Ok in the spirit of sharing and being an open community I thought I would share with you guys a new song I'm writing for my new album that I'll be recording in February. The song is not finished by any means but you can hear this early…
ok, so i just read where Tony says "i still don't understand why more players are not blogging here, posting examples of things they're working on. i'm clueless." so...I'm not shy, here's what i'm working on.
about a month ago, i…
We've restored and upgraded a great sounding M55 by among others putting it on our LW frame.
I hate to say, but this instrument turned out a killer instrument.
So much that we've decided to make this frame a standard M55 frame.
Here's another tune I wrote a couple of years ago. This one was inspired by watching the movie Casino Royale (the 1960's version). Hence the title and the feel of the tune.
This will take place 5pm Netherlands time, 11am East Coast U.S. time, 8am California time.
The next vibe hang Sunday February 7th, 2010!
Come hang with us, listen to all the participants from the workshop!!

I did a series on the tune 'The End of a Beautiful Friendship'. Here's Milt playing the tune. Milt smokes the tune, but check out Monty. OH MY GOD!! And Clarke Terry tears it apart as well!
A Beautiful Friendship - Milt ...
This is half of what I did for my Berklee Audition on the 16th. This is a rough run through I did today to test out a new video app on my phone (I have an Iphone 3g, so that means I have no video normally).
The other tune I did was…
Here is another track by the group Rare. I composed this song in a very political mood right after we started the war in Afghanistan. There is probably good reason why politics largely stay out of music (this song being a good example,…
Rare was a group I was in for approximately a year before it disbanded (I won't go into details, it's water under the bridge). I hadn't listened to these tracks since we recorded them at my house in 2004. We never got to release them…
Most of us voice from the bottom up, right? C maj 7, we hit the C and build up from there.
Try voicing from the top down. See the B or the D and then fill in the rest of the chord. It's not easy to switch, but it will REALLY help your…
I saw Zakir and Ustad Allah Rakha live and it was so frickin amazing.
Check how they sing the rhythms and then play them back on the tablas.
It's cool cause it's father and son playing! And they're both such monsters.
Susan Pascal is a subscriber on the site. I don't know much about her so I was crusing Youtube looking for stuff. I found this video of her. She takes a great solo over a Latin tune.
Do women play this instrument with more natural emotion then men?
This girl seems pretty young and pretty expressive in the piece. Seems like an intermediate student, but I saw something in the piece and then thought about other female…
Hey Everyone,
I have a gig with a Big Band in May and I have a meeting next week to discuss the repertoire. I was wondering if some of you guys might have some ideas for existing arrangements for Big Band with vibes. Ofcourse I'm thinking…
Joe Doubleday posted this on his FB account. I thought I'd post it here. Thanks Joe. Warren Wolf is a pretty BAD vibe player. Great 2 mallet chops, I think.
