Vibraphone

This piece, a sarabande from Sonata IV in D minor, is a slow thoughtful piece and a good 4 mallet exercise. Use the 4 mallets for melody lines as well the block chords. For instance, in bar 6 you’ll find it handy to use 4 to play the wide intervals in the line. The same approach should be used in bar 23 where the melody line jumps around a lot.

NOTA: the live video I had attached has been removed... I'm so sorry about that. So I relink the studio version... beautiful too.

Oh man...

I had just started discovering Stefon Harris' music last week. And today Joe Doubleday linked this vid on his Face Book... This tune is already one of my fav on studio...

Oh man check out the intro, and his two mallet solo... (together of course with his compadres great interpretations!)

Oh man... oh man... the power of two mallets and a big soul!

Hey everybody,

Ed played a great gig with his quartet at the Sahara Club on April 6th. This video is of Jitterbug Waltz by Fats Waller. You can follow the link to youtube and see part 2 of this tune as well as a few of the other tunes from the show.

Enjoy!

Tony realized that Jay Messina just joined us as subscriber. Jay has a great career as sound engineer for the greatest musicians all around the world... We'd love to know more, about his past, and his history with the vibraphone too!

Jay, please tell us!!

And welcom on Vibesworkshop!

So my car stereo blew a few months ago. I bought another one a few months ago thinking it replace it myself. I tried but no sound. So I got my son an his Drexel buddies over figuring 30 grand a year, they can get it working. Nothing.

So finally I went to Best Buy and had them put it in only to find out that the problem was not the radio but the speakers. Ok, 400 dollars later (and I'm broke right now) I have a new car stereo and speakers.
