Hi folks,
Wanted to share a new video fresh of the press of my electric trio with Ari Hoenig and Massimo Biolcati. Love playing with these guys and it was nice to finally go into the studio and get some footage. Please comment, share, and join my Youtube channel if you dig it.
Thanks for watching,

Revisiting a beautiful song written by the great bassist Steve Swallow. I first learned this composition while studying with Gary as a student at Berklee in the 70s. Steve wrote so many great compositions and this is certainly one of them.

Working on the classic "Alice in Wonderland" in a practice session this past week while focusing on several solo vibraphone techniques for playing in 3/4. I was inspired way back by Bill Evans' classic interpretation of this song on the Live at the Village Vanguard recording with Bill, Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian.
I'm planning on recording a tutorial at some point dealing with playing solo vibraphone on 3/4 tunes. There are a quite a few things to think about and work on in this area.
Mixing up Improvisational Techniques and Concepts on "All Of Me"
Guys, here's a tutorial on the "four to the bar" style on Stars Fell On Alabama. Had some fun with adding the hats. I use to do this with piano but not vibes, so it needs tweaking. Would have picked a smaller/thinner and quieter set of hats but beggars can't be choosey. Ha!Ha! Hope you find this helpful. My thoughts about note selection and considerations for the comping are in the video description. Let me know if you have any questions. Ed.
