Someday My Prince Will Come” with Jan de Haas and Piet Verbist. One of the songs that was taped during my clinic presentation on November 7th at the Antwerp music conservatory. I had a great time presenting classes for the vibraphone and improvisation in Antwerp and also at the conservatory in The Hague. My thanks and appreciation to Koen Wilmaers and Carlo Willems at the Antwerp conservatory and Miro Herak at the conservatory in The Hague. Also thanks to Vic Firth and Yamaha.

Dave Samuels' Archive Update: Happy to report that Berklee College of Music will be archiving all of Dave Samuels’ music collection which includes studio and live recordings (Reel to Reels, Dats, CDs), videos, music educational material as well as all of his compositions and arrangements from his recordings as a leader and sideman. The material spans his entire career as a musician and educator. Dave was very organized with his material and it seems that he saved everything including compositions and recordings that other musicians gave him.

hey! This is Florian, Marie's son. I know it's been a long time since she last came on this website. I'm always giving her "shit" to play again but she doesn't ! please help me !
So i decided to play this iconic jazz song by myself. I play guitar for now maybe 8 years and try the vibraphone.
Hope you like it.

Hey my vibes community! I wanted to re-share this project that I'm working on that I think would be of special interest of mallet players

You can go do www.igg.me/at/cali2cali OR www.danvibes.com to donate, learn more, and/ or share!

What we're doing:
Building a home recording studio in Cali, Colombia to make professional recording more accessible to communities that deserve to be heard.

This is an AWESOME piece. Good fodder for advanced geography/space sharing between the hands on vibraphone. Also stabilizing repeated tones while surrounding tones change, and avoiding anticipatory "static" in the motion (ie. a hand tries to leave early and you miss a note).

I struggle when I practice! It sucks striving for perfection and never achieving it. I guess I just look for better. However I think the end goal is perfection. It is a nice goal that none of us will ever reach, but some seem to get pretty close.

I realize how much of this is about focus. That's at least 95% of the battle.

Hi all,

Here is an original song from the album with thanks to Gary Burton for the inspiration and for blazing the trail for us.

Cheers Kym

Here's a short clip of me playing the 13th etude for pedaling from David Friedman's method book. Feedback welcome.

Experimenting on the marimba today with Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight".
