If you're going to try out the online class this weekend here's a way to prepare.
Learn the melody and the chords. Don't worry about a chord melody or anything like that if you don't want to.
Be able to play through the tune EVEN if you…
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE:
DUESSELDORF AIRPORT (WEEZE) IS ABOUT 1 HOUR AWAY. YOU MUST TAKE A BUS FROM THERE.
THE BEST AIRPORT IS DUESSLDORF (MAIN AIRPORT). ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE IS COLOGNE AIRPORT. YOU WOULD THEN COME TO DUSSELDORF BY TRAIN.

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.…

Hey guys,
Here's another clip from the hotel gig in September. It's a slow, subtle version of Jobim's classic tune Chega De Saudades. I'm a big fan of Brazilian music and musicians. I like the subtlety, nuance and musicality of the…
The vibraphone is a strange instrument. Part doorbell, part piano, part percussion, with ornamental parts that don’t really do much and an electric motor to boot.

I thought Tony's simple question was so funny, that I decided to do another one. Here it is:
When you have a gig, how many times do you check to make sure you have every part of the vibraphone?
For me, I'd say at least 3. When I'm…
Marie, this is for you. It's easier to read this then to read what's in the real book.
Remember if this is overwhelming try to just go one bar at a time. And remember..... No pressure!
