Vibraphone

I'm looking through some of these posts, looking at the replies, seeing the depth of some of these discussions and just flipping out.

Here we're talking about Musser models and there's all this feedback and then Gary chimes in with an in depth reply about the M-55 and the M-48. This is incredible!

I was just excited about all that and thought I would post my excitement.

man it must have been an interesting time when jazz got onto pop-culture tv!

Check out how this cat plays the vibes. Pretty different approach.

Hey guys,

Here are some audio clips from a concert that took place at The University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH on February 2nd, 2009. The players are Dave Liebman – soprano & tenor, Matt Wilson – drums, David Clark – bass and me on vibes, piano and marimba.

Today I took Bud Powell, NHOP and I forget the drummer on my walk. These walks are great for me because I get to listen to a whole cd and I get exercise both of which I don't do enough of.

One thing I do when I listen is take an instrument and imagine it was being played on the vibes. Would it work? Do I need more mallets? I just imagine.

Bud in a way works out. Those simple voicings in the left hand are perfect. Most are 2 and 3 voicings. We can whittle one note out of that and even 2 if we have to.

I love science fiction and there was a show on last year called Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. This was an amazing tv show full of great characters, emotion, story, robots, and MUSIC. Like all good things, it got canceled.

so here is my version of the theme song!

How can you make a note or notes get louder while they are ringing out?

Attached is an example.
