It's interesting going on Youtube and listening to vibe players around the world.

I'll hear a player that is the top player in this country or that country.

For me though sometimes those players don't shine. I like the guys who know the language and can quote. So after listening to a bunch of players from different parts of the world this came on. Dave Pike is a great player in my book. He really has a vocabulary and history of the music.

I have a version of this piece and love it.

Great to hear MJQ playing it. I didn't know they played it!

I always was a fan of Teddy Charles. You guys know him? Check him out!

I find it interesting that one person gets credit for something and then as you look deeper into it you find others doing the same thing. You might think the Wright Bros invented the plane and then you look around and find others around the world doing the same thing. In fact sometimes the guy who got there first doesn't get the credit.

When I heard this I thought sounds like Gary Burton. But it's Mike Mainieri. Also for me the next track up was Gary Burton playing General Mojo's Well Laid Plan. Still sounded like Mainieri for a moment then it was obvious it was Gary.

I think this is so well written for the instruments! Some times I hear composed or arranged pieces and think that the composer really doesn't know the instrument.

This is a classical piece. I really think the Anders Kopel understands the instruments. I don't know much about the classical repertoire for the vibes so bare with me. However I thought this was great playing, MEMORIZED(!!!) and composed well.

Wow! Someone I think put some time into this.

It's a great bluesy solo that looks messy on paper! Great job writing all that down. I don't know if I would even know how to write it all down!
