As a following to one of the last topics about piano, guitar or drums as models for vibists, i found that video who took me completely off-guard.
Dorothy Ashby was a jazzwoman playing HARP ! And to my biggest surprise, i discovered that finally jazz harp is very close to vibraphone. Same long notes to dampen, same fight to get a good jazz phrasing, and chords sounding very close to the way they sound on vibes.

Hey all,

I hope this is the right place to post this - this is my first time actually making a post. With all the work we've been doing on I'll Remember April I thought to share an arrangement I've been making of it. It's by no means done or even close to done but I thought it'd be great to share and get some feedback.

My second attempt at comping and soloing over So What. As suggested to me, I tried out comping using fourths this time.

My second attempt at comping and soloing over Blue Bossa.

I'm slowly getting into the classical vibraphone rep, and I started with this one.

Hi all,

During the pandemic, I had a nice opportunity to do a considerable amount of recording with the Posi-Tone "bubble band" with Art Hirahara on piano, Boris Kozlov on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums . I'm very proud of what we accomplished during these uncertain times. My new album comes out March 19th and is available on my website now, behngillece.com

What key is it in?

Is it a minor ii V or major?

So if you if you know what key this is in, then you can figure out the ii V chords as well right? (Of course you can).

Play it in 12 keys.

Play a solo over the tune I'll Remember April. Fit this lick into the tune. Do you see where? Everywhere there is a minor ii V. i.e. Amin7b5 D7.

Honor system. When you've done all this work and done it well, sign off on the assignment here. Just make a comment and say Done or Completed or whatever you want.

I am selling my 'Musser M48 Traveler' vibraphone with bars from the late 70's. If you are interested please email me at christosraf@mac.com.

Here’s a tune based on I’ll Remember April. Different intro from the Clifford Brown Max Roach .

Hi All,
Good Vibes, the first and only broadcast program to feature the vibraphone, will air on March 7, 2021 and March 10, 2021. Details below.
I wish Joe Locke and Stefon Harris happy March birthdays by playing Joe's "The Shadow of Your Smile" from Sound Tracks and Stefon's "Easy Now" from the album Keep Searchin'. Gary Burton reunites with Astor Piazzolla, Bryan Carrott is In Your Dreams, Behn goes to church, and Tony tells Porgy of his love. So much more! Tune in.
I'm also posting shows on mixcloud.com where you can listen anytime.
