Sorayia - by Christos Rafalides
As many of you know, Arturo Serra is a great vibraphone player we fortunately have in Spain. For a great number of new generation jazz vibraphone players in Spain, Arturo has been (and continues being) the person who has had the things clear together with many years of a great experience in order to have been able to guide us and advice us about how to learn jazz vibes step by step in the right way. I am one of these and Arturo has been and is a mentor.
Here's a simple chord melody for our TOTM, Darn That Dream. You will find many voicings that are similar to the chord study we had, and a few modifications. Pdf is attached. Enjoy!

There's 2 weeks a year, where I just can't keep up. This is them. Between spring gigs, teaching rehearsing, I fall behind on vibesworkhop. But it's over soon and I have a bunch of lessons based on Darn That Dream, so we'll keep it going for a bit. That means Behn has to thinking of stuff! He's been posting a lot.
That's life, huh? Better to be busy then not! I leave a blog like this every spring semester every year and here it is!! But I'm almost done!
Hello everyone,
In this practise I wrote a solo and I tried to approach the chord tones of the chords. Then, I continue creating my own solo based on that.
Hope you like it!

This is a short excerpt from a concert with guitarist Dan Faehnle. Also Bobby Floyd on organ, Tony Franklin on drums and myself on vibes. This was a fun night!
Hope everyone is well in vibe land.
Best,
