Intro to Round Midnight - Beating spots, mallet choices and Milt Jackson.

5 mallet 4 octave instructional video. Here I talk about the 4 beating spots on a vibraphone bar, my use of graduated mallets, Milt Jackson's approach to the melodic line - grace notes, chromatic runups, double hits, and vibrato. I use the first 4 bars of the intro to Round Midnight as an example and explain my choices of how and where to hit the bars, and with which mallets.
