A. Mallet Dampening
\\'hen using mallet dampening, any note can be dampened
with either the same mallet that strikes the bar or any
other mallet lt is extremely important that any mallet used lor
dam'pening should slide onto the bar tr,u, i, u.i"g
Canpened without making any contact sound. If the dampening
mallet hits the bar with too much f'orce, it willsound
as lhough the note is being restruck rather than being oampenea.
Good dampening tecrrnique allows the player to
strike a note and then dampen it without hearing the dampening
mallet strike the bar.
I Learning to slide the dampening mallet into the bar is the firsr srep in
dampening. I he dampening malletslides
irom the nodal point (the point at which the chord goes through the bar away
from the player)towards thecenteroI
the har Bv the tirne the mallet reaches the center ol the bar th. nnt.
shoLrld already he clampened. The amount ol
Dressure needed for the dampening mallet to stop the bar vibrating
will vary according to the instrumenr you,re
nlaring, rhe type of malret you're using, and your own physical strength.

B. How To Use T'he Pedal

- -: : -'c¿ ' cn the Vibraphone is the means by which notes can be sustained. It is the most basic way of phrasing on
::: :!::*::'eri I described in the beginning of section I that the pedal is depressed with the right
foot which is
:.::':::':'-3rrghtedgeof thepedalsothatonlythetipofyourlootistouchingtirepedal.Thepedalshouldbeabout
:': I':'-j.r3s a':ore the l'joor. The pedal is attached to a metal rod that is connecteJ to
a felt dampener bar that sits
:3:''¿:r :he bars' When the pedal is depressed the dampener bar moves down and the bars are free to vibrate. When
::':::jal is released the danlpener bar moves back up under the bars and stops them from vibrating.
l:: ilrst important point to keep in mind when pedaling is to only press the pedaldown far enough
so that the
l¿:s ¿:: abie to ring' Don't get into the habit of pressing the páaldown
to the floor -- this is a waste of energy and has
:': :i:ecl or the sound of the bars ringing. The iurthe. yo, pr.r, the pedal
down, the longer it will take for it to return
:-' ;anpen the bars' This will increase the possibility áf notes
ringing or fusing together.
The second important point is that pedal is used for phrasing
and noi foi time-keeping. Most drummers
ra"; a hard time learning how to pedal musically because
of the leaÁed reflex between.their feet and hands.

C. After pedaling
-
There are a number of different ways of pedaling-the first and mosr obvious
is pressingthe pedaldown as you
strike a note' This type of pedaling is used often, but in and oi itself will not ena
ble you ,o get a consistent clean sound
u here the notes don't ring together. Even with the dampener
bar up (pressed against the bars) there is still a certain
amount oi ring that each ba,r has. If you remember back to some of the pieces earlier
in this section there was no
pedal being used' but even s!, each bar had a certain amount of resonance.
Now play the following chromatic scale.

As you can tell by now, there are a lot of diflerent possible pedaling combinations for any one piece. Take the
etudes from the beginning part of Section i and play them with different pedalings. You can also take the four mailet
etudes and practice them with different pedalings.

Guide Tones
of the four notes in a 7th or 6th chord, the thi¡d and the seventh (or sixth,
asthe clse may be] are the most important. It is these two notes that
determine
the quality of the chord. Notice that the 1st

chords are the same notes

Section II

Sticking and Pedaling


The art of strcking is a technique that deserves careful study. It is one of the lundamental roots underlying
high
;'-al,tr performance. There is a lot of confusion regarding how to choose the best sticking. Most mallet players have
b:en rngrained rr'it h the rdea of always using alternate stickings (right-left, right-teft, etc.). There is nothin! wiong with
alt:rna¡e strcking as long as it's not the only alternative that you have. A more, well-rounded upprou.h *ould be to
have the capabiirt-v" of choosing from a number of different sticking possibilities according to aparticular musical
setting rather than only having one choice for every situation. Scales are a good starting poini for developing a
nu n ber o i d ifferent sticking alternatives. M ost of the motion in the mallet and the arm in playing
scales happens when
\.or-: move fróm the natural keys to the accidentals or vice versa. An E
flat major scale is.goá4.*u*pi..
If ¡ou play this scale (with mallets #l and #3) you'll certainly notice a lot of arm and mailet motion between t.he
r.a:urais and the flats
#8A Eb major scale
*¡ R 1,R LItL R

