The recordings came in and the truth is revealed. The band sound lovely! Speaking only for my own part, here is what I heard. 1. The vibes sound nice when I'm playing melodies and solos etc. Nothing too fancy, but the playing is expressive. 2. However, comping on the vibes can easily sound like clangourous bells! Next rehearshal I will bring a volume pedal to bring it down in the mix. And I will try comping on the marimba behind the soloists as well. Today, I'm going to warmup with the usual technical regime followed by playing the heads on the following tunes from my memorised list. 1. Summertime 2. Satin Doll 3. Autumn Leaves 4. Blue Bossa 5. I got Rhythm 6. St. Thomas 7. Blue Monk 8. All the things you are 9. It don't mean a thing 10. Body and Soul

I'm always reminded how playing with classic recordings tightens up the time and feel. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
