What is happening in the Vibes Workshop Discord this week!

Gary Burton reacts to a video of his solo playing that he has never seen — his 1974 Norway video, on clarity, dampening, and the two-guitar band.

What's happening in the Vibes Workshop Discord this week: Gary Burton on how the Musser M-48 was born, a member who found a vibraphone in Paris 3 hours before a gig, and our practice club working through rootless voicings.

This is a solo vibe piece Tony Miceli commissioned me to write for him. Let me know what you guys think! These are the program notes I wrote for the piece:

This piece was written in April of 2024 upon commission from Tony Miceli, professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While taking private lessons with him, we began experimenting with timbral effects on the vibraphone, and one of my assignments was to write a solo vibraphone piece surrounding this idea. Thus, this piece was born.

Looking For Something to Study?

Hi all,

Really looking forward to this bebop course! Tony and I have been talking about doing something like this for awhile and I'm glad we're doing it.

Mondays will be the main day for postings. Check out the lessons Tony put up, they're great and it looks like some people are posting already, which is awesome!

I will put up more on Wednesday. Hope you're all into it!

THE HANG IS HERE CLICK HERE

A very special hang this Sunday at 12 noon. Unlike the other vibe hangs, this is a pro hang. I picked 4 great vibe players and asked them to come and play for about 30 minutes. So it's a little more like a sort of concert.

This week will be myself, Behn Gillece, Anthony Smith and Randy Sutin.

It's online so you can watch at home. If you are in the Philly area and want to come buy, just let me know in advance.
