Ok, my computer could just manage to edit this video.

This is a backstage view from an opera I play in at the moment. Vibes and Drums.
So what I do here is the big(or one of) switch!

this is what I do in just a matter of seconds....

- count 20 bars rest(not all on video)
- play a fast line on vibes
- switch to drums in 2 bars
- put on snares on snare drum(sometimes I forget...haha)
- watch the conductor
- play some hip hop groove
- play some accents and fill heavily
- break on the last sixteenth of 2nd beat

ok, one more for now. Good Old On Green Dolphin Street...

And another one, just sharing.. been a while since I played this tune...

Here is another track from my trio gig. Just Friends.

Here is another track from the trio gig I did recently. Hope you like it. Oh yeah, I have video of this, but for now my computer can't handle video editing. So I'll post that later. Then you'll see my mind was somewhere else in the intro so I missed it the first time.

Also the audio is a little off, so sorry for that...

FYI: this gig is totally unrehearsed and we just selected some tunes. So everything is happening in the moment so that's pretty cool.

Man Red did it before Hendrix, and Kiss!

Terry emailed me and ask me to post this comment he has:

Hi Tony,
Once again I got a thought and don't know how to post it so I will do it through you. I was looking at the video of the subject "Using bebop Dominant over suspended chords"

I just saw this on ebay and thought it was interesting. The lower bars on this Ludwig & Leedy vibraphone have double resonators.

Here is a lick Tony showed me at our last lesson. We were talking about minor blues and connecting chords with scales. Learning this lick in all keys is a cool way to get a feel for putting different scales together in a cohesive line. This lick uses aeolian, dorian, locrian, and altered scale.
Thanks,
G

Can anyone suggest good vibes and bass duo recordings?

I'm all ears :)
