More ideas for getting familiar with the diminished scale and ideas for lines.

This etude is similar to the first. It's a little faster, and most of the voicings have been adjusted to nice, wide, open voicings. Very conducive to solo vibes playing!
hey,
this is a simple tune i wrote recently and recorded as a solo vibes piece.
hope you like it.

Clip of Mark and I playing Henry Mancini's great song "The Days of Wine and Roses". Taking after Bill Evans' great version, we play the first half of the tune in F and then modulate to Ab for the 2nd half. I like doing this. It feels like it gives a lift to the tune. Bill does this also with Like Someone in Love. He was a master of playing standards in unusual keys and various modulations.
I love Mark's comment at the end of the clip. Other clips from the gig are up on YT and include All The Things You Are, Darn That Dream, Body and Soul, Topsy and Wave.
Similar to the first, but all open voicings.
