Hi All,
Want to know what is happening in October on Good Vibes radio? Of 19 tunes only four are standards. Three are reharmonizations of Lennon/McCartney and Stevie Wonder. The remaining 12 are newer contemporary compositions (eight of those were written by the performing musicians).
When I hear people say that good jazz is no longer being written, I ask them to please listen to my show. And when I hear people wondering about "where jazz is going," I tell them the same.

A Saito Vibraphone in good working condition. Need a bar from the muffler to the Sustain bar but I can get one made or you could do it yourself and take some $ off the price.

It comes with its own pack and go case on wheels.

Email for more information.

Located in Baltimore MD
Thanks.

Here is a simple chord melody for the TOTM, "Summertime." This is an ideal etude for beginners who are trying to grasp playing with 4 mallets and doing chord melodies. I've deliberately left it fairly simple, although I put in a few challenging measures to introduce mallet dampening and a few interesting voicings. Hope this helps!

Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since I visited the site. SHAME ON ME ! I know.

I thought I would come back out of Holiday end of July, and then continue to work on playing, and I started on doing so, but I just couldn't keep up.

As of Yesterday I have a new job ! Last week I still was a productionplanner in a assembly factory, as of this week I'm a teacher.
I teach sound and lightning technics in my hometown's highschool.(In my previous life I was a technician in theater)

You can check this out. I included an mp3 of a synth vibe playing the etude. It's a good study for beginners and intermediate players.

YOU write in the chords and analyze everything!

This was taken from the concert announcement. The Premiere is on Sept. 8th in Linz, Austria.

Performed by Bruckner Orchester Linz / Dennis Russell Davies

I am selling my beautiful Musser M55 pro vibe. It is an incredible instrument in great shape:

- Frame is sleek and not dinged up
- Motor is working
- In tune
- Felt is new
- String is new

The resonators are the lest appealing cosmetically, but could be easily refinished with a fresh powder coat.

This is a professional instrument in great shape. I live in the Denver area, but I will ship!

Would feel great to see it go to a loving owner!

For the TOTM Tony mentioned that there was a bunch of Summertime stuff already on the site, so I figured it might be good to get it all together in one post. If anyone finds anything else, feel free to add it.
