Hey everyone.

I wanted to report that I just had some Yamaha bars retuned by Bill Youhass at Fall Creek Marimba, and I am very pleased! i think Bob Leatherbarrow had posted about this, so thanks for the tip Bob.

I sent my 442 bars, and had them retuned to 440 (so I no longer own 442 bars - yes, finally... they make no sense in the US). Comparing Bob's 440 tuning with my other factory-tuned 440 Yamaha bars, they are much smoother. Much more in tune with themselves, with less peculiar artifacts.

I highly recommend Bill's tuning skills!

Hi U of Del Students,

Tony has asked me to assign one of my etudes for you to work on. Here is a link to my etude on How Deep Is The Ocean:

It doesn't have to be perfect, but work on it and try to get it close to tempo. This etude will help you with ideas for lines. You can listen to my version of it, as well as the other members who have posted it.

U Del,

Here is your first assignment for the Trimester. @Harvey, pick the due date, ok?

and I'll include links to all our TOTMs for How Deep Is the Ocean (TOTM = Tune of the Month).

Also here is a look to the Vbook section where we have most of the TOTM Click here.

Hey guys,

I know it's a little late for a Valentines Day thing but I recorded this the other day and figured I'd share it regardless. I hope everyone is doing well!

As usual, I tried to make it 'mine' (mistakes included!). Well the key is surely not mine! Haha! But I couldn't work another one! This tune was awesome to work on! Thanks guys for all the lessons, posts, versions, inspiration! (to be followed)...

ps: I noticed the balance is much better when you listen with a earphone than with speakers.

Hey Friends. I recently released a new album of original music featuring the vibraphone. I recorded it in Denver with some killer musicians. You can check it out here

Let me know what yall think!

Thanks

Have you guys heard the album, Coltrane's Sound? I just recently became privy to it. It's cool. Trane superimposes his changes on some standards as well as plays a few of his originals. It's quickly becoming my favorite Trane album.

This is the first take of Body and Soul on the album (there are two)

P.S. The whole album is on youtube...
