Many of you know this already. I've done a bunch of lessons on it.
One of my favorite compositions by Keith Jarrett. I've been listening to some brilliant versions from Keith playing this song. Some from the 70's as well as some newer renditions. They are all inspiring but the one from the live version recorded in Lille, France in '81 is very special. Day off from Berklee due to the snowstorm so I had some more time in the shed.
GMV (Galician Music for Vibes) is a collection of lessons to practice many topics on vibraphone through traditional galician music.

在這個影片中，Tony只想說一點，那就是有經驗的鐵琴演奏者總是使用無根音的和聲配置(Rootless voicing)。
Tony開始告訴學生在演奏和弦ii-v-I時，V級Dominant和弦需要用到diminished scale，學生們便開始轉便成為真正有爵士語彙的演奏者。
演奏爵士樂時，真的很需要聽到那些和弦延伸音(extensions)。
如果你想要成為更好的爵士樂手，盡量少打根音，多運用一些九音、十一音、十三音等。

Tony要證明即興時，不需要敲擊和弦的根音，也能辨別出不同的和弦。
以C6和G7和弦為例，Tony示範即興，演奏漸漸的從有根音到無根音，聽者還是能分辨什麼時候從C6換成G7。
所以試著練習看看，你會發現我們在即興時，真的不需要敲擊根音，你也能聽到不同的和弦變換。
I love when some takes one of our instruments and plays them in a way that's simple and beautiful. This woman is amazing!
And the keyboard setup is cool. Anyone know how it's set up?
I like how little she rolls. Amazing players I think use the rests in a way that others don't. Many players on the Xylo and Marimba seem to roll too much for me. IMHO
