Inspired by Marcel Pascual's beautiful arrangement of "I Remember You", I decided to learn it.
Somehow, it turned into a stride arrangement.

Hi Toni,

Any suggestions on which is the best way to move a MUSSER M55 on a plane ?

Thanks.

El Dia Que Me Quieras (C.Gardel) Patrice Guillon

I've pulled this 1988 CD out of the stacks in honor of this month's TOTM. It's a mix of standards and blues. Very nice listening! It has Hamp's version of "Someday My Prince Will Come", the TOTM we worked on in July. And best of all, there are about 33 copies available on Amazon, many being sold for as low as 35 cents plus postage. That's a deal and a steal!

Hi Vibes Lovers!

Sometimes when I'm looking for vibes albums I find that, altough the instrument is not very popular, or perhaps because of it, the vibraphone has especial atractive for the cover image. Bars, mallets, ressonators, frame, etc. are often protagonists of the picture, or ilustration. Sometimes is very artistic point of view, sometimes funny and sometimes just freak, but, even tough the important is the music wich is inside, I find amazing some covers!

Hope this is the appropriate place to post. I'm looking for a vibes player to add to a small jazz ensemble in northern Wisconsin. Probably from Stevens Point or north of there. I'm based in Vilas county but most gigs are from Wausau and north. Please contact me with any leads through my e-mail address pjsdrum@gmail.com . Thanks very much.

Here a beautiful ballad played with a marvellous group behind him. If you go on YouTube with that video there is the whole concert (all the tunes are of an incredible level). Quality sound and video, the guitar player is a blast too, and we can see and hear wery well how Joe is comping. A lot of inspiration and emotion. The video shows very well how they deal with a modern jazz sound, with effects, good PA etc...
Enjoy !

Just a bass line... I had Mark Przbalowski (our resident vibesworkshop bass player) just play a few choruses. So listen, can you here the changes in the bass line? Can you just follow the form by listening. Don't count or anything, just listen.

You can also use this as a play along.

sooo... like many folks on the east coast of the US, I spent the night awake wrestling with water that was determined to enter my house. Good news. I won. Through the night, people with dark senses of humor kept playing this song, so it was in my head. I have now put my music room back together and had to plug everything in to make sure it was working, so I made this silly recording. ...oh yeah, for those who know me, this is the first time I have played my vibes since I had the surgery, so it was cool that way too. I am fine. yay. :)
