Check out our reviews, most if not every cd in there is a must have for vibe players.
Hi everyone,
Here is a lesson on building a voicing vocabulary. This is a exercise with offers a method for familiarizing yourself with every possible inversion and alteration of any given chord with a 4 note voicing. This first lesson just deals with close position voicings. I plan to expand to include drop 2 and other more spread out voicing in the next lesson. As always, I'd love to hear your feedback and welcome any questions or comments on the material.

Nick Mancini at Vibe Summit XVlll. June 26th 2011. Dave Mackay on keyboard, Richard Simon on Bass and Paul Kreibich on drums. This video had to be compressed quite a bit so the quality suffered (but not the playing!).
Hi All,
I'm posting this monthly announcement a little earlier than usual because I notice a large majority of you get to read the program announcements well after the shows have aired. Now that's not gonna help if you want to listen in.
This is a very interesting and demanding interlude,written by the great composer/arranger Frank Zappa.It is a incredible exercise on playing a single line melody,using uncommon intervals.
This version appeared on the "Apostrophe"album,as part of a tune called "st Alfonzo's pancake breakfast".It begins approximately at 1:09 and it was performed by the great Ruth Underwood.
It is a standard piece in the Zappa repertoire,and it was played by all the percussionists that played in the Zappa band.
Hello guys and M-N, here's a vid of me practicing the melody of a beautiful composition by Joe titled "Love Is A Planchette". Joe brought the lead sheet when he visited for a rehearsal for our upcoming CD. He'll be here in July at Berklee for a duo concert with Joe and myself playing two vibes. It should be a lot of fun.
This clip is one of three that I posted up on my YouTube page. Pretty funny about my two golden retrievers Gibson and Jackson coming in when I started to play. I'm thinking they either dig or hate it and want me to stop playing. Probably the latter.

Our next vibe hang is July 3rd. So far the line up is:
Randy Sutin, Behn Gillece, Tony Miceli and Dana Sudborough.
I think Nathaniel Vito my student might come an play a tune as well. It's going to be fun!
