Here's a video of Steve Hobbs. He's a vibe player from I think Virginia, or one of the Carolina's. He plays great. Check him out.
This was an evening of improvisation and spontaneous invention. I'm sure everyone will recognize this piece,
Hi vibes lovers today i'll talk about John Coltrane one of the most innovative musician in modern jazz:
i'll explain you the theory behind his harmonic world starting from one of his greatest tune called Giant Steps.
Softly As In A Morning Sunrise - working out some lines and improv concepts this morning on this classic song.
Today I showed up at AJR Metal Works parking lot (Dallas) for an impromptu concert to demonstrate and play a couple pieces for the great employees who helped machine parts for my two vibraphones - USA Vibe and Antarctic Vibe. This (obviously) is my USA vibe. At one of many visits to have parts made, I often heard that the employees rarely get to see the finished product and enjoy the fruits of their labor. So, I decided that when this vibe is ready to play, I'd drop in on them.
After viewing the video, check out the attached PDF. See where you can apply this great sound to the study tune I created. Post your results by Friday morning and I will check in :)
This is the final upgrade of this year for this vibe. I'm heading out for another 8 to 9 month deployment to Antarctica but when I return (in Mid-July, 2018), I'll put the final toughes on this instrument and make 5 to 10 frames that will accommodate Musser Bars and Resonators for sale to a select few people. This is the "Silent Wide-pedal, Hinge" upgrade. It's awesome.
