Hi guys!!

That´s a tune of mine called "N-634" (it´s the name of one of most important roads of the north of Spain). It has been recorded by Paraphernalia Cuarteto, an acoustic quartet whose I belong. We will present the CD the last week of February, and, obviously, I would like to share with all you. I hope you like and write your impressions about that. Have you a good day guys.

Just found this on the web. Tony is looking so young....

Hello everyone,
Check out this review I accidentally found on the internet.
thanks

listen to this guy play. listen to the first couple bars. you can tell he's a great young player, right? his phrasing i think is right on. has a little terry gibbs maybe in? i dug his playing.

Had never heard this little gem. Tough for me to play. Ver 1 plays the 4 chords of the bridge as closed as possible. Want to compare to opening them up per Tony's suggestions.
Also, added a good external microphone to my Audacity recording setup. Seems to bring a good improvement in sound quality.

This post is in response to Tony's plea for members to post more. So if you don't like it, blame Tony.

A brief rendition of the classic "Over The Rainbow" that utilizes harmony from Keith Jarrett's beautiful version. The arrangement features a modulation from Eb to F to Db. For a copy of the arrangement (melody and harmony), here's the link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113437494/Over-the-Rainbow-Reharm-Modulation

Here's an etude on footprints. I came from an improv I recently on the mallet kat. Check out the some of the harmony shifts. Sort of substitutions I guess. I displaced things, messed with the time.

I give myself goals of walking up to an instrument and doing something. One shot. Of course if it sucked I wouldn't have turned it into an etude. I think this one is cool. I think it's a really study in voicings and lines and manipulated the modes of the tune.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to reach out and wish a great 2014 to all the members and supporters of vibesworkshop. We started off the year with a tremendous vibes congress in NJ, and I'm looking forward to the things we do on this site in the coming year.
