Check out David's new great duo!

I keep checking out the Gyil players and that makes me want to work on my independence. I think we did an independence month a couple years ago. But what about a month of independence and ostinato work? I would love to bust my butt on all that for a month!

Thoughts?

HERE IS THE PLAYLIST FOR PART 2 OF OF THE DAY OF PERCUSSION FEATURING THE VIBRAPHONE.

Playlist for Part 2

I'm trying the hangouts. i think you can get to it here: Google Hangout Page

At 5pm the site will be open to all. From 5pm to 7pm

I'm in a weird phase with sticking. I'm really messing around with combinations. If I had time (and I just might) I want to transcribe a great Gil player. Those guys have amazing independence and I think we can learn a lot from them.

Watch Joe Pass. I say guitar players have basically the same problems as vibe players. We can play most of what guitar players play. Not exactly but they're a great source of learning for playing our instrument!

Lots of great things ahead!! First, if you missed Gloria’s vibe radio show last Sunday, there’s another broadcast as usual this Wednesday. Then have a look at our project of VDOP “Virtual Day Of Percussion” Feb. 15th, one whole day of vibes through the net; and be a part of it! Last this time… if you’re in Europe early next month, it’s now about time you register for our Winter European Vibes Workshop with Tony, David, Matthias, and even more teachers this year!!

Hey everyone,

the VDOP is another way to try and get the word out about the vibraphone. Official the day is called 'VIRTUAL DAY OF PERCUSSION: FEATURING THE VIBRAPHONE'.

The plan is to play and hang all day. I'm planning a google hangout throughout the day, live performances and videoed performances.

If you want to participate video yourself playing something well. Put up on youtube as UNLISTED (not private) and send me the link. I'll do all the rest.

I've asked some pros and long time members who are playing out and about to do something already, but all are welcome.
