Hey, I've been going through a bunch of the older TOTM's...Does anyone know how to I view each entry/tune on list chronologically? Within a tune, entries are alphabetical. Is there a sorting option that I'm missing? Thanks, D

I've decided to move the Philly workshop to my home. I'm planning a great week from July 10-14 (I can even do something on the 9th If people come in early) It's really getting impossible to do independent workshops at Universities unless…

SO, I think this may be more of what Tony was looking for here... I chose the AKG 414B as a comparison because it is a mic I get put on me a lot in studios that don't really record vibes a lot. It's a great mic, but you can decide if you…

So, in the first episode, I used two mics I considered substantially different. Tony and I discussed it a bit and we agree... as different as they are, there are a lot more similarities than differences and the differences are not in…

I haven’t had time to look and see how much this has already been covered before I joined the site. I’m hoping there is something useful here. Patterns are great tools for improvising and technique building. Of course in jazz they don’t…

I work hard on our TOTM's. VW for me is a chance to teach and learn :-) Sorry about the pedal noise! Something was loose. And this of course was the best version! First take! The others I didn't like however they make NO noise!

Our discussion of cord for vibes started to branch off in soft vs. hard mallets. So I thought I'd open a discussion on that :-). I don't want to say too much about it but I'll start off with this. It's sad to go hear a vibe player and…

I LOVED Victor Feldman! He was a pretty busy studio player back in the day but ventured out and recorded some GREAT vibe recordings. I went to his house for lessons a few times and it was a huge treat but like the other masters I studied…

Back in the mid-1980's I started using pencil grips on my mallets. I was obsessed with finding and eliminating every little thing that contributed to extraneous noise on the vibraphone. As I became a little more known for my "Vibraphonics…

Check out this etude. Study the chords and write in the names with the alterations. Then play the etude. It will get you moving around and weaving through the changes. Work up the speed a little bit, and transposing in one other key will…

.... Don't Transcribe, don't play licks. IMHO Licks are vocabulary and phrases and words and sentences. I never understood this. Learn the vocabulary and then use what you want. Just my opinion! Thanks Tristan! Thanks Matthew!
