Mark, Mike & Pat - Check The Vibes, Y'all - Tuesday, April 18th
An evening of musical improvisation and conversation between three instruments:
Vibraphone - Mark Hundevad
Guitar - Mike Glendon
Sax - Pat Smith
This is a magical performance that has returned after being mostly snowed out in February. Press is a terrific environment for intimate, nuanced performances like this. You can feel the vibraphone as well as hear it.
What's a Vibraphone?
One of the main differences between the vibraphone and other keyboard percussion instruments is that each bar suspends over a resonator tube containing a flat metal disc. These discs are attached together by a common axle and spin when the motor is turned on. This causes the instrument to produce its namesake tremolo or vibrato effect.
