Vibraphone

Guys, here's a version of Jobim's Wave from the Berklee fundraiser concert that we did on 3/30/12. It features Matt Marvuglio on flute along with Nori Shiota on bass and Jazz Robertson on drums. Nori and Jazz are students at the school. I thought they both did a great job on the concert.

Doing some simple reharm doing my solo and comping for Matt's solo. Substitute Dom 7 chords, Dim Maj 7 in place of Maj 7, some constant structure chords, symmetrical diminished voicings, etc. The symmetrical diminished scale is also good for playing shapes when soloing.

Some tips on creating voicings.

I've got 2 high quality mics for sale. These AKG c-414s are excellent for studio recording or amplification on a gig. They are large diaphragm condenser mics that recording engineers have used and trusted for years.

This mic has 4 settings - cardioid, hyper cardioid, omni, and figure 8. It has 2 roll-off settings for low frequences of 75 hz or 100hz. You can also reduce the sensivity by 10 or 20 db. Both come with windscreen, mic stand adapter, case, and user manual.

Just a heads up.

We have the PA chapter Day of Percussion coming up.

This is why I bought the MalletKat. To play stuff like this with my shirt off. Now wouldn't that be cool??

Some of you guys are NOT going to dig this. But some of you are going to flip. I flipped.

Watching the average music we are used to post on the site, I've been thinking about introducing more of latin influenced vibists.

Victor Mendoza is a great, great example. Up to recently he was teaching at Berklee, until a few months ago when he moved to the new Berklee school which opened in Valencia-Spain.

I know too little about Victor, appart that he's highly respected by his peers and students. I love this latin version of the standard, Victor's touch, language, skill and the way he gives a new and personal life to the tune never forgetting its origin...

Hey all,

Here is the registration for Delaware. Flyers are going out this week. Then it becomes first come first serve since all this is done electronically. If you're thinking of coming, now is the time.

Sounds like it's going to be a great week. Mario from Alternate Mode has a lot of great players coming in including Samuels.

We have Friedman coming in (hoping for a Double Image concert) and i think a few other players. So this will be a great week.
