The EPK for this group came up on my Facebook feed. Joe Locke sounds great, as always.

In an effort to practice soloing over a tune with few chord changes, I limited myself to only certain chord tones every chorus of Impressions until I've added them all.

Here is a "video" that I made for the 2021 Valentines vibe hang.

I am playing a couple of tunes on my MIDI-fied Vibraphone, "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, and "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc.

Another duo with Tony, this time on Joe Henderson's "Recordame."

I realise there'a already a video of mine on "Recent Activity", but I just saw that "I remember April" is the tune of the month, so, since I have quite a bit of free time at the moment....don't we all? OK..Tony doesn't.....He's teaching quite a bit..good for him and great for his students! Anyway, since I do have time I thought I'd record a semi-latin version of the tune. The sound isn't great..one mike on the vibes and one on the piano...I figured the times we're living in don't necessarily call for perfection...So it's raw and that's cool for me.

Rest in peace to one of my earliest and most profound inspirations! I attached a clip of one of my earliest performances on vibes (late high school). I played drums and piano long before this so I had harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary already and stuff, but this was one of my first real performances on the instrument, and I was obsessed with the Chick/Gary duos at the time, so I chose this tune.

(ESP) Bienvenidx a Vibesworkshop.com ! Tuve una gran clase con un alumno mío. Estamos trabajando las posiciones abiertas y cerradas de acordes, además de utilizarlos por toda la escala. Casi siempre sugiero que se trabaje una mano a la vez, pero se nos ocurrió una alternativa que musicalmente hablando tiene sentido. Entonces, es muy simple, lo que vas a hacer es tocar Do mayor, (tan fácil no?). Vamos a tocar este acorde moviendo una mano por vez, pero la que no se mueve se queda en donde estaba, entonces muevo esta mano (la derecha) por arriba y dejo esta mano (la izquierda) abajo.

Hola!
Sobre un coro de Autumn leaves, armé este solo aplicando siempre escalas pentatonicas mayores.
Por ejemplo: En los acordes dominantes utilizé la b5P (es decir Ab para el D7, o F para el B7b9), en el caso de los -7b5 utilizé la b6p (es decir D para el Fa#-7b5) y así...
Siempre buscando que en la escala elegidas se escuchen tensiones de esos acordes.
