Definitely worthy of the chops festival. This is a very hard etude I wrote and worked on. I couldn't play it now, but here's the video where I once upon a time played it.

Ok guys!!

I´ve posted an original composition by me about the last CD recorded the Marosa Jazz Project and I like share w/ all you the audio track we recorded and the lead sheet for you can read it while you are listening it. What I can to say?? If would be a great honour for me if you play that in an gig, performance... and after post it.

Hello vibers,

For me the voicings and comping is the most hard and difficult part of my study of vibraphone. It's for that reason that I try every time to explore new ways to look to it to convert the comping playing as fluent as playing lines.

I've attached an etdue and an mp3 of the etude. You should be able to here what type of tune it is and figure out what the chords are. This is an advanced lesson, so an advanced player should be able to do that.

With that being said, if you need help ask!

I wrote this in 2006. I don't remember writing it and when I read it, it felt like I was reading it for the first time. But it describes my thoughts failry well, so I'll post it. I found a ton of stuff from 2006. I wasn't sure if I wrote it, but there were a lot of mispelled words. so it HAS to be me!

An essay on comping

I feel there are plenty of better compers out there than me. I would never presume I’m the best at anything in music. I’ve met too many amazing people. I think all we do is try to keep climbing the ladder, learn more, play more and so on.

There was one part where I did a progression, and I said Cm7, but meant Cmaj7! You may not notice, but if you do, now you know what I meant!

Here's a short clip of Blue in Green that I recorded on an M55 from 1968 that I picked up last year. It still needs some tweaking here and there with the dampening system, but it's a lot better than what it was. It was in pretty bad shape when I got it. The bars from this time period were beautiful. They speak so quickly and sound great.
