My Foolish Heart (Solo Vibraphone Perfomance)

https://soundcloud.com/frankvalente/my-foolish-heart-solo-vibraphone9-2…

The link above is of a recording of the first ballad I learned to play in the Solo Vibraphone Style. I'm quite new to the solo vibraphone style and took many ideas from the soloist approaches of pianist such as Bill Evans, Fred Hersch, and Brad Mehldau, as well as the guidance of my teacher. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

On Green Dolphin Street (C-Eb) solo version by Giovanni Perin (Transcribed)

Hi guys here's my new solo version of the TOTM. In jam session people play it in Eb or C and I was unsure about the key I wanted to play it so I decided to divide the head in C for the first half and Eb for the second half.
As always there's the pdf with the transcription of Head in, solo form head out and coda.

Hope you enjoy it.

Stars Fell On Alabama - "Four to the Bar" Solo Vibraphone

Hey guys, at home today playing the classic standard "Stars Fell On Alabama" with a "four to the bar" groove. I enjoy playing in this style and this is a great tune for that type of groove. I know Tony has posted some great lessons on this topic. It might be helpful to view those lessons and apply what he's talking about to this tune. Feel free to post any questions if you get a chance to try this style out. There are quite a few important and subtle things that help to make it work.
