This is a mallet dampening etude I wrote for the 2nd online vibes boot camp. This is the first time I ever used mallet dampening, so I tried to use it in as many ways as I could. Hope you all enjoy!

Hi Vibes Workshop! It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I would share this John Coltrane solo I have been working on with you all. I attached a pdf if anyone is interested in checking it out - I think there are so many brilliant things about this solo, not to mention it is just a fun way to practice technique and feel with a record!
"Never Never Land" from Peter Pan - Fun exploring on this great song with music by Jule Styne and lyrics from Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Such a hip song with wonderful chord changes and a memorable melody and lyrics.
"How Deep Is The Ocean" - One of my favorite standards by the great composer Irving Berlin.
This is another entry in my ongoing effort to write, arrange, and play solo vibraphone. The Pop Up Classes focused on single tunes have been a great opportunity to develop my approach. I recorded this a week ago after the first class on "Bluesette". I think I can play it a little better now, but I haven't had a chance to record again.
Maestro Ennio Morricone’s “Gabriele’s Oboe” from the movie “The Mission”. A gorgeous piece of music and beautiful movie theme. He left us with such an impressive legacy of music that will continue on.
Thank you Maestro Ennio Morricone for your beautiful music. RIP.
"What The World Needs Now" - from a social distancing session yesterday for July 4th. Nice playing and hang. Nice to be able to play with people.
