Our next TOTM

Wow, that was my favorite TOTM. Thanks Behn for suggesting it! It feels so good to know that a bunch of you guys are really working on this stuff. It helps me a lot. It's weird taking money from people. I really worry that people are getting something out of this site. With the Satin Doll TOTM it made me feel really good! That's the most involvement yet.

The thing I've learned about this site is, that this site is like a couple cockroaches in your apartment. You might see 2 of them, but you can be sure that there's another 50 behind the wall. You dig?

Notice he doesn't look at the instrument that much!

Ed Mann had this on his youtube page.

Hey,

some of you may not know that I composed MUSIC for VIBRAPHONE & ORCHESTRA (beside my jazz works) as well as CHAMBER MUSIC with VIBRAPHONE...

For more infos please have a look at MY WEBSITE !!! (Please be a little patient while the site first time builds up - there are many audio files etc. on it...)

Thanks

Our next TOTM. Cool changes on this tune!

Ok... so the saga continues. For the last week or so, I have been using my modified damper bar that I rebuilt for my M48 on my newly aquired 1949 vintage M75 just because I prefer the way it plays and sounds to the standard Musser damper bar.

Kurt's thoughts on playing solo on the guitar definitely apply to the vibes. Especially some of the beginning comments.

Check out when he talks about how he works on voicings.

Imagine playing a standard like this. You know what I mean? The concept of this piece I think lends itself to solo playing. The two voices. Something we can do on the vibes just as easily as can be done on the guitar.
