From those of you who were on thevibe.net a few years ago, you might remember Vid Jamnik, this kid hardly 13 years old from Slovenia playing vibes so well, and his father by his side...
Well, "little Vid" is now 16. And he just joined the site.
Vid, now tell us all: who are you? (and where have you been all those years!)

Here's a quick and dirty cop this groove. I'm just trying out a new inexpensive camera and I wanted to shoot something quick and I had a 'Cop This Groove' lesson in mind. So I just did a quick recording. Very imperfect but the groove is still there. So cop it!!
this is my version of tonys cherokee etude. i spent a lot of time on this but unfortunatley i couldn´t do one take (and marie did forbid me to cheat and to cut 2 or 3 versions together!) without mistakes. this is the best one take i could find...with video proof :)
normally i should spent more time on this to get rid of the mistakes now but after recording many versions i´m tiered of this song and give up with this one.
Patrice recently joined us. He's from the lovely French region of Bordeaux. But... we'd like to know MORE!!
So, who is Patrice Guillon? huh?
I found this video on Facebook. I dug Patrice's playing and his 4 mallet playing. Sometimes I do a test when I'm listening to guys, I turn the sound off and just watch them. Patrice has a nice feel IMHO. And I thought he had a nice flow in his playing and nice technique. So check him out!
The video on Facebook syncs up much better than this youtube video.
I won't be writing stuff out. We're going to use our ears. I know already that that's very difficult with 15 vibe players in the room, but the alternative of writing stuff out just doesn't work for me.
You might want to get into the swing of things by transcribing a little bit each day. Take a solo and just go 1 bar a day.
We're going to sing also, so you might want to put on Aebersold and start singing solos and getting into the swing of things.
More to come!
Hey everyone,
I haven't posted in a while but I'm really going to try and start posting more. This is Joe's solo on Verrazano Moon from his gig at Dizzy's on Jan. 30th, 2010. This was definitely a big challenge for me but I had such a great time working on it.
Thanks!

I met Gloria through Randy Sutin. Gloria might be the only radio DJ in the world with an all vibes show!!!
Anyway Gloria, a "Who Is" is a post where you can tell us about yourself. So I hope you don't mind Gloria but tell us about yourself and your radio show!!
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.
