My favorite etude! I keep saying that about other ones, but I think this one’s actually my favorite.
Have been working on this tune for a few weeks and its a transcription of the sax and trumpet solos, managed to nail most of it except two bars of Charlie's solo where its a lot of notes at a very fast speed so forgive my attempt even though I put a lot of hours into this section in particular. I am playing drums as well just added a bass line. Anyway hope you like it and as always comments welcome.
At one of the weekly vibe hangs I demonstrated my MIDI Vibes. Becky was curious about using an Arpeggiator. Mac MainStage 3 has a bunch of Arpeggiator instruments so I decided to try out a couple and do some free improv with them.
Enjoy,
Barry
About 5 years ago I MIDI-fied my vibes as a proof-of-concept. I didn't use it much so I dismantled it. https://www.vibesworkshop.com/video-upload/midi-vibes-project/barryk/12…

6 + 4 African Bell Perspectives
This video explores a contemporary treatment of a bell pattern from the country of Benin in West Africa. These drumset examples are adapted to playing the balafon, but can be applied to any instrument. The 2-bar pattern in 12/8 is built with the first bar in a “6” feel and the second in “4.” The alternation of 6 and 4 creates a profound shift in perspective as it is played by the musician and heard by the listener.

Hello Everyone!
I had some time so I decided to make a couple of audio lessons on triads, which have been the focus of my practicing lately! After years of practicing seventh chords, 9th chords, 11th chords, and 13th chords, I've come to appreciate what triads can do.
