So I was checking out some Joe Locke videos online and realized that I don't know what makes his tone sound so different than vibes that I am used to hearing. I originally thought that it was because he uses pickups, but it's not the case…
Check out Christos Rafalides solo on Harmony Ensemble of NY performing Henry's Mancini's "Soft Sound" from "Peter Gunn"! It's very hard to say anything in just one minute of solo!!!!

This is from a concert I did a few years back with my mridangam teacher. It was an honor to be asked back as a featured soloist with his Carnatic (South Indian) percussion ensemble at UNT.
I am using my effect pedals and a controller to…
This is one of Joe Henderson's most popular tunes. During the first 8 bars try keeping the pedal down to sustain the long A- and C- chords. Use mallet dampening to keep the busy melody part as clean and distinct as possible.
Sending a shout out to all vibes players who live in the New York Metro area. I'm having a CD release show for my new album on June 5th and would like to offer a free CD to anyone from the site who can make it. Just mention that you heard…
Hi All-
What are the best cases/bags being made for Musser vibraphones these days? I have the original cases they made for the M48, but I think my M48 is too old and rickety to tour with. My m46 is younger, but I currently have no cases…
Hi Folks- Banda Magda (www.bandamagda.com) is playing the Regatta Bar this Tues, June 3rd. The vibes player, Mika Mimura, would love it if we could avoid bringing vibes up, so if anyone felt like seeing the show and bringing some with…
I play vibes in a quartet with guitar, bass, and drums. I have two sets of Audix microphones. F10's and F15's. Was wondering which pair would be better for live performances. Any help greatly appreciated.
Recently I entered a poetry contest asking what one thing I would change in the world. Here's my entry; I think you'll all appreciate it!

Great bunch of students at the clinic. The clinic took place at the Accademia Del Suono in Milan. The school is located in a neighborhood of Milan with a very nice facility that includes a state of the art recording studio. The school's…
Aloha, This February I had the opportunity to play in Honolulu, HI. While i was there i was exposed to the great vibist Arthur Lyman. We also were very fortunate to meet and talk to his drummer Harold Chang, whom was his drummer for 30…
I taught Dennis a little bit. He's an amazing musician. Perfect pitch, total recall. He's really got the whole package. I taught while he was at Curtis Institute of Music.
Listen to him play. Top notch.
Ok, my final pic for the day, I promise! This was just too funny to pass up. A few years ago, I was unloading into a friend's house for a rehearsal and accepted "help", which was a big mistake.
I'm convinced as a vibes player, you should…
Here's a simple melody over a chorus of rhythm changes. Take it at a slow tempo. Rhythm changes can be challenging to play over; this etude is meant to strike up a good balance between playing melodically, and catching some of the fast…
Stella by Starlight is one of those gems that never gets old, at least for me. The changes are so interesting to play over, even after playing the tunes on probably hundreds of gigs! Here is a slightly different take on it, as played by…
Chinese translation for Chinese students
屬七和弦升九音的和聲配置：
以F7#9為例，演奏3, 5, b7, #9，分別是A, C, Eb, G#（Ab）
你也可以看成是Ab大三和弦加上A為低音。
要熟記這個和聲配置，就是要轉到12個調裡。
並且切記，如果真的要熟悉而且會演奏時反應很快的就能夠應用上，一定要放到ii-V-i裡面練習。
