Check out Andre.
He's a great vibe player from Brazil. I'm trying to get him to post some lessons on the site talking about the Brazilian rhythms and how to play them on the vibes! He has great chops. He played a whole 1.5 hour show and I think I heard him miss ONE note!!!!!
Cal Tjader is one of the vibraphone masters. His work can inspire others. I'm enjoying my little jump into his playing.
I'm working on a transcription of Cal Tjader's Tropicville from the album Latin Kick. If someone is familiar with this track could you take a look at my transcription. I think it's getting pretty close, but another set of eyes would be awesome. Cheers!

Things go in cycles for me. Let's just start with that.
Hi guys, I've just found this video. What an entertainer!
Here I provide a little insight into my teaching at the Musikhochschule Detmold. This is an excerpt of a concert at the Schlagzeughaus where I (left vibes) played with my student Andrey Doynikov (right vibes).
Have fun!

Hi everyone,
Next week, we enter the month of July, time for a clean, new start on a Tune of the Month.
I've spoken with Tony, and we've decided that it may be a good idea to have 2 tunes to study for next month, each of varying difficulty.
Everyone is welcome to study whichever one they see fit, or both, doesn't matter, but be assured that there will be lessons on both tunes. I suggested Autumn Leaves to Tony awhile back as a nice, simple one, but forgot that we did that one a couple of years ago (isn't that crazy? We've been doing TOTMs that long now!)
It's great to be at this workshop in Patagonia.
Yesterday I saw Everisto Aguilar's ensemble from UAT in Mexico. That made the whole trip so worthwhile. They gave an incredibly moving concert at the festival. Eversito seems like such an amazing teacher. Improvisation is very important in his teaching it seems. You guys would have been blown away by this concert!
I'm in Patagonia right now at a percussion festival. I realized something when I was doing my workshop and talking to people about the vibraphone. I had a lot of confidence talking about this instrument. I actually felt proud about the instrument.
Being proud of the instrument for me comes from having a strong knowledge of the instrument. Now think about this. I've probably read about 90-95 percent of everything on this site. Do you realize how much information that is? How much I've learned? Unbelievable.
