Vibraphone

Hi!

This is just another practice tape on Summertime actually the first jazz song I ever played in my life.

Well I also want to ecourage all of you who are amateurs like me and have not yet posted anything (remember there are 1000 people registered on this site)

Thanx for listening, critiques are welcome

Cheers Stefan

A Canadian player who has played with many greats includung Benny Goodman. Here it looks like he's having fun. Nice understated sound.

Check out Terry's nice relaxed feel. I dig watching his hands.

Hands!

Thanks for the link update Barry. I posted this quite a while ago so I am not sure if this is the same video or not but its more than good enough!

I love the language Bobby uses here. So strong and soulful!

Hi all!

I'm sitting at home grounded with a bad cold so I got more time than usual to post here.

Someone at TheVibe.net reported that he recently acquied a 4-octave DeMorrow vibraphone - is there anyone familiar with this brand? Any opinions? Nico?

Well, I am an old gear head

cheers Stefan

Can you cats fill me in? I just downloaded 'Guys and Dolls Love the Vibes'.

As I've mentioned many times one of my perks for running this site is getting to meet and talk with my idols. Terry is one of them, and we've had a couple long phone calls talking about all sorts of things.

In addition he sent some great video.
[BTW Terry said I could post some of it, but I can't get to the video. Can anyone help me? It plays but there's nothing visible on the disk.]

I happened upon this clip on YouTube from 1998. It features vibes/percussion master Emil Richards, Joe Porcaro on drums and a young conguero, Cosimo Lampis. This is from a master class in Sardinia (wherever that is!). I think this is one of Emil's original tunes. Great stuff!
