About vibraphone
When becoming chief-tuner at the Deagan company in 1925, he designed the first vibraphone with aluminum bars and a damper-system (by Mervin Jones) Thisparticular model 145 was introduced in 1927. Later in 1948 he became the chief-designer at the Deagan company, and stayed untill his dead in 1971.
It looks like a xylophone that has metal bars instead of wooden. The speciality of the vibraphone - also called vibes - is its vibration sound. This vibrato is made by metal disks that periodically open and close the tubular-resonators, so that a vibrato results. They are animated by a electric motor. Ancestors of the vibraphone did not have this vibrato-effect. They called metalophones. Today their name is 'metallophone'. The metal bars have a longer sound than wooden bars, they have to be damped. This can be done by the player's mallets or hand. But usually the notes are damped with a pedal. The normal range of the vibraphone is f4 to f7 (f to f'''). Some special vibes have a range of c4 to c8 (c to c''''), because some composers demand such a range.

Hello Richard, glad to be here and be associated with your fine musicianship. Thanks! Best. Billy.
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Barbara Carroll On Piano Jazz
Pianist and singer Barbara Carroll was host Marian McPartland's second guest during the first season of Piano Jazz. Thirty years later, Carroll makes a return appearance to reminisce with her friend about their experiences at the Hickory House and the Oak Room. Carroll gives a charming performance of "Very Early" and McPartland improvises a musical portrait of her guest.Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight
The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.Chris Potter Quartet On JazzSet
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
