Hey malleteers,
We haven't had a lively discussion here at the Vibes Workshop for a week or two, so it's time to bring up a couple of perennials: Grips and Sticking. Let's start with Grips and get into sticking maybe next week.

I started working on One Note Samba by Jobim. I am happy with my arrangement of the A section, but the bridge is 8th note scales and sounds thin. On the first note, I play root/5th to fill it out a little (where the 5th is the first note…
John Brought this video up in another Warren video I just posted.
Check this out. This is a cool video. Warren is on the street, jamming. 2 mallets and he plays like he's on stage somewhere.
I think the playing is really good, and I'm…
I play in a band called Monkadelphia and we're making a new CD. This is one of the tracks that most likely will not go on the cd because it's on our last one. Although I want to put it on this one also. The last one was actually a melody…

I did a great gig last night with my mentor, Larry Mckenna. I took a shot of what we see when we play. It's an art museum and it's really a fun gig. The sound man is really good, so the sound is good for a room this large. Here's a photo…
Today I took Bud Powell, NHOP and I forget the drummer on my walk. These walks are great for me because I get to listen to a whole cd and I get exercise both of which I don't do enough of.
