I enjoy playing "Watch What Happens" by Michel Legrand, on piano and wanted to do an arrangement on vibes. BIAB Real Tracks in background.
Enjoy.

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
Here's a chord... hmmm.... exercise? Or maybe concept? It's a way I practice tunes sometimes.
It's also a concept that if you get down you can use in your solo playing and comping especially without a bass.
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!
Just finished an interview for AAJ about Monkadelphia the group I play in and this was the first email I got. Kind of cool.
Check out this etude by Raphael Meinhart.
Here's another tune I wrote a couple of years ago. This one was inspired by watching the movie Casino Royale (the 1960's version). Hence the title and the feel of the tune.
