Vibraphone

With Horace Silver

"Fortune Smiles" - one of my favorite songs from Keith Jarrett. I'm a huge fan of his playing and compositions. This song was recorded on one of my favorite recordings released in 1971 and titled "Gary Burton and Keith Jarrett"

OMG! How about taking this setup for a 50 dollar gig! Maybe these guys are famous?

Well, I'd rather play the vibes and play tunes, but I'm sure lots of people like there music!

So don't complain the next time you have to change your cord!!!

He brings out the Tinfoil about 5 minutes in. He's also into effects. He did not need to set up the accidentals :-).

He talks about his equipment at the end.

Per the other post about noise... this is what a functioning, quiet one looks like.

We played a blues and passed the choruses around the room. Our goal was to not mess up the form or the time. We did pretty good. Just a couple of glitches!!!

Solo Vibraphone on "Angel Eyes" - I worked on solo playing a lot with Gary Burton when I was a studying with him in the 70s at Berklee. The lessons with Gary were mind opening and very challenging. I was very fortunate to be there at the school in the 70s studying with Gary and as well as so many other great teachers including Alan Dawson. Entering as a drummer and then switching to vibes (and piano) was a very good move for me. The lessons with Gary were split with vibes and piano. I'm still working at it after all these years and still love it.
