After 20 years of focusing instrumentally on drums, Larry the O finally promoted his vibraphone, long a “second” instrument, to its own position of honor. Having realized the close similarity between the ranges of guitar and vibes, and discovered how splendidly guitar finger-picking patterns sounded on guitar, the O proceeded to disregard both his classical and jazz training to forge an unique solo act: Vibrafolk. Featuring only his vocals and vibraphone, Vibrafolk tackles folk tunes from the traditional to the modern, occasionally straying into jazz, jam band territory, or just plain weirdness. Vibrafolk fearlessly explores the range of folk music from the plaintive to the wistful to the sharp-tongued. It is true that vibraphone is heard overwhelmingly in either jazz or grocery story music, but Vibrafolk is not wallpaper. In fact, Vibrafolk was dropped for a regular coffeehouse gig for being “too intense” (translation: people couldn’t just read their magazines and ignore the world). I guess the moonlight is blinding sometimes.
