Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together. Here is Take 3 out of three takes. This version has more of an emphasis on counterpoint and more active left hand accompaniment techniques.
Other Takes:
Take 1: This is a fairly brief two chorus version that includes right hand octaves along with left hand accompaniment and pedal point in the bridge of the 2nd chorus.
Check out my solo in All the things you are. Another great sunday today where we hang out with tony and other uarts students!
thanks

Hi All,
I welcome some new (to me) vibes players in the March show; Gary Shapiro (sorry it took me so long, Gary), Martin Fabricius, Ray Alexander, and Dave Hagedorn. Also, a musician who calls himself Mr. Ho but is in reality Brain O'Neill. Jay Hoggard opens with a soulful gospel tune that I just can't seem to get out of my head, "Worship God in Spirit, Truth and Love." What a beauty!
Jerry Tachoir is back with his new CD Stories, Dan Dean (g) and Tom Collier (v) play a Rolling Stones tune "What A Shame," Rusty Burge with a Monk tune, Hendrik Meurkens with Jobim and lots more.
Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together. Here is Take 2 out of three takes. This rendition is a little slower and starts out with more subtlety than Take 1. In this take, I'm experimenting with using a variety of articulations/note lengths as well as executing lines with four mallets.
Other Takes:
Take 1: This is a fairly brief two chorus version that includes right hand octaves along with left hand accompaniment and pedal point in the bridge of the 2nd chorus.
At least, it was new to me because I had totally forgotten about it.
First and foremost, thank you to Noel Okimoto. He has recently joined the site and I began corresponding with him about an instrument he has. The subject turned to the music he is involved with, which is Hawaiian music. I kind of remember some of it from back in the 60s on the radio; stuff like Don Ho actually made it on the air where I lived.
I had completely forgotten that it had a lot of vibes on it. Check it out, folks:
A great workshop today with Tony at the University of the Arts!!
Just found this on the web. Tony is looking so young....
Hello everyone,
Check out this review I accidentally found on the internet.
thanks
A brief rendition of the classic "Over The Rainbow" that utilizes harmony from Keith Jarrett's beautiful version. The arrangement features a modulation from Eb to F to Db. For a copy of the arrangement (melody and harmony), here's the link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113437494/Over-the-Rainbow-Reharm-Modulation
