Who doesn't love Dex!? Today is his birthday. What are your favorite Dexter tunes/albums. My favorite album is Doin' Allright. I also really like the blues on that album Society Red. Check out how behind the beat he sounds on the whole solo. It swings hard. That is Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.
Really inspiring to hear all the great solo playing (most recently Ed's Funny Valentine) on the site. Heres a go at one of my favorites Falling Grace by Steve Swallow.

Hello to all fellow Vibeworkshoppers !
I'm currently undertaking a research masters in composition relating to the vibraphone and technology usage in composition / performance and am looking for participants. This involves answering a short questionnaire via email which will take no more than half an hour to complete. All information about the study and also the exact Questionnaire to answer is attached to this post as a pdf file for you to checkout. If you would like to participate please email me on davekemp@tpg.com.au so I can send you the Microsoft Word version for you to complete.
Hello everyone,
I recently took part in a competition about jazz performing on master jam fest and I think I am the only one vibraphone player there. I would like to ask you to vote me. It will just take 5 seconds and the deadline for this is 15th of february. So, if you think I should win, vote for me!
I think it will also be good for the vibe community because from what I have seen I am the only one vibe player!!! the link to vote is below!
Thank you

Still practicing my soloing. Working on lines. I love lines. I wish i could play lines like these heavy cats i admire on the site ( Tony, Dave, Ed, Behn, Rusty ... ). Working on.
Working on simplicity and clearity. Phrasing, tempo, harmo.
Soloing is often to much confuse. Keep the things clear man ! I always says that to me !
It's a work in progress.
I love doing that.
hi dear gary,I would like to know how do you feel with the past of the time with the rattan thicknes of your mallets?
early video are a thin rattan and was very flexible . looks like more easy to play? more flexibility in your phrasing? for example this video

I have a older set with this rattan and the feeling it is some diferent
but in a duo context if you play loud and with enegy I fell confortable
or you live in tokio with chick?
hi all people anybody see that? I think it is a new version I never see
Do you know Patrick Simard ? Canadian drummer. A Berklee guy also. Great fusion drumming and pretty good at vibes as well !! Love his phrasing !
Transcribing is a good way to practice !!
Recently I have noticed, when on the Internet, on almost any page I visit whether it be a bulletin board or just pages browsing the Internet, there always seems to be certain key words that are highlighted in color and double underscored. These words do not have to be clicked on to activate. If you just pass your mouse cursor over the underscored words, then an annoying or unwanted ad pops up that appear to be sponsored by "QwikLinx". Move the cursor away and they go away in a couple of seconds or you can click the x box in upper right corner.
