This is a good example of a basic solo arrangement for vibes. Mallet dampening should be used on the first 16 bars of the melody to keep the notes from running together. You won’t be able to use the pedal because it will be down to allow the chord voicings to ring.

I spend quite a bit of time practicing and don't always feel as if I'm progressing as desired.
I'm also one of those guys that get completely immersed in something and burn out when air runs out. So I'm adding something new to my practice options.
The Story:
I like shooting sports. ALL shooting sports! Sporting clays, skeet, hand gun sports, 3D archery, rifle, carbine... I love all of it. Especially sporting clays because I like watching the clays turn to dust. Learning to shoot has a lot in common with playing jazz.
Always have the last word
Love this music!
QDV = Quick and Dirty Video. That is a quickly made video!
A rare and classic video performance by the late vibist, drummer and percussionist, the legendary Larry Bunker playing vibes with reedman, saxophonist and flutist Paul Horn's quintet.
"We Three Kings." Buon Natale!
Ok, here is my one minute gig on TV. Man, 1 minute is too short!! It all had to go fast, you know, it's TV... So I missed some F&%"n notes here and there.
And the soundcheck we did without the main speaker system, so we had some trouble playing in sync as you can hear. I think I had about 30 meters of cable between my vibes and the mixer.
Anyway hope you guys like it!
In the interview we talk about this site!! So that's good promotion for Vibesworkshop in Holland!

As you may know, I have a Premier 751, freshly restored by my husband. Still we had parts to change, advice to get for this very first time. John Daly got me a great address: Orchestral Percussion.
I’d like to introduce this one man company: Paul Jefferies has been of great help, advice and got me some lost parts. He's surely not the only one, but he's a true vibes geek… and who knows he may some day save your instrument?
