Pretty cool original composition by the vibist from Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble.
This tune (Birk's Works by Dizzy Gillespie) was posted on YouTube in June but originally video taped last year 2007.

I had a fellow few vibes enthusiasts over recently, during which I noticed how geeky we all are. I thought that I would post some photographs that were taken that day. Please don't blast me for posting a photograph of myself. I thought it brought out my best features.
I think it's ok for every young musician to rebel against those who came before if they choose. The discussion about lines and then John's post about challenges of the instrument got me thinking.
I'm curious to know what your most challenging aspect of playing the vibes is or has been. I'd like to know from both the "pros" and the "up and coming Pros". This should be very unique to each individual. We all have different views on how we want to sound (that's one unique view) and we are all gifted with unique talents and... well... deficiencies.
