hey everyone. so many blessings have been happening for me in Oregon. I am excited to say that im back playing vibes full time,with only minor hand pain. so i thought i would post a track from the regular wednesday gig i have here in Medford Oregon .. the sax player on these gigs is Mr. Bud Berlingeri who was with Louie Prima's band before Sam Butera .. Bud is 84 and swinging hard ..

hope you all enjoy .. chops are kind rusty .. so will post more when i remember to bring my zoom recorder out ...

This is a beautiful tune that Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden have recorded. It seems to adapt well to solo vibes too.

There is also a recording by Itzhak Perlman with full orchestra. It's on youtube.

Hi there

Fairly new on here, hoping to get busy soon... moving to vibes from (but not excluding) woodwinds, so serious learning curve likely in some areas...

I was quite lucky in acquiring a small gigging vibe- vintage, not everyone's first choice. Sounds great, though. I'm in England, and bought the vibes from a brilliant US vendor ... and they made it here, despite our 'Royal' Mail (USPS were fine).

I hope I did OK. Feedback is welcome so I know on what to work.

greetings
Stefan

here´s a more serious try on the malletkat. i didn´t spent to much time to play hip solos but i tried to use some sounds i liked.

...just thinking out loud and letting ya'll know what I'm up to at the moment.

I've been sight reading every day for the last month or so. I just print 6 or 8 pages of a solo or something I find online, turn on a metronome and go.

To make a very long story shorter, the past month of my life has been CRAZY trying to find a new place to live, and practicing has unfortunately fallen on the wayside in the process (but I've been working on Rhythm Changes when I can...I'll record and post my final sometime this weekend!).

Messing around with the flute sound. So I gave myself 30 minutes to do something with it. You know the tune.
