Hello everyone.
I live in Oklahoma City and am sad to say that there are NO vibraphone players, or teachers that I know of. I gig around in OKC with a small quartet of Vibes, Drums, Bass, and Trumpet. My dream has been to study with…
Hey Tony,
This is my posting of the second version of the Stella Duet. I have a bunch of different recordings of both of them and think this is the best of the 2nd one. I tried to keep everything in the solo simple like we were talking…
So here's another video of my mentor, Steve Giordano. Again listen to him play. I think you can imagine playing most of this on the vibes. For me, this is where the solo playing comes from. We can learn a lot from the guitar.

You've been very gracious to share so much about your life in music. I am hoping you might share a bit about two of your more unusual recordings, "Tennessee Firebird" and "Time Machine." I have always been fond of both. How did you collect…
Here's the mini workshop from after the concert we did the other night. Steve talks about bass lines, playing without a bass player and learning tunes.
This in an ebay listing for a 1920s Deagan Vibra-Harp. It was designed to be attached to an organ and is very different than today's instruments. The listing contains a lot of interesting information and many photos. It's worth a look.…
The lesson demonstrates some comping patterns and ideas to get you started on playing in a ChaCha groove. All the patterns are over a ii-V7 vamp (Amin7-D7). You could use these patterns over songs like Oye Como Va and Soul Sauce.
Hey everyone... it's been a while since I've been on the site. Trying to get back into the swing of things here and to catch up on all the stuff of missed.
This isn't a vibes video, but it is a great video of a bunch of extremely talented…

Academic but still might be interesting to anyone studying Giant Steps.
Doc Chittum is a very loved faculty member at Uarts. He does a lecture each year where he ties Giant Steps all the way back to Mozart. The lecture is pretty…

This is a thrown together duo intro for my university septet. Its a bit rough around the edges, but I thought it came out nicely for our first performance together. Sorry about the music stands everywhere!

Man I just read Dana's blog. he's right, the opportunity is here, we should ALL be blogging. Well no should's or shouldn'ts as my wife would say. But blogging would help the learning process here.
I wish the pros would blog more often.…
Angelo is my hero. Check him out, 91 and he has a STEADY gig in an italian restaurant.
He sent me an email with his story. Check him out:
"Hi, Tony! I've been playing vibes ever since the day when Deagan put their first "Vibraharp" on the…
Here's a Quick & Dirty recording from a gig at a supermarket. We are playing "Juliet-style", up on a balcony above the people as they shop below. I had a substitute bass player that day so we didn't play any of my originals.
