"Finally it happened, the Sultanate of Oman has got the blues. These are five Ladies from the Diwan I teach. They started playing percussion one year ago and have never heard any blues or jazz music before. So we did all the singing stuff and so on, as Tony has showed it at the Limerick and Sassenheim workshops. That's the result."

Remember: I talk about bass lines in the top part of the chord. I do know that technically that's not a bass line. But there's something that a bass line does rhythmically (besides the low part of the chord) that helps the time. And I think you can put that anywhere.

DON'T POST ANYTHING UNTIL THIS MESSAGE GOES AWAY. WE'RE MIGRATING TO A NEW SERVER, AND WE'LL LEAVE THIS SITE UP. BUT NO POSTS WILL CARRY OVER.

With all the talk about transcribing solos or not. I personally think this is pretty cool. And I get the feeling this cat digs doing this. And on recorder!!!

Hey Vibes players!

I'm looking for music played with this formation, for take ideas for playing with this kind of trio. Anyone knows good albums or players who have done it?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but...

On the Milt Jackson CD titled "Sa Va Bella" there is a great tune called "Blues For Queen D" that I'm learning.

Does anyone know of a play-along track for that song anywhere? Also can this be a Tune of the Month?

Thanks, Karl

I got this link from my friend Corey... Wow!! Funky Hamp!! :o)

Guys, as you may know James Whiting is our main Australian vibist and at hardly 20 he just released a beautiful and deep album of his own compositions (btw, Joe Locke wrote a very nice introduction on it): http://www.jameswhiting.com.au/albums-burbank/

But here are two new links from his recent gig... both being covers:
- Ruminations (by Joe Locke): see above.
- Hope (by Ed Saindon): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyTGG2tpOgw&feature=player_embedded

Hello,

today I would like to present one of the most underrated german/european vibes player: WOLFGANG SCHLUETER!

I took some clips of him on his latest concert. The clips have been recorded May 27th, 2011 at Birdland Jazzclub in Hamburg. WOLFGANG SCHLUETER is 78 years old (!) at that time and beside this he is nearly blind!!! But he does not care about both and is still playing UNBELIEVABLE!
