Mike Mainieri! He is one of the great voices of jazz vibraphone, and this solo is no doubt one of the most famous. Taken from a 1986 Tokyo concert video of Steps Ahead, this is part of his solo on the tune Beirut....In this video I transcribed, played, and analyzed just two of his incredible lines.
What a ridiculous band! Michael Brecker (sax/ewi), Darryl Jones (bass), Steve Smith (drums), Mike Stern (guitar), and Mike Mainieri (vibes/keyboards)
There is so much information packed into literally 8 measures - it's worth taking the time to check out Mainieri's construction of melodies, using the octatonic scale, the shapes he plays, and of course the incredible groove he plays with.
I hope you enjoy this lesson!

10 seconds in and instantly recognised that solo from a brilliant ‘Steps Ahead’ vinyl album I bought in the 80s. Breckers playing of ‘In a Sentimental mood’ on that album is sublime. Thanks for the upload 👍
Great version of Beirut, Darryl Jones the bassist for rolling stones. Also love steps ahead @the queen Mary jazz festival 1986 California,
is even crazier vibraphone madness with Chuck loeb on Roland synth guitar and the bassist of weather report, victory bailey. RIP
BRAVOOO, BRAVISSIMOO Thankyou Tim!
Great analysis Tim. Your are amazing.
thx so much for the lesson, here a guitarist tryng to put on the fretboard all those concepts, thanks bro
my vibes teacher told me Mike Mainieri was his favorite player so i’ve been meaning to start learning some of his work. this is a rlly good place for me to start, thank you so much for making this video.
You have a good vibes teacher!
Tim, you are the best... Thank you sooooo soooo much for your effortless work!
Thank you very much !!!!
I love Tim’s videos: fun, clear, and fascinating. When he implies a dominant chord a tritone up (Ab), is he putting that tension towards the end of four bar phrases to create resolutions back to D7 in rhythmically strong places? Also, doesn’t playing an altered D7 make your ear want to hear a resolution to, say, G or Db?
I am working on this. D7 is part of the diminished chord Eb F# A C, lowering Eb to D. You can also lower one of the other notes to get F7, Ab7, and B7. These chords can be substituted for D7. F7 is b9 #9 sound. Ab7 is b5 b9 sound. B7 is b9 natural 13 sound.
Always a double bitchin lesson 🎉 thank you so very much ❤️ love you Tim hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8
