Vibraphone

This is a cool set of vibes. i JUST FORGOT to get him to play something!

This piece is from Joe Locke's "Six New Pieces for Solo Vibraphone" available for sale on his website - joelocke.com. I met Joe for the first time at PASIC (Percussive Arts Society International Convention) held a few weeks ago and had a chance to chat with him for a bit. He mentioned these new fully composed works for solo vibraphone and said that he was looking forward to hearing some other players interpretations. So Joe - this one's for you. Hope you like it. It's a great composition and much fun to play!

Hi guys. I decided to get into the challenge of the Mini concert. I hope you'll enjoy.

Solo piano clip of 2 choruses of Harold Arlen's "Over The Rainbow" with Keith Jarrett changes along with modulation as follows: first A in Eb, second A in F, bridge in F and last A in Db. This was taped during my Berklee improv class this past summer by pianist Ricardo Curto. The lead sheet can be viewed on Scribd here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113437494/Over-the-Rainbow-Reharm-Modulation

Ok, that's enough with the chops, huh? I'm away for one week. Behn said he'd shoot me if I didn't end the chops TOTM.

So let's get back to a tune. ok? Just In Time me and Behn were thinking of.

I think Behn has one more chops exercise, so we'll start rapping things up. In as week we'll start JUST IN TIME.

My semester is coming to a close and I'll get some lessons up. I have more from Christos.

How about some more mini concerts? I love them!

Maybe a vibe hang in December?

Check this out.

Seven Rungs of Resistance
There are 7 basic rungs of resistance up the ladder of artistic success

1. Ignorance - Not your fault. Generally the result of a polluted environment. No one
knows, so you don't know.
Example: You think funk is jazz.

2. Miseducation - Your teachers are well meaning, but just don't know. It's no one's
fault. Example: someone tells you, you have to study classical music to become a jazz
musician. Bad advice.

3. Personal difficulties - You just have some major personal problems to overcome.
