Oh My God!!!.....

Ok, so I just checked my gig calendar and untill halfway through november I counted a total of 66 gigs!! Oh man this is crazy! But guess what, I'm playing vibes in almost al of those gigs!

I really feel bad not being on the site that much lately, but I'm just so f'n busy... Unfortunately it's not all standards/jazz stuff so I have to try to work on that when I get time in between....

Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted on stuff.

TOTM My Romance - Blog

So the TOTM I think has proven to be a little difficult for some of you guys. Seems like a couple people are keeping up, but not more than that.

That's ok, even if this gets you to really learn the melodies or the chords, it's a good thing. I think what's important here is that you guys know that it takes work to do this, and keep all that in mind. Then just do the best you can when it comes to learning tunes.

I'm going to wrap this one up in the next lesson and then we can decide whether to pick another tune or not.

Any thoughts?

All the Things You Are (Stan Levey) with Victor Feldman

I don't think this has been posted before. Sadly there's way too little Vic Feldman video out there. He was a natural in every way. This is the Stan Levey group with Vic Felman on vibes playing "All the Things You Are." I think the arrangement of the head is very cool. It's too short, but any Vic Feldman video is good Vic Feldman video. Stan Levey was a unique drummer as well. Watching him play is like looking at a mirror image of most drummers.

Let's Create a Radio Show for Gloria

Name a tune that you would like see on one of Gloria's future radio show. (Gloria has a monthly radio show where she does an all vibraphone show!!!

I'll pick the first one. My all time favorite. Gary Burton's - Chega De Saudade (No More Blues)
