Hey everyone, I'll see you tomorrow! 7pm EDT.

Thank you for having coffee with me today at the Vibes Workshop Coffee Vibe Hang! I enjoyed telling some of my stories and appreciate you all for hanging out. I look forward to learning more about you and getting to know all of you better.

These are three studio recordings I did just before the end of 2020 with a group I've been playing with for two years now. The group is led by Tyler Miles, a promising bassist in the Sacramento area and student at Sac State. Rounding out the group are Mackenzie McCarthy on tenor saxophone, Zach Martin on guitar, Gabe Carpenter on drums, and myself on vibes.

Hi Everyone,

Below is a post by a philosophy professor on what his experience of teaching online has been like during the pandemic year and what he has learned from it. I thought a lot of what he says is equally applicable to music education. So I am reposting it below. Discussion very much welcomed!

What Zoom Removes

Guest post by C. Thi Nguyen

Let's face it a lot of the time there's another comping instrument with us on stage.
So, how can we comp without interfere the soloist or the other harmonic instrument?
with textural comping!

Here's a Wynton Kelly lick off of Hank Mobely's tune "Dig Dis." I explain how it works and how you can practice it, but the main idea is that Wynton Kelly is able to mix blues with upper structure triads and it still just sounds like blues!

Due to the Corona problem, I can't get any thin-walled aluminum tube at the moment. Therefore, I have pimped my old and very much used PVC resonance tubes with a new type of flap.

The new flaps are printed from flexible plastic with a hole "too small" by about 0.1 to 0.2 mm. Therefore, they adhere very well to the shaft after sliding on, but can be aligned and positioned as desired.
I also managed to make this solution foldable. Due to the magnetic coupling, the shafts reconnect by themselves after splitting.
