The other day I was listening to 'Three Little Words' from the album 'Bags 'N' Trane' - with Milt Jackson, John Coltrane, Hank Jones, Percy Heath and Connie Kay.
I have had this album for 25 years, and hadn't put it on in awhile so I had completely forgotten about the absolutely SICK intro Hank Jones plays on this tune ;).

Here's the original: • Three Little Words
Something I love about his playing is just how 'classy' he always sounds, while still burning the roof off the place. Think about when you scroll through Instagram and watch lots of 'burning' musicians... what do you see? Lots of 'stank face', head banging, shredding, etcetera.. Yet somehow when I listen to this track I FEEL the immense strength and swing behind the lines, and still I picture Hank Jones playing as relaxed as ever, wearing a fancy suit and with a gentle smile on his face - all while he absolutely knocks it out of the park on every tune. What an absolute master he was.
One of the best things any vibraphonist can do is transcribe music from other instruments - saxophone, trumpet, piano, guitar - you name it. It confronts us with problems like how to voice chords, what stickings to use, etcetera...
There is enough information in this intro to last a lifetime, and it's only 8 bars long. Let's get in there and see how it works, and how we can adapt it to the vibraphone!
Thanks for watching!
