So I've almost finished producing a CD, now what do I do?
I have no delusions of grandeur here, but I do want it to be "out there" and available. Our major goals in producing this CD were to expand our musical capabilities (already accomplished :-)), and maybe get more/better gigs.
A small taster of our performance at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin recently. Piano is a bit low as it was not mic'd but sound is ok. Enjoy

Hey vibesworkshop!
So...I haven't been getting very far with my transcription of Afro Blue because I don't have a vibraphone to play for ten days and haven't had anything to update my blog with. It's frustrating not having my instrument...I feel incomplete. I am grateful to have access to a piano at work though and have been staying late to play (and then freezing in the dark waiting for the late bus home each night!), but man I miss my vibes. Just ten days, and I'm going crazy!!!
Playing in a quintet with a piano player. I know it's kind of tough to stay out of each others way when comping, any tips? Thanks for all the help!
Hello everyone, here's a videoclip from a clinic on improvisation that I presented at Berklee (last summer) for the Summer Program faculty. The topics covered Tension Resolution, Four Note Groupings and Major 7th #5 Superimposition. The clip features David Clark on bass and myself on piano playing written out solos (that can be viewed/downloaded from here: http://allthingsvibraphone.blogspot.com/2011/07/improv-concepts-by-ed-s…) based on each of those specific improv concepts.
My student Sangwon is doing a paper comparing Milt to Gary and he's starting off with the history of the vibraphone.
I know there's stuff up here about the history. Anyone know where some is? Anyone know of any other links?
@Sangwon - start with this link: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/search/node/history%20of%20the%20vibraphone
Here we go. Ok. Just in Time is a VERY cool tune for many reasons. I'll save those for my lessons which will come soon.
