This is a video of a classical vibes player (a friend of mine, actually) playing Bach. He studied with the same teacher I did in Ukraine and has virtually made a living playing Bach on the vibes... and a good living at that. He is currently touring with a Latvian violiinst Gidon Kremer, who is very big in Europe.

He plays 'jazz' as well... but it is a more 'planned out' jazz than what most of us strive for.

He has a couple other videos up on youtube but the quality isn't very good.

Hello everyone,

I just added several more videos to YouTube. The clips are from a gig (outside of Chicago) which took place on April 20th, 2009. The band features: Rodrigo Villanueva - drums, Doug Stone - soprano and tenor sax, John Tate upright bass and me on vibes. The list of tunes include: Black Orpheus Part 1 & 2 along with my compositions The Healing, The Last Goodbye, Deep Hearts and Pure Spirit.

Attached are some more pages from the manual.

My favorite lick I think. Bird With Strings. Bird plays on the intro right before the head. I've always loved this line. I think I've mentioned it recently but here's the actual lick.

That album is really great.

Hey Tony,

I think this version is a litte better with keeping the time. I'll check my schedule and get back to you with a few nights this week. Let me know what you think! Thanks for the help!

Hey Tony,

This is my posting of the second version of the Stella Duet. I have a bunch of different recordings of both of them and think this is the best of the 2nd one. I tried to keep everything in the solo simple like we were talking about. I'll pick my favorite version of the first version and post that either tonight or tomorrow.
