On Sunday I had a jam with vibes, accordion, and guitar. We were trying to get an Art Van Damme sound.

This is the first time we got together.

Here is the first tune we did, Here's That Rainy Day.

I"m doing a recording in Dusseldorf with David Friedman. We decided to make it a sort of live concert. But we'll only invite 20 people I think. Any VW members interested? Gonne be around Dusseldorf? Now sure if they are charging to tickets, I think they might be.

Let me know if you want to come? The audience will be in the recording studio with us. Matthais says there is room.

The recording is Monday, November 26, probably starting around 7 PM.

What's up vibesworkshop? As many of you know, I am up in Philly studying with the man himself, Tony Miceli. Tony and I spend a good deal of our lesson time in conversation about the instrument, music, and life. He asked me to start a blog and discuss things that I am working on and some concepts I use while arranging and playing. So this is entry numero uno. And I wanted to talk about arranging.

Does anyone have any suggestions of albums for guitar/vibes duos? I've been listening to Ralph Towner/Gary Burton and I'm looking for some other groups to listen to.

(Note from Tony) - my students have to do lessons each semester and submit them on the site. Sangwon speaks much better Korean than English so he's doing his lesson in Korean.

another danny boy version played on vibes and m-kat simultan. unfortunatley still with wrong notes but it was my best try. i think one could really make up nice solo things with this setup but it takes a lot of practice...
