“Monks was voted “Best Virtual Listening Room” by Austin Chronicle readers in 2021, and our in-studio experience is singular. The venue offers an intimate but casual alternative to loud bars and high-cost performance halls. We aim to foster an environment where all people can enjoy the rich culture of jazz.”

Jazz Night with DURAWA

I was honored to perform on vibraphone with Ernie Durawa’s incredible band, DURAWA, on Tuesday night at The Backstage for Jazz Night. We sang, played, and shouted. The band was burnin! @ernie_durawa @chrisalcarazandmorelove Terry Bowness @innovativepercussion

Fall 2021

Fall was a blast! It was so great to get back to almost normal performances in outdoor settings. The VibeTet was working and Aaron was playing vibes with Mirage Jazz Ensemble, Sammy’s Satin Sounds, and Grace Covenant Church as well.

On KUTx 98.9FM eklektikos

The VibeTet stopped by KUTx’ Studio 1A for a segment with John Aielli which aired on his show, eklektikos, this morning, Wednesday May 2nd 2018. We also had a great time catching up with Jay Trachtenberg and the rest of the crew at KUT and KUTx.

KUTx music writer, Eileen Wolfowicz, had this to say:

It’s finally starting to warm up in Austin, but Aaron Lack’s VibeTet will make you feel like you are sitting by a fire on a snowy night. The VibeTet joined us in Studio 1A to play selections off of his newest album, Lovely Night, which contains jazz covers of songs from the hit musical film La La Land, and a special surprise – Drake’s Hotline Bling. Their use of the vibraphone uplifts the more melancholic songs on the album, and their sense of rhythm and swing will make you want to get up from your desk and dance around. The VibeTet consists of some of the most talented jazz musicians in Austin, so you won’t want to miss their performance at Central Market’s Westgate location from noon – 3 PM on Sunday, May 6th. Have a listen to their Studio 1A session below!

For your consideration:

The VibeTet’s first CD is available today for the first time. It is an album of jazz music and contemporary music that I have arranged in the jazz idiom. The oldest music on the recording was written in 2015. I composed the youngest piece, “Slangin'” in October of 2017. The entire album was recorded on January 13th, 2018, in the afternoon. This is a contemporary jazz album that swings and includes current pop music from the movie, La La Land, and from HipHop artist, Drake.

Lovely Night is available for streaming, download, and on a beautiful physical CD exclusively from my distribution partner, BandCamp, here:

http://AaronLack.BandCamp.com/album/Lovely-Night

Streaming and downloads are instantly available now. CDs are available for pre-order and will begin shipping next week on the 20th of February.

Please have a listen and purchase a copy to own and enjoy! (I could also use a good review or two if you have the inclination!)

Cheers,

-Aaron
