I've been meaning to check out the link - and I finally got around to it this morning. (That's not a commentary on you, Matt - it's the fact that I'm still on a dial-up connection, and checking out YouTube videos usually requires that I do something to kill time while it downloads. One of these days, I'll get a high-speed connection...and maybe while I'm at it, I'll get a car that doesn't have a crank on the front, and maybe even indoor plumbing...but I digress.)
You've got some really good stuff going on there - I'm hearing good, melodic use of repetition, and references to the melody in your solo lines. I also like hearing rolls used on vibraphone - it's an interesting texture that often gets discarded, because one doesn't have to roll to sustain a note on vibes, the way one does on marimba.
Nice job!
