David Kovins Jazz Vibe Boogie Original Composition
published by Honey Rock Music
I have been communicating with Fisher Ishell about his new Vibraphone Pickup system. I was curious about it because it uses contact microphones instead of piezo pickups. I have a lot of experience with contact microphones on the acoustic bass (that is how I found out about Fishers products....His Contact mic for Bass is gaining in popularity for its natural acoustic sound)

GMV-Chapter 1 (part 2) "A run run"
"A run run" is a traditional galician christmas song, which is very known in Galicia. I´ve written and arrangement-study for solo vibes so in this part (part 2) you can practice pedaling, dampening, reharmonization and modulation. The video and the PDF contain the same material (you can watch and listen it in the video and read it in the PDF).

Happy New Year to everybody!
GMV (Galician Music for Vibes) is a collection of lessons where I´ll try to show/share part of the traditional galician music adapted to the vibraphone (in order to improof and develope many topics). I´ve been working on it the last 6 months and my purpose is posting a new chapter every month. Through the lessons we´ll can practice melody, harmony, dampening, pedaling, solo vibes, ... I really hope you have fun and that helps you.
Enjoying a nice semester break from Berklee with more available time to shed. It's important for me to keep practicing and try to move forward, learn and improve. As a musician, I feel that if we stop evolving, growing and learning, we stagnate and even move backwards. There are a lot of things in my playing that I want to tweak and more fully develop. This clip shows a little of what I was working on the other day. The clip is comprised of four brief excerpts from a practice session playing Coltrane's Countdown. (My apology for the microphone cord being in the clip.
On a semester break from Berklee and in the shed today working on Thelonious Monk's classic tune "Ask Me Now". Joe (Locke) had brought this tune with him when he visited a few weeks ago. We had played this with Joe on vibes and myself on piano. Joe was burning from beginning to end while I comped on piano. It's a great tune for the "four to the bar" left hand comping that I'm utilizing here in the clip. I was also working on trying to keep the left hand groove going while incorporating two hand runs (using alternate strokes and combination strokes). It's a work in progress.
Any vibe resolutions out there?
Mine is to learn a bunch of the songs I have forgotten.
