Players,
As a dedicated music lover, but a non-musician, I have always had these questions and here is a great opportunity to ask them. If these topics have been covered before, I apologize.

How much, if at all, do lyrics affect your playing a tune? Is it important to you to read the lyrics when learning a song, if you don't already know them? How important is it to know the history of the song; if it was written for a movie or play, what the movie/play was about? Or is the emotional content of the tune relayed to you through the notes sufficient?

Fixed it. Enjoy!

Hey Everyone,

I just found out that this video was posted on youtube of a gig I did last monday. This is one of my new projects. I recorded a cd with this singer. I play on 2 tracks on the album and here we are live with 11 band members on a small stage. I'm featured here with a short solo. so check it out. I'm in the back in the dark...

hope you like it!

Hi all,

Many of you know Gabe Globus-Hoenich as the drummer at many of Tony's vibe hangs. Lately, I've been doing some playing at his place. He sent me something we did about 2 months ago that I forgot about. It's an 11 minute marathon Speak Low. We had alot of fun playing it. Sometimes, I think it's good to just stretch out as far as you can, especially with guys that are going the distance with you. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, I like playing with these guys.

Behn Gillece- vibraphone
Jordan Berger- bass
Gabe Globus-Hoenich- drums

Updates for the PAL:

less vibrato on the keys (no more pitch bend)

tighter percussion track

include 442 (Sorry if I mixed up the titles on this....LMK if you find one that is backwards)

different keys

different speeds

Here's part three of the tune Blue Bossa. In this lesson we talk about creating simple lines.

Here's a quick note:

THE HANG IS HERE

The next vibe hang will be Novemeber 7th. I think we're going to have the vibe hang from University of Delaware. It will feature marimbist Casey Cangelosi, University of Delaware students (and Harvey) and hopefully Temple and Uarts student vibe players!

We'll a guest player of the wood pile (marimba!) Casey Cangelosi! He's a smokin' marimba player!!

Solar, Let's Cool One, Nica's Dream, My Romance, In A Mellow Tone

Dave Zoller - piano
Jonathan Fisher - bass
Andrew Griffith - drums
Dana Sudborough - vibes

Sorry for the poor sound quality. I just threw the recorder under the vibes and I was set up in front of the drummer so it distorts every now and again. Hope you enjoy it. I had fun getting schooled by these guys.
