[Big_Rob]

I was looking thru the Craigslist instruments for sale and came across someone wanting a Vibraphone. so I did a you tube search and found this.

This guy plays pretty well. It looks like it wouldn't be too much harder than playing a piano cause the note pattern is the same, I just cant see controlling 4 mallets

The vibraphone is the essence of cool.

Did you stumble on any of Milt Jackson's stuff in your search? Here's some vids of him with the Modern Jazz Quartet:
