Listen to it. I didn't fix the sheet music up, but it's all there. Listen to me play and make it sound like that. It's that simple,

Yes another great thing about the site is I get to meet people with great Vibe stories!

I'm talking to the daughter of Jerry Shard. He was a vibe player from back in the day and he was on Capitol Records AND did a tribute to Adrian Rollini. That's pretty cool huh? They have the record on cassette and I'm trying to get a copy along with photos for the site! Jerry lived in Philadelphia. I'll pass along more info as I get it.

Here's an advanced chord study. There's a ton to study here.

There are many things you can do with this etude.

First:
Write in the chords of the tune on the pdf. This is important because hopefully you'll do some analyzing.
Learn and memorize the etude.

Play it with the bass accompaniment part. Can you hear the changes? Ok, now play it with a metronome on 2 and 4.

Study the rhythms carefully and the phrasing. Can you hear the chord qualities, can you see what's different from chord to chord?

Recording made with a basic ZOOM Q3 during a rehersal of our new duo. I'm discovering the sound of vibes with accordeon, and I dig it. It's the first time I have the opportunity of playing a Piazzolla tune. Lot of polishing needed, of course, but what a fun for me!

Hello! It's been too long since I've posted music on this site...this is what happens when you're earning a Ph.D, eh? Hopefully I'll be able to work on a TOTM or something soon...

Anyway, I've called your attention here for a couple reasons:

I am very glad to present this new duo with David (actually not so new ...)
