Working up a solo version of Horace Silver's Peace. We all need some peace right about now...
Comments welcome - work in progress.
Comment if you want me to write out the chord melody and upload it!
As promised, I am trying to provide information on how we created our first DIY bar set.
Since I don't really understand how blogging works here, I put all the content on my private website (I can handle it more easily) and link to it.…
How are you guys getting through all this?
I hope you got some money for food and living. The idea of fellow vibe players struggling for simple things kills me.
I am definitely going nuts. Fear, unknown, WTF! All that.
I do know this,…
Hey guys,
Here's the information for the online workshop.
We're doing it on a program called Zoom. Zoom is a very easy program to use. Just click the link and download the app and you should be able to figure it out.
We'll start at 12:00…
Since I have to stay home except for a bit of shopping and walks around the beautiful park in my neighborhood I decided to record something each day of Corona house arrest. I'm starting today. This is a blues with the left hand doing "four…
This is a first quick & dirty recording with our first self made bar set. This was part of a thesis work of a mechanical engineering student (no musician).

“Tea For Two” - an impromptu run through tonight of this classic that I haven’t played for years. Helps maybe a little bit playing music for a brief respite of thinking what’s going on in the world right now. Thoughts and hope for everyone…
I made this for my student Nathan, but I'd love to see who else wants to do this.
I play All Blues with an Aebersold recording. You play the melody and at the end. I solo first. You comp for me and I comp for you. Comp in the lower octave…
Stuck and home and starting writing lines over Bluesette. Heres the first A. If this interests folks I'll add more and maybe explain some of the thinking behind the lines. PDF attached. I played it mostly right.
Sorry for the clanky vibes…
“Four” - working on the left hand today. This is a work in progress. Trying to keep busy and productive. If I can be of any help with any vibraphone related questions feel free to ask. I have more time on my hands. :) As with most of all…
Hi everyone! Here is an etude that I wrote inspired by part one of the Keith Jarrett Koln Concert. I've been using this as a fun way to work on coordination and dynamics between the 4 mallets. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you all…
You're assignment is to learn the melody.
Post a comment here that says you know it, or post a video of you playing simply the melody. Do this before you go on to lesson two.
I added the lead sheet below.
