Vibraphone

Hi guys here's my new solo version of the TOTM. In jam session people play it in Eb or C and I was unsure about the key I wanted to play it so I decided to divide the head in C for the first half and Eb for the second half.
As always there's the pdf with the transcription of Head in, solo form head out and coda.

Hope you enjoy it.

So I'm giving the Mallet Improv workshop this year at PASIC. And so I thought!!!

I would like to get you guys to chip in. Open source the talk!

So give me some tips you found valuable for learning improv. Some commentary? Advice? What should young mallet players work on? Think about? etc.

I will also refer to this post in the notes and make this available for everyone at PASIC

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.

I was listening to some older Milt tracks and came across a version of Bags' Groove with one of my favorite solos, which I remember I had transcribed when I was about 18 years old. Fortunately, I still have this book of transcriptions so I wanted to share it.

The album is called "Wizard of the Vibes" (2001 Rudy van Gelder remaster). But this track has appeared on other releases. It is one of the classic versions of Bags' Groove. I suggest you seek out the recording, because the notes are only one aspect of this - the FEEL is what it is all about.
