Hi Folks,
Once or twice a year I like to share a recent video. Here's my arrangement of "Call Me" by Blondie from a recent show in Switzerland with my trio. Enjoy!

What a great tune!
This is an AWESOME piece. Good fodder for advanced geography/space sharing between the hands on vibraphone. Also stabilizing repeated tones while surrounding tones change, and avoiding anticipatory "static" in the motion (ie. a hand tries to leave early and you miss a note).

I struggle when I practice! It sucks striving for perfection and never achieving it. I guess I just look for better. However I think the end goal is perfection. It is a nice goal that none of us will ever reach, but some seem to get pretty close.
I realize how much of this is about focus. That's at least 95% of the battle.
Hi all,
Here is an original song from the album with thanks to Gary Burton for the inspiration and for blazing the trail for us.
Cheers Kym
