Hi folks,
Just saw this video, and was wondering if perhaps Adrian Rollini was the first documented 4-mallet vibist? I was surprised by his technique. He was a multi-instrumentalist who also played sax, but I can't think of anyone else…
Yo guys. Just a heads up while we get some things together here!
Here is the registration for Delaware: https://crayola.hcs.udel.edu/conf/registration/music/registration.html
We are about to send about 1000 flyers out to schools around…
I've heard about this young player yesterday. He's from Martinique, and lives in the same town as me, Montpellier ! Won the first price of "Conservatoire de Perpignan" (nearby French town).
Enjoy !
hi,
inspired by ed saindon´s post of the 4 to the bar basin street blues, i tried to practice this with donna lee the last days. i recently restaurated an old portable low budget tape recorder with a built in micro which i used for this…
OK, this post was prompted by Ed's great version of Black Orpheus, and his thoughts about mallets...
This video was done a while ago, and I don't think I ever posted it on VW. Reason was, that I wasn't that crazy about the playing. It…

I personally LOVE to play in situations where there is no bass or drums. This would be a dream CD for me.…
Guys, here's one more from the session at the house. It's an old classic called Basin Street Blues. Billy sounds beautiful. It's a gas just to comp for him. I'm doing the four to the bar Freddie Green thing which works perfectly for this…
Keeping lines sounding really clean and clear is tough with vibes. It's easy to let notes ring together and just as easy to let notes ring together that shouldn't be. We have 3 tools to control ringing - the pedal, mallet/hand dampening,…
Oh man! I found this old vid with my friend Norbert on vibes. This is one of his tunes, though the vid focuses more here on the incredible flutist "Magic Malik". The band's name was "Groove Gang"... Not too wrong huh? Enjoy!
Hello. I'm a newbie with a grip question.
I'm planning to purchase my first set of vibes in a few days and begin learning to play.
I've got pretty small hands and, after decades working at a computer keyboard, I have developed a tendency…
This is Tony's Funk transcription that he posted. The reason you can't hear then background track is because it's going through my headset.

Hey guys, Billy was over the house to play some tunes. Here's a track from the session. I really like playing duo and enjoy the communication, clarity and spontaneity.
