So I just finished the first chorus of Bill Evans's solo on Nardis from his Blue in Green Live album. It took me about 3 hours to get it right. I think that is a pretty long time for one chorus, although the solo is pretty challenging and…

Hi Tony, I've been thinking about the problem of the amount of labor it takes to run this site, and it occurred to me that we could probably help you out with some of the non-vibes-playing aspects of maintaining things. I don't know where…

One more version of Woody. This is slower. I've been still practicing it and trying to keep the tempo on the slow side and keep from rushing.

Anyone know about the scene in New York? I'm planning on going there either this summer or fall. I'm not going to be in a university. I was just wondering about the logistics of it. You know, I'm either going to have to get a ground…

Dimitri (JIM THE VIBES) is one hard working cat. He blows me away with his work ethic. And he plays great and is getting better and better. I know he works hard with everything on the site and he says it helps him, so he's a testiment for…

For the "veterans" of thevibe.net, do you remember Polish born vibist Les Blachut? I have a good memory of a pleasant and funny guy, his six mallets theory (and practice!) and of that fun picture of him holding 8 mallets! Ha! :o) He…

I recorded a version of Over The Rainbow tonight. So here it is. This is the second time I played this tune. Normally I feel that it's better to learn a tune from cd and work it out a while to really get it down, but I wanted to post…
