Well, I will have to give some sort of short workshop at the WVC (World Vibes Congress) this year. I was going to take notes and keep a diary on my computer and thought I would do it here. So I'll blog here and you guys can give me your two cents.
Questions? Thoughts? What did you think? Let's talk about his book, here.
I have some things to say but I'll wait. How about some of you start. Gary will check in to answer questions and comment (I'm pretty sure).
I didn't know that Terry Gibbs played with Benny Goodman. He's playing a Deagan Imperial, which was known for a great warm tone. I had one in high school that I bought for $290. The guy I bought it from was convinced it had only 2 1/2 octaves, which was why he was selling it so cheaply. I showed him it had 3 octaves, but then my dad kicked me in the foot and said, "It's not polite to argue."
This is an exercise of blues solo. One chorus written using chord tones on the beats, and (mostly) blues scale and bebop dominant scale tones as passing notes.

In case you haven't seen this yet, you MUST watch it!
Hello everyone! I'm pleased to share my senior recital performance from April! This month, I graduated with my undergrad from Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University with a major in Jazz Performance for vibraphone and a minor in Public Relations! I want to say a big thank you to Tony Miceli, who was my teacher/mentor throughout my 4 years and beyond! Thanks for telling me about Temple and making me fall in love with the city of Philadelphia! Below is the program, and I hope you enjoy watching:)
Here's my version. Where is yours!
