Vibraphone

Are the TOTM's helpfully? Some of you guys are quiet but I know you're off practicing them.

What's our next tune? Another standard? Modal?

Here are some ideas:

So What - tap into some modal stuff. this tune is deceptively simple.
inner Urge - More advanced difficult head.

Blues - Deceptively deceptively simple
Minor blues - dive into the minor world, it's cool, funny and easily more quickly rewarding then the major blues.

Days of Wine and Roses - pretty song with a lot of 'meat' on it.
I'll remember April - another tune that I think is part modal and part standard.

Remember that tune Joe Porter played for Tony's b-day? This is a simple version played by the composer... I like the authenticity and simplicity of the recording... Enjoy, - M

Check out his hands. he's a heavy player!

This is one spontaneous sample of my practice of this piece in solo style. I tried to start free and then more on pulse, but I think it sound too nervous sometimes. To mantein good tempo playing solo is one of the challenges!. Phrases are not too much defined, also. I have also some harmony and structure mistakes...well, next time will be better. Is my first video ;)

Here's What you have to do:

You have to be the first to create 15 NEW Amazon Reviews of great vibe cd's not already up on the site. If you worked hard you could do it in 2 hours (once you get the posting routine down). 15 of your favorite cds, must haves for us. Here are the rules.

The post dates must be today or after.
They must have a vibe player on them and he must solo or do something where he really stands out.
You must be a subscriber.

Talk about chops.

I'm sure you guys heard this one tons of times!... Not me! I made a search cuz I was surprised by the close presence of vibes on this version...

Did we talk about the vibist appearing here : Arthur Lyman? Any one as things to say about him?
