Listen to this. I've given examples before. This works perfectly on the vibes. Can you imagine playing a jazz ballad with this 'style' of playing? There's so much to learn from Bach. He's figured it all out. So maybe the vibes are not…

Here's a lesson from a while back. I didn't dig it so I never posted. I didn't think I really did a good job Illustrating it. Maybe it's not so bad, but I think the idea is important. It's about role playing, thinking like you're a…

Barry was talking about preparing for a gig he might or might not do. It hit me while I was practicing. Every one should spend time 'preparing' for a gig. Even if you don't have one, or feel like you're not good enough. Whatever!!! When I…

I like to tinker with my instruments to get different effects. I used to put tacks on the hammers of my piano to get a honkey tonk sound (not good for your piano, though). John Piper joked about Tony putting spider egg sacs over his…

Here's a video of me playing the last movement of the 'Jazz Suite' by Richard Michael. It's mostly written out, but there are a few improvised sections I'm sure you can spot. It's pretty challenging technically and rhythmically, but a lot…

I was lucky enough to get along to Ronnie Scott's on Saturday night, to see an absolutely fantastic gig. I rushed over to catch the late show, (all the early tickets were sold out, unsurprisingly) and a packed out club was treated to some…

Sometimes I feel like the scare crow in the Wizard of Oz. Not because I feel I'm missing a brain but because i wish I was a sponge. I want the capability to immediately soak up all the information available for playing vibes. And I want it…

Austria Drei was the first group I produced. Werner Pirchner(malletts) and Harry Pepl(git) were just great creative guys and I loved playing with them so we made the Austria Drei LP. I think we did the recording in the winter of 1973.…

This is a post by Tarik: Another cut from my gig. It's pretty funny because we were subbing for a 13 piece latin band, which explains my little latin stint at the end of the tune. I did tell the audience that they should expect us to try…
