Vibraphone

Hi All,

Since it's the last day of my cell phone billing cycle and I have some data left, we've made a last minute decision to Livestream tonight's gig. The link is http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1758489/events/2195047/statuses/2218….

We'll be starting at about 7:30 (pm EDT) and going for an hour or so with the Livestream -- don't want to run over my data limit! There won't be anyone to monitor the chat room, so you're on your own there.

Enjoy!

Tom P.

Hi All,
Here is the article I wrote for my monthly column, On The Road, in the New Jersey Jazz Society magazine. It appears in the just-released July/August issue. This magazine is sent to members only and is not available online. Anyone who would like the full 54-page mag, please email me and I will send the whole pdf.

Hey friends,

I recorded this rehearsal of my little solo suite for Vibraphone and iPhone called "Nordlig Vinter" recently. Thought some of you might be interested! There's three short pieces in the one video: Ice Drum, Clusters and Snow Bells.

If you like the music there's more information on my site: http://charlesmartin.com.au/nordligvinter

Just thought I'd mention goals again! They work so well for me! I learn something. I play something. I have this prepared by this date. I record this on zoom on this date. I work hard to achieve those goals. I move them up on my list of priorities. I don't give myself too many. I make sure that I choose goals that challenge me and are within reach. I work hard on the goals. I pretend they are real. They sort of are real right? If you have goals and have priorities AND manage them you will get better on the vibes!

Hey all,

Soon me and the family are going on our 2 week holiday. And this year I just don't want to take a break in playing. Only thing is, I can't take the vibes.

Now I noticed there are these cheap 1-1.5 octave glockenspiels you can get.

-Is it a good idea to take this with me, and work a bit with it on holiday ?
- do some of you now fun stuff, (tunes, excercises,....) that I can do then.
- Or maybe sheet music which I need to rewrite for vibes ? (for my level of playing off course, but a lot of you know what I'm capable or not, so I can ask here.)
other stuff....

thanks,

this tune is written by our singer taken from a gig we did some time ago...

Very simple to learn, try to do it fast. Definitely an exercise to have in the back of your mind.
