This Is So Beautiful

This is great and fun to watch. And so well done. And Alexey is a great player. 

It seems to me this isn’t the audio of the actual outdoor playing. I think we would hear more noise. But maybe I’m wrong. What do you think? Anyway I love watching even if the audio is pre-recorded. It’s still great.

happy hispanic heritage month

hello! I was looking through all of VW for Latin jazz posts and all I kept seeing the same style of posts over and over so I thought "hey, let me add some pizzazz in here for Hispanic Heritage Month!"

still don't know what I'm going to be doing but I'll be popping in from time to time to post something in here through the month of festivities.

My Version of Israel (To go along with the lesson) 2024

I always try and put up a version of the tune I'm doing a lesson on! It helps ME! 

I think I'll keep playing it and record another version in a few days.

Look for the lesson on Israel if I forget to put the link below. 

You can like in the the Vbooks>Lessons and technique>Tune of the month>Israel

New Solo Vibraphone Piece!!

This is a solo vibe piece Tony Miceli commissioned me to write for him. Let me know what you guys think! These are the program notes I wrote for the piece:

This piece was written in April of 2024 upon commission from Tony Miceli, professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While taking private lessons with him, we began experimenting with timbral effects on the vibraphone, and one of my assignments was to write a solo vibraphone piece surrounding this idea. Thus, this piece was born.
