Vibraphone

Hello everyone, if anyone is interested in writing an article for the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes, please contact me for details. It can be on any topic related to the vibraphone and marimba like technique, improv concepts, exercises/etudes, etc. You can contact me via my Berklee email address: esaindon@berklee.edu

Thanks. Ed

I'm reading Marc Levin's book on theory and then also his one on voicings. He's a pretty hip cat! Here's a quote from his book:

Scales are the alphabet, not poetry, of music. You need to know the alphabet, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and so on before you can write words, sentences, and ultimately poetry.

My guitarist friend Bernard and I can't wait for April 17th: we are to go and see Gary play in Paris! Today for my b-day, Bernard sent me this youtube link as a gift! I said: that's perfect!!

So I'm sharing it with you: love it! Man they are in Buenos Aires, a place where you surely can't be wrong with Tango. Gary starts alone, but everything is already there! Even before the "traditional" musicians enter: wow!! And just listen to the public's reaction: no mistake!! ;-)

Enjoy! - M
