Hi All
Recently I discovered what was advertised as a mid sixties Musser Century Vibraphone available in Carson City Nevada
(about 300 long miles from my home in the Bay Area) I had to make a hard decision (if I was going to make that long drive just to check out this instrument.) What I remember of these old instruments is that the bars are beautifully rich, loud, smooth and somehow different then newer Musser bars. My instrument has been a mid 70's A440 Provibe that I have always loved the sound of and that has been my sound on the vibraphone for 20 years.

Anybody know of a good piece for vibraphone and orchestra? I have to perform it on Sept. 8th with the Bruckner Orchestra.

Happy Birthday Tony!!

Did I miss a post to congratulate Tony or am I really the first...?

Anyway, Happy birthday Tony!!! Sorry I haven't been around here but I have been busy and am preparing for our second child that is coming in about 6 weeks...

Hope you guys all have a great time this summer with all the workshops and I hope to catch up soon with all of you!

Keep on vibin'!!!

Cal Tjader is one of the vibraphone masters. His work can inspire others. I'm enjoying my little jump into his playing.

I'm working on a transcription of Cal Tjader's Tropicville from the album Latin Kick. If someone is familiar with this track could you take a look at my transcription. I think it's getting pretty close, but another set of eyes would be awesome. Cheers!

Things go in cycles for me. Let's just start with that.

Hi guys, I've just found this video. What an entertainer!

Here I provide a little insight into my teaching at the Musikhochschule Detmold. This is an excerpt of a concert at the Schlagzeughaus where I (left vibes) played with my student Andrey Doynikov (right vibes).
Have fun!
