World's Greatest Vibraphone Player - Victor Feldman

[@stixkid9811]

And what a nice man he was. I have him to thank for some of the most interesting moments of my life. My father taught his sons Josh, Jake and Trevor piano. My dad, like Victor, was a professional pianist in Los Angeles in the 60s and 70's. I was friends with Josh in junior high school...now middle school. LOL. Victor took me to a couple of studio sessions. One with Hal Blaine where he let Josh and I play his drums for probably 30 minutes. Hal was super cool. Also took me to a studio session with Harvey Mason on drums. Victor took my buddy to a Joni Mitchell rehearsal when the LA Express were backing her on tour. Amazing player and super nice man. Thank you, Victor!

Loved his playing on "Razor Boy" by Steely Dan...

[@dickiebobradio1304]

Yes! And he played on every Steely Dan record in the 70s.

Why do people post negative comments? If you don't like it move on. Where do they get off hurting people because they hate themselves? They do No public, social or educational service. Victor Feldman was one of the greatest musicians in the world as a percussionist, pianist and composer. We are all enhanced from him. Thanks Vic. RIP. Mike Hayes

They post negative comments because these are their views and they are entitled to - that's what free speech is all about. I can't believe that there aren't things in your life, musical or otherwise, that you dislike. Commenting about them publicly or not, is your entitlement.One just hopes that all comments are sensible and considered and not posted by nutters, but some will not be! C'est la vie!

Thanks for posting. You folks got to check out Victor Feldman's recordings in the UK '56-'57 - Avid Jazz budget label with the cream of the brit players then. Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott, Tony Crombie, Jimmy Deuchar, Phil Seamen etc. He always was adventurous and encouraged youngsters. Underrated.

❤ absolut fantastisch ❤

[@stublag4132]

The only musician who appeared on every Steely Dan album (apart from Fagen & Becker of course!) if i recall right.A genius of a musician and by far the greatest jazz musician to come from the UK.Check out his piano playing on 'Budo' on the ''Together Again'' album with Shelly Manne and Monty Budwig.Scarily good!!!

[@wesmiddaugh230]

i found his Contemporary with Scott LaFaro that he signed after his death to his sister at a thrift store. it took me 2 years to find Scotts family and return the record still sealed

[@TheBoope]

Brilliant! 😍🎶

[@qzyfdkr]

I remember him in the UK in short pants playing drums.

[@AlanSenzaki]

Bobby Hutcherson!

[@JamesGower-ch5zj]

Such talent

[@kentbarnard5110]

Lionel Hampton. Without Lionel, there would be no others.

[@thomasl.8687]

Cal Tjader played a bit.....

[@62blueglow]

Thanks for the reminder.

[@GregBrownSantaCruz]

Love this!

[@MrDriller36]

Tsk, Tsk, everybody that commented seemed to have forgotten about Roy Ayers, that's sad.

[@vova47]

Vic Feldman - the greatest jazz musician to come out of Britain without a doubt, but the greatest vibe player? ....Not sure, it's a toss between him and Bags for me. I actually love Vic's piano playing more.

[@pgroove163]

greatest ever ?..he is great though

[@andrejuarez3351]

Awesome!!!

[@mandinorock9495]

I like Victor Feldman as a vibraphonist, however, I would not say, " He is the greatest vibist in the world" over Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, and Bobby Hutcherson

[@ashwadhwani]

LIke in 5 secs

[@alfredjamesnewby1814]

Great yes but Terry, Gary, Red Milt and Lionel were even better in my subjective opinion.

[@notlegitkoolaid4911]

Alfred James Newby Fr

[@jampoles]

Comparing 2 and 4 mallet playing is like apples and oranges they all taste good

[@Anonymousconcept]

Greatest in the world is a matter of opinion. Unless you're referring to Gary Burton.

[@jimbocarroll9213]

okay but checkout Milt Jackson then change your mind

[@lennycarey7042]

He ain't no teddy brown

[@willnichols5516]

Victor is great!.......but...if you think he's the greatest vibe player you're on crack. Go listen to Gary Burton.

[@AlanSenzaki]

Victor to me was a better pianist. Ask Miles, Cannonball etc.

[@BobbyKotsick]

not that is bad, I gues it's not my kind of music

[@BobbyKotsick]

i'm sorry victor, i gotta say that martin fabricius is better, but that's my opinion

[@johnm7267]

He wasn’t the greatest
