This is a new group I'm part of. I think it's very cool. A unique instrumentation and all the string players are really top notch! 

We recently played at the Wells Rapp Center For Mallet Research. (AN AMAZING PLACE THAT YOU MUST VISIT!) 

🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 7

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been working with phrases drawn from Milt Jackson’s vocabulary, building full choruses from short melodic ideas.

This week, we continue that approach—but with a specific focus:

👉 Using augmented triads over dominant chords

You’ll notice that certain moments in the chorus highlight the sound of the augmented triad (1–3–#5), giving the lines a bit more tension and forward motion.

1. make it sound like the tune! Does mine sound like the tune?
2. Lots of chord tones
3. Memorize my version and follow it with yours and post it.

Autumn Leaves Quarter Note Solo, All Octaves, From Memory

Look at this? It's Eb maj 7 rootless. 

1. hit the root and the first closed position then go up the scale one note back and down one note.
2. first position open, up one down one
3. second position closed then open up and down 1
4. third position same
5. fourth position same

Can you figure out how to do the same thing in other keys? 

Any questions? 

I see some small mistakes but over all this is very good! If you are new to the vibraphone you should go through it.
