Vibraphone

I did a little interview recently for the radio, about Warren Wolf's new album 'Convergence'. It's a really nice record, full of humour and personality, and features a stellar band (Christian McBride, John Scofield, Brad Mehldau and Jeff Tain Watts), so check it out if you haven't heard it already.

My interview is right at the end of the programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07jxrc0

Hi vibe friends,

Here's a version of Scrapple vibists might not be familiar with. I think Jim really shows how far you can stretch these bebop tunes. This record also more or less changed jazz guitar playing forever.

-Tristan

Scrapple is cool tune mainly because it's a variation of rhythm changes. Instead of I VI II V for the first 4 bars, it's ii V and then the rest of rhythm changes.

Here are my assignments.

1. 2 line studies and two chord studies. Do one of each (you pick).
2. Play the melody in at least 2 keys (it's a great ii V study!) Fill in the chords on the studies.
3. Play the tune solo, take a chorus, comp for a chorus and then take the tune out.
