Vibraphone

Beautiful piece!!

I remember seeing this great video of mallet ensemble... surely from thevibe.net, and I thought about sharing it here too.

The question was asked about this weird instrument on far east of the band, with huge resonators, requiring the musician to play raised! But I think we never got the answer.

Maybe some of you have it now? That'd be cool!

Well at least, enjoy the piece!

Joe has been with us since the beginning and has become a very close friend of mine. He gives us energy and inspiration through his music and through his comments here on the site! I know he's loved and appreciated by all of us on vibesworkshop!!

Thanks for everything Joe, and happy birthday!!

DON'T FORGET THE ONLINE HANG, THIS SATURDAY APRIL 3, 1pm East Coast, USA Time

To watch, tune in here.

The next "traditional" vibe hang is April 3 from 12-2 East Coast USA time.

I would LOVE to get more people involved. If we have to go longer than 2, then fine. You guys are posting videos and audios, so I know some of you can try this. You can use a web cam on your computer if you want. That will work ok with your computer mic.

In fact I have a bigger plan in mind… to have a whole day online music performance with vibes players from all over the world!!
