Hi,

Yes, a jazz player will usually add tensions to the chord as well as play various types of chord voicings. Some voicings may be closed (smaller than an octave) while others may be open. I think if you study some jazz theory and harmony with a piano teacher or pickup a book, that would be very helpful. Good luck with the vibes.

hi,

great playing, and i have a question a bit off topic. i play jazz vibes also but i just got started this year. I know it's important to use different for chords, but is it a given that a jazz musician will always use a voicing and not play the straight chord? what if you are sight-reading a piece? thanks

Hello Richard,

I'm doing well here. I hope you are as well. Glad you enjoyed the video. I use a Technics electric piano. The sound and action are pretty good.

Best, Ed

Mr. Saindon I've been a fan for a long time. I'm a vibes player (amateur) in Iowa City. Your playing is marvelous and I've learned a great deal from your videos. I hope to meet up sometime.

Hi,

It's nice to hear that you're enjoying the videos. Let me know if you come through Boston at any point in the future.

Hi,

Thanks. Bobby Timmons and Red Garland is a nice compliment. Both those guys both had a great time feel.
