Hi everyone
One small sample from my latest gig in Philadelphia.
Thanks for watching!
Here's a little clip of My electric trio show this last week. Please comment and share if you dig it. Thanks,

I know this was posted on the Virtual Vibraphone Day of Percussion, but I thought it might not have been available to all Vibeworkshoppers. I wanted to demonstrate playing "Scrapple" solo, comping the melody and playing a solo, concentrating on clear melodic lines and consistent time; a tremendous challenge to all who attempt solo vibraphone playing, especially playing a bebop tune and making it swing.
Practicing solo vibraphone today on Body & Soul. A few things that I was thinking about during this practice session included: enhancing the harmony via added tensions, Upper Structure Triads and a variety of voicings, varying the harmony with chord substitutions, staccato articulation via deadstrokes, incorporating dampening as a means of adding to the variety of articulation as well as helping to make the counterpoint sound clean, varying the four mallet techniques.
Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together. Here is Take 3 out of three takes. This version has more of an emphasis on counterpoint and more active left hand accompaniment techniques.
Other Takes:
Take 1: This is a fairly brief two chorus version that includes right hand octaves along with left hand accompaniment and pedal point in the bridge of the 2nd chorus.
Check out my solo in All the things you are. Another great sunday today where we hang out with tony and other uarts students!
thanks
Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together. Here is Take 2 out of three takes. This rendition is a little slower and starts out with more subtlety than Take 1. In this take, I'm experimenting with using a variety of articulations/note lengths as well as executing lines with four mallets.

A great workshop today with Tony at the University of the Arts!!
