Hi Everyone,

I'm putting on another outdoor concert tonight (8/7 @ 7 pm) with my combo (vibes/guitar/bass/drums). This time we'll be streaming it live on YouTube at the link below:

Hope you can check it out!

I've been playing through a bunch of standards improvising solo vibes arrangements everyday recently, and realized I might as well record it. Although lockdown sucked in a lot of ways, it has REALLY gotten my solo playing together. Before it might've taken me a week of shedding to get a solo recording of this quality without any huge hiccups. But now I can just sit down and play. It is so freeing! And now, if I play in a band, I just have so much more confidence since I know I don't really need them. Anyone else notice this?

Almost done with the whole book (which I have recorded and put up on this site and YouTube). Here is #22, one of the three jazz etudes.

I'm almost done recording the whole book, so here's one of the peskier ones I've been putting off recording.

'Whisper Magic' is a solo vibraphone piece that was composed a few years back and premiered at a duo concert with pianist Sergio Salvatore at New York's Carnegie Hall. Now I got the opportunity to work on a video for it and hope you enjoy it!

Comping for myself with the left hand is tough. I was trying to set a 120 bpm pace and couldn't get past 105 without running past brain speed and accumulating glitches.

John Keene I always say is our local historian.

He mentioned a vibe player I never heard about before.

So if John Mentions him, I always check him out.

He is great!

Hi all,

I want to get some more information about this vibraphone. A local drummer and vibes player has passed away here and his son wants to sell this vibraphone.

Does anybody know the rough age of it and have any idea about its value?

Im in Australia so prices will be be a bit different but it would give him a starting point.

Cheers Kym
