Well, I will have to give some sort of short workshop at the WVC (World Vibes Congress) this year. I was going to take notes and keep a diary on my computer and thought I would do it here. So I'll blog here and you guys can give me your two cents.
On Saturday we will link to all the videos for the second portion of the Day of Percussion on this page. Some players are playing live from 12-2. Others are submitting video which i will link to here.

Questions? Thoughts? What did you think? Let's talk about his book, here.
I have some things to say but I'll wait. How about some of you start. Gary will check in to answer questions and comment (I'm pretty sure).
Stefon Harris's TED talk "There are no mistakes on the bandstand" — playing through examples with his quartet, he shows a wrong note is only a mistake if you don't react to it. A listening lesson worth every improviser's time.
Dave Samuels plays and talks about how he got started in jazz, plus his Yamaha vibraphone setup. Short interview, worth a look.
Joe Locke's solo vibraphone version of his tune "Sword Of Whispers". Sheet music is available on his site if you want to study it.
🎵 Play A Great Standard In One Month – Body & Soul – Week 1
Welcome to the next installment of Play A Great Standard In One Month!
After spending two full series exploring blues and rhythm changes, we've moved into a new phase of our studies: applying those concepts to some of the most important standards in the jazz repertoire.
David Friedman demonstrates his lower-register voicings on "Darn that Dream". Worth close study of his four-mallet harmonic approach.
Here's the link for the practice club invite.