3l:tl 31 3i
*Throughout the book I have included
both stickings and mallet numbers. In most musicthat you will encounter therewill be
eilher no stickings indicated or an occasional L or R. By including both stickings (L & R) and mallet numbers you *,ill become
accuslomed to both systems. An L will always refer to mallet
fl3 and an R wiil always refer to mallet fl.

A. Double Sticking
\o w try the same scale with the following sticking.
B'. oou bling the F and G plus the C and D with the right hand you've eliminated all the motion between rhe natural
anC lhe accidentals. Another advantage with this sticking is that it enables you to play in the center of each bar more
easiil.

each note. This example combines a B flat dorian

I

QtlE5TiOi'l \{hat is the basic concept behind this technique? l

ANSWI R The basic concept l¡ehind this technique is to play the melocly note on lop ancl fill in the rest of tlre
chord underneath. You can do this two ways. One way is to play a chord with every melody note;
this is called "Block Style". A second way of cloing this is to play a chord only when a nelv one
I
comes up; this is called "Comping Style".

quESTroN How should I practice this exercise?


ANSWER There are two examples that I will play. First I will perlorm, in Block 5tyle, the first eight rneasures
of GOIN'OUT OF MY HEAD. Then I wilt play it in Comping S11,l*. ¡,¡"*r,pracrice both styles as
they appear on this page, without the record. Then when yáu feel conrfortable with theá play
along with the orchestra accompaniment provided.
lf you want to play songs in block or comping style first work thcm out on your own arrr.l then
pilay them along with the band, On the second side of the recorrl this opporrunity
will be made
available to you.

Exercise Eight-Group I I I
COMPING FOR OTHER SOLOISTS
( Using Counter-Melodies)

QUESTION what is a 'counter-merody?' rf it is a merody


how can you accompany a merody with a merody?
ANSWER First' a counter-melody is a very simple melody whi,ch
is created from the original melody. lf a
countér-melody is created with good taste it will
not dltract from ihe main melody but enhance it.
This way both melodies can be ieard at the same
time but your attent¡on is mainly on the original
melody.

QUESTTON How can you create a counter-melody?


ANSWER The same concept used. in exercise three applies
here. Reread the techniques used for that exercise.
The only difference is that you must keep i tornt.r-r.lody
very simple and make it blend wirh the
meiody of the song you are praying. you do not
have to pray in every measure.
QUESTTON How should I practice this exercise?
ANSWER First listen to me play the counter-melody written
on the top staffs. Then the second qxample in
this exercise wiil have rhe orchesrra prayiÁg ihe
is where you can play the one I performá¿
merody without ,. o,rrir, ;':ffi;.r';:ilay.

Every chord in a song belongs to (or comes fronr) a scale. I you are improvising and you do not
e
lvant to take your material from the melody or the chords
use any the noLes in tlre scales lhat belong t.o the chorcls, fo
we l'ravc [,rcen doing, it is possiLrle to e
Io ¡¡aterial.
-oí tr
QUEsTION f'low do you find the scales that go with the clrords of the song? €
AN5}VER If the chord is a major chord use that major scale: Ex: Eb maior chorcl---use an Eb major scale
etc' lf it is a dominant seventh chord then use the tonic chorcl that belongs to it, Example: Ab7
p
belorrgs to the key (scale) of Db. You can find the tonic by going up a peÉect tourth from the
dominant seventh. lf the chord is a minór chord (including sevenths), Example.: Ebm7, then use
s
that natural minor scale but, raise the sixth degree a half step, Below is an outline of this é
information that might be easier to look at.

