Hey Everybody,
February's show is coming up fast. Here's the line-up:
Christos, Stefon, Gary, Chuck (two tracks), Tim, Behn, Bobby, Hendrik, David, Arthur, Steve N., Steve S., Tony, Kym, Jay and Steve H. A collection of the exceptional. You know them all, and if you don't, all the more reason to tune in.
My half hour of Where Jazz Goes includes two Sting tunes, two very different Beatles compositions, a Percy Mayfield hit and one from West Side Story. So, stay "Cool" and listen in.

Happy Valentine's Day,

I told myself before this performance, to just have a good time, and practice in front of people. This is my attempt at putting the "play" back into playing.

Hi all! I've been working on Woody'n You this week and thought I would share. Solo playing is very challenging for me. I've been trying to work slowly with the metronome and figure out how to accompany myself in a few different ways.

“Moon River” by Henry Mancini. Had a little time before a meeting today. An excerpt of some practicing in one of the Berklee percussion department practice rooms.

Stella By Starlight by Victor Young
Solo Vibe

I do think vibesworkshop has turned into a gold mine of information. I can say that, because I don't get all the credit. If I would have made this a site where just I was the teacher, it would have never grown into what it is.

Off the subject, now my goal is to keep it going. And that's very difficult for many reasons. But I'm trying.

Back at Berklee today for registration. Happy to get back to the college after a nice break during my sabbatical. Got in early since traffic into town was a breeze and had a little time to shed on a Marimba One. This is an “on the fly” run through of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s classic “Chega de Saudade”.

I've just found this video Interesting IMHO - Enjoy !

Hi all

Bach Minuet in C Minor by J. S. Bach – practicing this classical piece for the purpose of dampening. These kinds of pieces are quite easy on the piano but definitely pose a challenge for the vibist in trying to maintain clarity of the lines with the counterpoint. I used this piece and other similar classical pieces from the piano, guitar and violin classical repertoire for my upcoming book on pedaling and dampening. The link to download the music is in the video description.
