another mix i just finished for the duo. the piece is written by the sax player rüdiger scheipner...again a ballad :)

Guys, here's another solo vibe clip that I added to my YT solo vibraphone channel. I'm hoping to add a few more here and there when time permits. Ed

Hi everyone,

I just got copies of my new album today, "Top Shelf." Here is a link of Ken Fowser and I discussing this project:

I'm really excited about this new recording! It features a great band with Michael Dease on trombone, Steve Einerson on piano, Dezron Douglas on bass, Rodney Green on drums, and co-led with Ken Fowser on tenor saxophone. I have audio clips on my website, www.behngillecejazz.com

Hello All,

Has anyone out there used the Bose L1 Compact Portable Line Array System (or the other models in the line) to amplify the vibraphone? I am planning to purchase the AMT VP-2 microphone system and consequently need to move away from my current Peavy keyboard amplifier.

I want the easiest thing to carry into the gig. I work with a singer who brings in her Bose L1 with considerable ease and is ready to go in 5 minutes when the gig is done. I am envious!

Thanks,

Jerry Weir

This is the A section of the tune. David Friedman wrote this out 2 yrs ago at Holland Workshop and I am having a go at it. One or two dodgy notes. Comments welcome

Hey,
Just got my vibes back and finished it. Sory for the mistakes....
NExt TOTM lesson? Maby next week?

Anyone have any suggestions for a mallet that I can use to bend notes that isn't a plastic xylophone mallet? I'd love to be able to incorporate some of that stuff into my solo playing without having to hold a xylophone mallet the entire time.

Last week end, Philippe Macé organised a vibes workshop/concerts in Paris, with him as teacher but also with David Friedman and Emmanuel Séjourné. Philippe is a member here and even participated in one of our European Winter workshops in Sassenheim. He's directing the conservatory of the 11th district of Paris.

Unfortunately I couldn't attend the lessons during the week end and I even missed meeting David :-(, but I came and say hi on Friday after my work, during the first lesson with Philippe. Of course this was a new opportunity to talk about the site to some young students! ;-)
