Play alongs with BIAB can get you spoiled. Here's a playalong with just vibes accompaniment. Without the bass and drums you have to pay more attention to the time.

There is an 8 bar intro, then 4 choruses of the tune plus a special ending. Use your ear to figure out the ending, both the melody and the chord. A leadsheet pdf is attached if you don't have a copy of the tune.

Hello Community,

Here are two videos of a gig i played last friday, It was in Wilhelmshaven, Germany with my Trio, the "Tonal Nord Trio".

The tunes are Tennesse Waltz and David Friedmans Midnight Star in a Trio Arrangement. Hope you like it.

Kurt's thoughts on playing solo on the guitar definitely apply to the vibes. Especially some of the beginning comments.

Check out when he talks about how he works on voicings.

Imagine playing a standard like this. You know what I mean? The concept of this piece I think lends itself to solo playing. The two voices. Something we can do on the vibes just as easily as can be done on the guitar.

Folks the spiritual leader of this site is now on Wikipedia. Many of you know him better than I do so please feel free to either suggest edits or just make them....

Hi Everybody,

I'm doing a very special vibraphone workshop as part of a marimba duo workshop in a beautiful castle in Poland from the 22nd till the 29th of April. We still have some spaces available. It'll be intense and intimate.
Everybody lives, eats and studies in the castle. I'm really looking forward to it. If you're interested, contact: marimbaduo@gmail.com
