Vibraphone

Exploring on solo vibraphone with a rubato version of Keith Jarrett's Coral. Focusing on motives, dampening and four mallet techniques.

Finally got some videos edited from a show I did a while back, here in NYC with Kevin Hays (piano), Michael Blanco (bass), and Mark Ferber (drums)
This is a re-imagining of Coltrane's "26-2"...
Hope you all dig it!

You guys inspired me to work on "It's You Or
No One"...
I haven't shed it yet, but here's my first pass
playing along with Aebersold!
I think those guys might speed up a little bit during
this take! :-D

(Tony, I'm still trying to flatten that 2 mallet out! Getting
better, but still a work in progress)

Jamming with Behn!

I am doing a presentation about the vibraphone in latin jazz music as part of my thesis and I realized after talking to Tony today that there aren't so many vibes player in this music as there are in piano. I know Tito, Cal, Samuels and Christos but how come no really big names like Eddie Palmieri or Chucho Valdes.
What do you guys think about that?

I would appreciate all your comments because not often some is speaking about those stuff and it's part of my presentation.
Thank you all for your time!
