Another great month! The VDOP (Vertual Day Of Percussion) took place on Feb 15th with live performances and recorded videos online. If like me you were not there, you can check out all the recorded tunes here: www.vibesworkshop.com/node/11134/
It's funny from where I'm at, isn't it!
Solo Vibraphone Playing on Alone Together
Here are a few things that I'm using in this clip:

Superimposed Maj 7 #5 chords: on the bridge, we can apply superimposed Major 7 #5 chords over the harmony in the bridge. The superimposed Maj #5 chords emphasize the tensions of the underlying harmony.
A -7 b5 - Eb Maj 7 #5
D7 - Gb Maj 7 #5
G Min - Bb Maj 7 #5
G-7b5 - Db Maj 7 #5
C7 - E Maj 7 #5
F Min - Ab Maj 7 #5
I am really interested in finding out when the Mallettech Omega frame will be available without the bars or Vibrato system?
Mallettech does not seem to answer emails sent via their Mostly Marimba website.
An idea for lines in the Dorian mode. Maybe useful?
Just playing around with all this. I still want to transcribe a Gyil solo.
This is a little difficult for me. 
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.