MAJOR CHORDS (including 6th, 7rh, 9rh, l1rh, l3rhs) use-irs maior scale

Milt's style of playing the übraphone
was uniquely his own. He slowed the übrato motor to match the natural
übrato
of his voice. The slower übrato was a unique innovation of Milt's and influenced
many players of the instrument from that time on. Early in his career he used
a
relaüvely ha¡d mallet, but soon changed to a very soft one, which he would
strike
with great power, producing a beauüfirl round sound that also had the quality
of the
mallet striking the bar. The mallet itself was designed bylulilt emplolng ar"ryl*g"
head and a relatively short shaft. Milt used two malleti almost oitrci*ry
treatiñg
the übraphone as a single-line instrument. His use of a slow übrato,
ty.itism aná
strong blues influence, produced brilliant, masterfr:l and pure music.
Throughout
most of his career, he was chosen by critics and fans as thá top player in
numérous
polls and magazines"

Milt possessed perfect pitch and a memory for music that bordered on total
recall. As a member of the legendary Modem Jazz
euartet (MJe), he was
required to either read or memorize hundreds of arrangéments written by John
Lewis. These arrangements incorporated many claslical elements such as
fugues and longer form compositions. Although he was an excellent reader,
he
memorized the entire repertoire of the MJe.

Milt established recording relationships with many great musicians during his
career and left an incredible discography. His records with Osca¡ peterson, John
Coltrane, Ceda¡ Walton and Joe pass are arnong the best.

Milt Jackson is universally recognized as a definitive interpreter of ballads


and the
blues, the combination of which defines the essenó e of jazz. He can be
considered the Charlie parker of the übraphone.

He died on Oct. g, lggg, in Newyork City.

Etude #1
Milt Jackson was the grand master in the art of playing the blues. lniazz, the use
of indiüdual notes, patterns and scales that are referred to as b/ue notes, or blues t*
o- and pentatonic scales, have become a source for establishing a
'blues'
vocabulary. Long before these ideas were codified in an educational format the
great blues players, Iike Milt, were using such devices in a very personal and
idiomatic style, which captured the spirit of the blues. !
a The blues, as we know, is a very soulful expression of the African-American
J t,

experience of slavery. The music was created to communicate the suffering of


their slave life and often acted as a catharsis from which they could rise above
oppression. It goes without saying that the music possessed subtle nuance and a
L
very specific frame of reference.

The great bebop masters like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and of course Milt
Jackson took the early blues form to a new level. Through their knowledge of
= modern harmony, combined with their innate ability fo tell o story, and a great
sense of swinging hard with soul and passion, the blues has become the most
important and often the most difficult to play jazz style.

Milt Jackson employed many trademark characteristics when playing the blues.
The first, and probably most important, is his unique way of using blue notes,
= combined with a syncopated rhythmic feel fhal is punctuated with the
combination of eighth to sixteenü-note triplets. The most common pitches that
can be considered 'blue notes' are the flatted 3rd and flatted 7th. In addiüon,
i
I (r
musicians Iike Milt, would also use the flatted sth, which is the tri-tone of the
tonic, as well as the flatted 6th (or raised 5th ). The sticking and grace note
application is best Iearned by listening and imitating the sound and the nuance
of Milt's technique.

In measures 5 and 6 of the etude most of ft:re blue notes are used to emphasize
the four chord. L

The B chorus of the twelve bar blues begins with a typical Milt phrase employing
a minor pentatonic, which is a group of five notes.

In the fourth bar of the B chorus we see and hear a classic Milt Jackson deüce.
Anticipaüng the four chord coming up in measure 5, Milt plays the Dh dominant
scale with a flatted ninth. This scale is known as the symmetrical diminished
scale (also Octatonic) beginning with a half step, then whole step, half step, etc.

As one listens to the many recordings of Milt Jackson plalng the blues, we begin
to hear the fluent style of this master and realize that, while we may not be able
to produce the same pristine quality of the blues that he does, there is much we
can emulate and make our own, using Milt as the source of inspiration.

Etuoe#2

Milt Jackson was a great interpreter of many songvwiters' compositions. His long,
Iyrical 'lines' and phrasing create a logical flow of beautiful melodic ideas, and at
the same time masterfully outline the harmony of the chord changes.

