(look out - hardcore vibe geek post ahead)
Today at the vibes coffeehouse someone asked "Where are all the other vibes players? Why aren't they here?"
There were 27 of us on the Zoom call today, but there are around 5000 vibesworkshop…
I'm trying to get organized here, but it's not easy for me. Since the quarantine I have been busier than I've ever been. Being online is more work than being offline!
But I would like to see which subscribers want to meet up once or…
HERE IS OUR FIRST TUNE MEET UP.
MAY 5TH 12 NOON EST - 16:00 UTC
THE TUNE IS GREEN DOLPHIN STREET
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony Miceli is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom…
Video footage of Cal is pretty rare, and I found this the other day on YouTube. This is the longer clip with three tunes on it - Cubana Chant, Poinciana, and Doxy.
The instrument is a Deagan 1000, and it's nice to see Hefner keepin' it…
You hear them? You like them? I think they are cool.
I got the tip from my student Oliver who is a piano player and moves voicings from the piano to the vibes. Oliver rocks!
Some Sunday night musical reflection on “America” with some reharmonization, modulation and constant structure chords. If anyone would like the lead sheet just let me know.
Tony is challenging me to do a 3 tune mini concert every week for the next few weeks. This week I am working on Upper Manhattan Medical Group, Alice in Wonderland, and All of You. I have been thinking about how to widen my range when…
Preparing for my masterclass at Boston Conservatory at Berklee called ‘e-Vibes & Vibes’, showing how I combine a Musser vibraphone with the Pearl malletstation.
Scroll through the wall on this page. There are some great solo performances on this page of great players.

Here are some exercises and info I gave a student on Solar.
WANDERING SCALES - I think it's a good exercise to be able to move from scale to scale from wherever you are. Here's one chorus of that.
SOLO TO TRANSCRIBE - Transcribe it!…
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" - Vibes and Strings. Recorded the string track and then played vibes over that. The strings switched from left to right half way past the clip which was not intentional. I wish I had real live strings but I can…
I've been working on the first four chords of "Fine and Dandy" and tonight I decided to jam on them in Bb. I've also been learning about improving my audio quality for recordings and learning how to pair audio and video with iMovie. So...…
I am curious how many players put bass in the right channel vs. the left channel. How many don't care either way. Having played keyboard forever, I feel bass should go on the left, but I hear many (most) other vibes panned the other way…
Sambinary
This video examines an original samba pattern for drum set (and mallet instruments) that explores four metric perspectives and two approaches for the beat (bass drum).
“Sambinary” (samba+binary) began as an exercise for a class…
I had a lot of fun doing this.
Sometimes I think I like real corny stuff and it doesn't appeal to anyone. But F it, that's the way it is.
This is one of my all time favorite songs and I loved playing it and making this video.
After 6 hours of lecturing, because of Corona only into a computer, I just had to do something else. Since I don't have a looper, I recorded all tracks live to audacity. Later I realized that you could have copied, but ...
It's not precise…
Alexey just posted this quarantine video. Exeptional playing and beautiful music. It's the first time i see a vibraphonist really playing 5 mallets, that is, doing something really musical. Enjoy !
This is one song from the full concert that can be accessed on YouTube. I didn't know that Kenny Wolleson played vibes, but I like the way that he places the vibes into the ensemble. The singer is from Argentina and her name is Sofia Rei…
