Nicely done... as expected.

This is a great book for the novice jazz vibist. Chords, and theory are presented in a clear manner.It is a very well planned, and organized book for vibraphone.This is a great place to start learning about jazz vibraphone.

useful

This book was helpful in some ways but it starts pretty hard and then really focuses only on ii-V-I progressions. It doesn’t really give many exercises to help with any other situations. It also doesn’t really address chords without 9ths and 13ths. Regular major, minor, and 7th are glossed over as too easy or too simple to deal with. I’m a trained percussionist and can read music and play 2 mallets ok…but my 4-mallet playing is pretty poor. After working on this book for a few weeks I’m still pretty confused. This seems to assume some higher baseline skills than I have. It just seems like jumps in logic are made and that players can just absorb chords instantly. I cannot. Maybe that’s my lack of ability… but just know that to get the most out of this book you have to be pretty darn good with reading, theory, 4 mallet grip, and jazz already.

the book is not base on the CD. you can learn ways to put and use voicing on your vibraphone.whether your interest is on have a good play along, buy one book of aebersold. here you can learn how to play open and close chords. that is the best. anyway. it's a book based on voicings and he only put a bunch. he could put way too much on it. but the ones he put in the book are great

Gute übersichtliche Erkärung und Darstellung zum Voicing und Comping auf dem Vibraphon. Ich denke, es richtet sich vor allem an Anfänger/Fortgeschrittene im Bereich Jazz Vibraphone.

For English speaking people: Chord progressions in Chapter 5Ballad=Here's That Rainy Day, Medium Swing=The Days of Wine and Roses, Fast Swing=All The Things You Are, Waltz=Bluesette, Bossa Nova=Wave, Samba=Blue Bossaコードの知識があれば前半の基本のところはわかっているので、練習用には使えるが目新しいことは書いてない。5章の練習曲はタイトルが書いてないが、文頭に書いた通りなので曲を知ってる人にはやりやすい。ただコード進行はオリジナルとは違うところもあるので、セッションでは臨機応変が必要だろう。練習曲のCDは、VibトリオのComping見本（楽譜通り、メロディー楽器は無し）とVib抜き（b,ds)の2つがついている。ただどの曲もパターンが類似していて、これがそのまま実際のCompingに使えるとはいえないと思うが、2種類のマイナスワンがあるので、それで色々練習するのにいいと思うし、テーマやソロの練習にも使えるからその点はよいと思う。CD付きで値段も手頃だし、英語がわからなくても楽譜を見ればある程度理解はできるだろうけど、理論を知らない場合は他の理論書などで補足は必要かもしれない。
