Hello all,
My third "How to Play Vibes Like" video is going to focus on Bud Powell, one of my favorite pianists whom I have studied the most. There's a lot that us vibes players aren't able to compete with Bud Powell on -- our range is limited, we have fewer notes, he has two fully independent hands, etc. However, in these videos I'll try and show you what exactly I think we can translate over -- whether we have to change it a bit or keep it identical -- so that we can add some new devices to our collective skillset as vibraphonists.
#21 of Friedman's book. I like the three jazz etudes.

Still time to sign up! We have a decent sized class so this will be fun!
"Misty" - a little quick video that I recorded for an online private vibe student I was working with. We were working on solo playing using voicings as the basis of the solo interspersed with runs. The voicings are comprised of open and closed voicings usually connected by a melodic line in the top voice. It makes for a full sound and nice groove.