Milt had a unique way in which he played eighth-note lines. Instead of plalng
the notes in a straighleighth feel, he tended to play more with a dotted-
eighth-sixteenth feel. Listen to the etude on the CD play-along and, of course,
to Milt's recordings to hear the swing feel of Milt Jackson. As preüously
mentioned, sticking is an important issue. The rule of'thumb is to play hand
to hand as much as possible, emphasizing equal force in each hand.
Ambidextrous facility is something we should continually work to develop.

Let's begin with a sticking example in measure 9 on the Bb major seventh chord.
Please note that in this etude we will begin counting measures after the two bar
pickup at the double bar. Here are a couple of sücking possibilities for this measure.

A more difficult sticking issue can be seen in measures 16, 17 and 18. This
repeütiv,e pattem is a way in which Milt produces climax and forword motion
golng inioihe next section of the tune. In ihis case it is a repetiüon of the Eh7 to
F the F7 and back to the Eb7. Here are two possible sticking táchniques.

This etude is a good example of developing longer lines that anticipate chord
changes. It is very important to develop the ability to hear the phrase move over
each bar line before plalng it. One way to do that is to sing or hear a pfuase in
your head and then duplicate it on the instrument. Make sure you are playing the
notes you are actually hearing in your head and also check to see that they are
i
within the chord harmony. This kind of pracüce is an ongoing discipline for the
jazz musician. The result is a gradual growth of ideas that flow from the mind- \-
heart to the instrument and come out as a beautiful expression of the individual.
Remember that the ultimate litmus fesl is the end result sounds ngftf. Sometimes
the notes may not seem to fit the harmony, but still work musically. We are !
dealing with an art, not a science.

Milt Jackson is the ultimate jazz artist and musician. Keep that in mind when
listening, studying and enjoying his genius. L

harmonic elements of music. fu a


young man, he emerged on the Los
Angeles jazz scene with an
extremely sophisticated, modern Photo by Dragan Tasic - wuw.nga.ch
and personal expression of bop,
post-bop and avant garde. At the beginning of his career he worked with Charles
Lloyd and curtis Amy in Los Angeles. He soon found himself in New york
performing with Herbie Hancock, Grant Green and other great hard and post
boppers. During this period he also recorded and performed with avant garde
musicians Andrew Hill, Archie Shepp and Eric Dolphy, among others. His
discography is prodigious.

Although Bobby is primarily a two mallet soloist with ferocious technique, he


also employs three and four mallets to enhance a cerebral and masterful
expression of modern jazzharmony; jazz harmony at its best. His compositions
have set an extremely high standard utilizing African influence and complex,
sophisticated musical concepts that always retain emotional depth and forward
moüon. Bobby Hutcherson is unquesüonably the John Coltrane of the übraphone.

Bobby uses a medium-hard mallet that proüdes a bite as well as an overall warm
sound. He creates an almost natural chorus effect by the way he strikes the
instrument and his use of harmony to create scintillating melodic passages. He
has developed an arsenal of patterns and chromatic runs that are played with
great intensity, which uniquely defines his style. As a great interpreter of songs,
Bobby's solos are always an expression of the composition he is playing. Like
Milt Jackson, his improüsations are rooted in the blues.

Bobby Hutcherson continues to record and perform. Today, he is usually in the


company of jazz giants Iike McCoy T1,ner, Herbie Hancock and the most gifted
young jazz musicians.

As menüoned in his bio, Bobby Hutcherson can be considered the Tohn
Coltrane' of the vibraphone. His post-bop and avant garde style combined with a
o ürtuoso technique and knowledge of modern iazzharmony is unparalleled.

Hutcherson, like all great jazz improvisers, has the ability to recreate composed
melodies while improvising. Through a combination of a fundamentally melodic
approach, combined with pattems and phrasing that outline the harmony,
Hutcherson achieves an extraordinarily exciting forward motion, leaving the
listener on the edge of their seat.

In the first etude, the melodic idea is introduced in the first four measures. It
begins on beat three and emphasizes the and of beat four, which immediately
creates motion.
