I'll definitely second Bobby, especially Happenings but also San Francisco. Some of the Sven Libek OSTs have some nice vibes too (fairly light) esp Inner Space ------------- We are men of action.

| I think Dave Pike to be a wonderful musician. I think that he can play the music of various styles. And I think that Steve Nelson is good recently. However, there is not yet Steve Nelson in the site. |

Herbie Mann is a flute player, but his albums often feature a vibraphonist. Vibes plus flute equals beatnik cool.

| Steps Ahead and other Mike Maineri recordings. Doesn't Bill Bruford use vibes on the Feels Good To Me album but with the vibrato function turned off? |

| A real classic is Gary Burton's "Crystal Silence", one of the most popular jazz vibraphone albums ever. The music is very nice. |

How'd I miss this thread?? In addition to what everyone has mentioned, Dave Holland and Charlie Hunter have prominently featured vibraphone and marimba in their albums; very much recommended. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm |

Just discovered Mike Mainieri (with his 'Norwegian Posse' - including Nils Petter Molvaer and Bugge Wesseltoft, no less) on the 2006 release, Northern Lights. A mixed bag of chill out nu-fusion, and more straight ahead NYC vibe-lead jazz fusion.
Anybody checked out (Percy Jones') Tunnels (and indeed their recording label Buckyball Records) over the last 10 years of playing and releases, for the vibes and midi-vibes of Marc Wagnon.
