Happy to share a new video from a concert earlier this year playing duo with LA based pianist, Josh Nelson.
This beautiful standard sounds pretty good on vibes. Unlike many standards, the verse hasn't been abandoned and is still played as part of the arrangement. The melody lends itself well to octaves in the right hand.
Trio exceptional, quality of recording, belissima musica (IMHO) Enjoy !

Hey Vibeworkshop,
Im currently getting ready for my recital and one of the pieces that I am playing on my recital is a reduction, I'm currently working on, of the ever popular Strange Meadow Lark by Dave Brubeck. As I study the piece and boil down the transcription to an honest reduction I really started to see the genius of Brubeck's solo playing. So today I would like to break down all the techniques and ideas he used while playing the melody of the tune and how we can incorporate those ideas to other standards and ballads.
Original composition for vibraphone from my CD Vibe from New York
hi all,
hoping to get this tune refined for this summer as i have a couple of concerts.
thanks tony for writing a great and challenging piece!
hey,
i just was asked to arrange some pop tunes for percussion ensemble. i tried to figure out a good marimba comping for billy jean by m. jackson. since we got only vibes,marimba and xylo as voices i need to put as much in it as possible. so i stumbled on this cheap sounding but very hard to play independence thing (at least for me)....on piano this would be so easy :)
would you like to play it fast for 4 minutes also on different chords? :)

I just discovered this guy, I like his "balanço"...and his sound
Hi All,
Well, we went from hardly spring to full-bore summer. It's 90 degrees today (Saturday) and we expect the entire week to be that hot. If you're at the shore, that's the place to be!
