The Jason Marsalis posting touched on this and brought me back to thinking about it; I have been working on this addition to the Theory section of my website for a few months, trying to get my head around it... typically for me, it's too long and not completely clear yet. But, I thought I would put it out here for comment to see if I can clean it up a bit..

The prior part it refers to is both posted here on VW in its original form and in its new, improved form (Thanks to all who commented) on my site. http://www.randysutin.com/subpage.html

Aesthetics geeks enjoy!!

When I stumbled upon this video today, I personally was drawn into it. I imagine it will have mixed reactions here on the site. I guess the guy is in a Mozart type of vibe. Ok, cool.

Listen to this in regards to comping and playing changes on the vibes. I say that because that's what happened to me while I was listening to it. There are sections where I think the voice leading is so smooth and the question and answer lines are really beautiful.

I found a study in listening to this, and besides the guy writes a nice melody even if it's too this or that.

You will laugh at this. So take a break from practicing.

So I've discovered, Gary Burton and Joe Locke are both performing on the same night, in London! What kind of bad planning was that?! And to make it infinitely worse, my college have their concert on that night!! Urgh, so irritating! Wish I could go and see both those guys!

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to get things organized for the workshop in Holland. There are a few things that are important right now for those of you that are (thinking of) coming to Holland in february.

First of all, don't book a hotel just yet. I'm gonna try to get a group discount, so I hope to save you all some bucks.

In order for me to keep things clear I'll need some information from everyone that is coming and also from everyone who is still thinking about coming.

So for all of you guys that are (probably) coming I'll need the following info:

Inspired by Ted Wolff!

After David's presentation of Michael Schiefel, here comes Giulio Carmasi, an amazing multi-instrumentiste, redoing by his own the Brecker Brother's Slick Stuff... with great talent, a little vibes, passion... and humor! :o)
Enjoy!

PS: many more on his Youtube channel!
PPS: thanks to vibist Franck Tortiller for the link! ;-)

I am very thankful that Tony Miceli invited me to join the VW and seeing what a great "tool" that it is for all members to have access to answers for their vibraphone category of instrument problems.

OK, so this isn't vibes related, but it's so nice to see people having fun with music :-).

I usually hate movies about music -- everthing's so serious. If they're about classical music, the main character has to have some debilitating emotional condition that he's trying to exorcise through his music. If they're about jazz or rock, the main character has to be a drug addict. Nobody has fun!
