Vibraphone

Sometimes I wonder if I don't post too much ! Will you tell me if I don't bother you with all my posts ? .... lol
Actually I work a lot these days and just discovered good recording sofware ( Logic Pro from Apple - GREAT ! ).
So .... I am happy to share with you. Just that.

The dutch vibist René ten Cate did a couple of videos here at vanderPlas Baileo.
Here is the first one on the LW35 with the PRV60 vibe amp.

Hope you like it.

David and Peter came to our improv classes and took over for a bit before finishing up with this great tune Lover. Apologies for missing the beginning

Was trying to find some other ways to play the harmony on this common tune. I think I stole a lot from Bill Evans, I've been listening to him a lot lately.

Does anyone have any advice for publishing your original music? I've been doing a fair amount of composing lately for a CD project I'm working on, and I was wondering how the process works, is it worth doing, etc.

A little while ago Mike Pinto mentioned the benefits of publishing your tunes and I looked into the company he's with, but they seem to require more stature in the industry than I have. Does anyone have suggestions that will work for people with day jobs?

Any advice appreciated :-). Thanks in advance.

Here's a version of my good friend Mark Carlsen on bass and I playing Irving Berlin's How Deep Is The Ocean. This is a great tune to play. Some of my favorite versions would be Chick Corea's (a somewhat reharmonized version titled Now He Beats The Drum) on the album Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Of course, Bill Evans' version on the Exploration album from 1961 with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and Keith Jarrett's version (with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette) from his week at the Blue Note in 1994.

Are you sick of rhythm changes yet? Here's some relief if you are!

The last mini-lesson I posted on VW seemed to raise more questions than it solved... Ok that is cool, the idea is to explore many things and try to get better. We all need to do this, and it never stops as a player. It's a constant journey.

In the Coltrane lick I had been working on, I suggested a double sticking that some of you pointed out was actually a triple sticking. So I had to look into that, cause I wasn't even slowing it down enough to realize I was doing that, and upon further review, it is not something I would actually recommend doing.
