Notes About The Poem

"The vibraphone, with its shimmering, dreamlike tones, is like moonlight turned into music... it’s as if sound waves gently ripple through the air, inviting you into a softer, more thoughtful world.... The vibraphone glows with resonance, each note a bead of sound suspended in time....Playing the vibraphone is like painting with light, each note a brushstroke, each resonance a touch of color."
— Gary Burton, a renowned jazz vibraphonist

Listen to poem:

Moonstone Melodies

The vibes emulate the soft blue light,
that soft-shoe dances in a moonstone.
Mellow and resonant, is the vibraphone.
The heart and soul of ethereal percussion blues.
The gentle sound reverberates vibrato,
floating and wafting its mesmerizing melodies
under the hard surface of the moonstone.
Shimmering spells that echo dreams,
and deja vu resonant fantastic fantasies.
