Phew, it doesn't end. The semester is over which is great and I should be chilling for a few days, but Sharon's grandfather is 101 years old and we have to head to Texas and clean out his house which is sold monday. So I thought I'd get a…
Here's some ideas to get started categorizing your material when your just starting out to play vibes:
1. Technique / Theory
A: Study the major scales and arpeggios(triads, 6th chords and 7th chords)
B: Study the dorian mode and minor 7…
This is something completely different.
I imagine some or many of you won't like it, but I want to tell you about it and the process.
I love it, it's a group called Symbiosis and we just get together with our synths and play free…
Hi all!
I've been working on What A Difference A Day Made for quite a long time already - here is what came out - many flaws of course, but heck it's a practice tape and I am an amateur.
Critics welcome, cheers STE
I think I've told a couple of people that Pat Metheny is one of my favorite musicians/composers of all time. (I know its crazy). I just think his tunes lay really well with a percussion ensemble. I don't really want to sound like him,…
Hi All,
In Newsweek online, there's an article call "Jazz is Dead. Long Live Jazz" (see http://www.newsweek.com/id/226331). I'm not sure I can decode a coherent message from the article, but one of the comments seems to be about the…
Man we had a great vibe hang today! Great players and great music! It seemed like we had the whole world together. I counted France, Netherlands, Germany, USA, China and Australia. Pretty cool huh?
It's like we have this growing community…
Ok More Symbiosis. I just thought I'd post it for something different. It's definitely trippy music. All Electronic. The thing to remember is Steve Giordano, John Swana and Bob Meashey are all musicians with huge ears, so this is a cool…
HELLO EVERYBODY. I AM FINISH (FOR NOW) MY PRACTISE ON COMPING IN ALL KEYS AND I START 2-3 WEEKS AGO CHORD SOLO AND SIMPLE BEBOP LINES IN ALL KEYS IN DIFFERENT PROGRESSIONS. SO FOR MY PRACTISE IT CAME THIS LICK. I THINK SOLO IN ALL KEYS IS…
Here's another chord study on Beautiful Love changes.
Here are the steps I think you need to do to make this effective.
1. Analyze the chords against the original changes. The roots are the same even if they are not there. So analyze…
Here's a chord study based on the tune Beautiful Love.
Here are the steps I think you need to do to make this effective.
1. Analyze the chords against the original changes. The roots are the same even if they are not there. So analyze…
Hi everybody! Here goes another Joe Locke piece. Don't worry it is going to be the last one for a while... I totaly love the version of Terzani on "Sticks and Strings" - We tried our own interpretation with two contrasting solo parts...…
So Joe Doubleday has been talking about Mics and Pics on Facebook to me. So I thought I'd start a discussion.
I think they both have there place and both are useful. For me mics come first, pick-ups second. The sound will dramatically…
(Tune by Geoffrey Keezer)
Hi everybody! As most of us I got a crush on the Joe Locke repertoire!!!! Tulipa is my favourite tune from the fantastic "Live in Seattle" record. At the Jazz Baltica festival in 2007 I asked Geoffrey Keezer to…
Here is my simple arrangement to "My One and Only Love". At some point I will study Tony's Etudes (links above), but I wanted to start on my own.
I played an octave higher than written. Do you think it sounds too high or piercing?
What…
Hi All,
This was from a gig back in April of this year. In addition to me on vibes, there's Doug Sondak on alto, Steve Conahan on bass and Ed Conley on drums. Bit of a train wreck on the ending, unfortunately. I thought the sax player…
One of our members from Australia will be in Philadelphia for a few days, so I thought we should set up a vibe hang!
Who's going to play? Come on! How about some new people as well as the veterans!
