, vibesworkshop members).
Maybe this will be of some help with the etude.
I left the sticks after the throw up there for all…
Stéphane was a subscriber online here for a long time. He went on to focus on the hand drums, but he's a really good vibe player. Check him out. We miss him (known as Tifoo on the site)
Practicing tunes in other keys is a great exercise. Recently Tony and I had a short discussion on the benefits of transposing. It reminded me of "Comrade Conrad", a beautiful Bill Evans tune that actually moves up a 5th to a new key every…
I was inspired by Carla Jenkins' really pretty version of "This Masquerade", and decided to make it my practice tune for the night. I didn't have the melody written out, so I was doing it by memory/ear. Need to work on that part.
I'll…
