Hi vibes lovers today i'll talk about how to study tunes.
I'll also explain what is my approach in arranging my own version of a jazz standard: "Very early"

Thanks a lot and remember to follow me on Facebook Istagram and Youtube!

After two years of retirement, Terry Gibbs performed with a new version of his Dream Band in May, 2016 and shows that he hasn't lost a step despite being 91 years old at the time. He swings through a Steve Allen composition, "Playing the Field", followed by a favorite, "What's New", where his solo is a master class in playing a ballad.

For those interested, Anthony Smith's excellent book, Masters of the Vibes, devotes an important chapter to Terry, who recounts the many trials and tribulations of a jazz master through many decades of playing.

Hey Everyone,

I humbly post this one, I am pretty sure it should be twice as fast as this, I'm still working it up.

The video does not show the "best vibraphone ever", but it presents a collection of design ideas for vibraphone frames realized as a prototype. Not all ideas are mine.
I wanted to design a "different" framework, which can be packed into a single suitcase, especially for air travel.
At the same time, I did not want to compromise on the sound quality. I wanted to eliminate known disadvantages of the typical table frames (pedal sounds, structural sound from bar to frame, rattling of resonant tubes, ...).

Solo vibe feature from my concert at the Theatre de la Licorne in Cannes, France which took place on October 8th, 2017. Special thanks to Andres Ramos (Professor and Head of Percussion - Cannes Conservatoire), Bergerault, Vic Firth, the city of Cannes and town of Mougins for sponsoring the clinic and concert presentation.

I just wanted to make a small suggestion related to the "Vocal Phrasing" video lessons. There are more to come and although I could have provided a pdf of what I played, I think it's important to transcribe what you think would be worth learning and analyzing. Your decision. It certainly might be of interest to transcribe the blues line that I played, notating the phrasing in your own way.
