Hey Houston dudes!

I'm looking forward to coming to your school in a couple weeks. Here is a bunch of stuff for you to check out.

Behns beginners 8 part series
Check out Behn's 8 part beginner series. He did this with Tyler Blanter. Behn and Tyler are great players!

Check out this great tune written by Christos and performed at the 'Zeltsman Marimba Festival' (ZMF) 2013 in Arcata, CA.
The tune is written for 2 marimbas and one vibraphone and it's called Rodinia.
Enjoy

OK you have to be a subscriber.

You have to agree to do one VW lesson a month for 3 months and you have to post your work on the site. Maybe tell us if it helped you?

First 3 people that promise to do 1 lesson a month minimum for 3 months.

I'm giving away 3 copies.

So, there's this lick I'm struggling with -- see the attached PDF and mp3 (from midi). I want it to go at about quarter note equal 160 (the speed of the midi), but I'm not even close, maybe about quarter note equal 100-120. Any suggestions beside repeat until I get it or die of frustration? (there has been a lot of this so far :-)).

Hi Everyone,
My February show will reflect the World Vibes Congress by playing almost all of the professional players who were there and made such invaluable contributions.
The only exception is Ed Smith -- I don't yet have any of his recordings but am expecting them in time for the March program.
I will talk a bit about the conference and what a treasure the jam turned out to be.
The first hour will include these (and others):
"New Shores" by Stefan Bauer
"Summertime" with Gary Burton (when he was only 21) and Stan Getz
"The Dog Days" Behn Gillece

The reason I am saying that Tony Miceli is so great is that he managed to gather all the vibraphone players in this congress. At first I thought this never could happen and it did because deep inside us we all trust Tony and we think that he is a great player and person. Ofcorse everybody has its own purposes when doing something but at the bottom level no one would show to this meeting if they didn't trust him. I don't know how was the congress since I am still in Greece but one thing I know is that this was a huge event and we are all lucky to know him.

Hi everyone!
I am looking for sites to create my own website since it's very important nowadays! I know that there are some that gives you domain and host like image, go daddy, webhost and others. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
Dimitris

It's a new year, and after being so inspired at WVC, I want to make a resolution.

Every morning, I spend time exercising before heading to work. I only have a few minutes so it's never a full workout, just some pushups or jumping jacks to start the day. I've been doing this awhile and it's a great habit, so now I want to do the same with music. I can certainly afford to wake up a couple minutes earlier to make time for vibes.

Here's a version of All The Things You Are with bassist Mark Carlsen and I. We play a lot of gigs together around Boston. I have to say that duo playing is probably one of my favorite formats. The listening and interaction is so clear and focused. Anyways, if anyone is in the Boston area, we are playing this Saturday, 1/11, at Li's in Haverhill. MA starting at 6:30.
