Vibes are booming in France as anywhere else in the world. Classically educated guys like Frank Tortiller are establishing new standards. I really dig this. Do you ?
Here are my two practice versions of Vince Guaraldi etude by TM.
The first one is a normal playing version, and the second one is an attempt to use the 2 hands separately.
I don't play the head entirely, I start improvising over the chords quite fast...
This is where I am today with this tune that I really enjoy playing... go ahead, tell me what you see/hear...I'm here to make pogress

This is a great lesson by Behn Gillece on some approaches to solo playing as well as voicings.
just found this amazing video of milt from 1990 and HAD to share it!
AT LONG LAST I CAN MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT I HAVE LONGED FOR.
In regards to my cancer situation. I have had the cryotherapy and then had complications. I have had infections and now only have one left to clear up. The additional operation I was expecting to have, has been ruled out because the medication and rest therapy is working and working well.
By February 1st, I plan to begin my regimen of restarting my practice and retraining of my vibraphone skills, hopefully including some vids. In seven months, I hope to have regained most of my abilities in playing the vibes.
part 2
blackbird and bluesette
Here’s a technique I use called “hammers” – it’s a guitar embellishment technique that works nice on the vibe, giving a sort of note bending effect.
Early Gary Burton records such as “country roads” show him using this “sound”- that’s how I learned of it
It’s one of those “sounds” you use sparingly. The audio here is pretty lo-fi but you’ll get the idea
Part 1 shows the technique
Part 2 shows the technique used over Blackbird, and Bluesette
