hey,
saturday i had a very nice gig in an old castle. the atmosphere was great and people were really listening. i like the arrangement of this tune (by our guitar player) even though it´s very simple.listening back i think it´s much too long if we go for 3 solos but we all wanted to do a solo here :)

I have been practising this week how to play with a vibes trio using harmonies, left hand etc. and I came up with some ideas posted below. I am going to play with a trio and I am trying to make the vibes sound full, not only lines!

I am not perfect at that but these ideas helped me a lot. When I play with the trio i will post!

Thanks

Hi everyone,

This is a recent video from Jay Ingram's show, in which Dr. Jessica Grahn talks about brain and music, particularly rhythm perception. I thought you guys would be interested.

I m doing similar stuff in my research. I know Jessica personally, although don t work directly with her.

Enjoy ! If you have questions... ;=)

Cheers,

Nico

Anyone interested. Don't do it if you don't want to. No pressure. But I'm looking for three intermediate players who want to try a group lesson on How Deep is the Ocean.

Born on this day in 1943, our living legend, Gary Burton.

I had the great opportunity of attending a clinic by Gary way back in my college days at Indiana State Univ. I can still remember the clinic and the evening concert that came with. A great day of wisdom and inspiration that has lasted a lifetime!

Still working on and applying the wisdom imparted. Thanks to all that you've done for so many players on all instruments not just the vibraphone.

Happy Birthday!

Here's part 1 of the harmony for our TOTM, "How Deep Is The Ocean."
