I’ve developed a taste for the vibraphone in my jazz, thanks to Sirius/XM’s wide and varied playlist.
Can someone please give me some names of some Jazz acts that use a lot of vibes? I’d like to hit amazon and do some DLing.
Thanks!
Milt Jackson, Lionel Hampton, Gary Burton, Joe Locke for starters.
Seconded. So moved, put to a vote. The motion carries.
Bobby Hutcherson. Stefon Harris.
Don Thompson is someone you won’t necessarily have heard of.
Luigi Waites.
His Wiki page: Luigi Waites - Wikipedia
I don’t know how easy it is to find his music online, but I think it’d be worth the hunt.
Bobby Hutcherson is the man.
Johnny Lytle: The Village Caller. I heard the title track on the radio in 1967 and fell in love with the vibes. It was either the second or third album I ever bought. Vinyl of course but you can now get it on CD. Maybe even mp3.
also:
Cal Tjader: Soul Sauce. The title track is of course a classic.
May bend the genre somewhat…
Ruth Underwood
Seconding Gary Burton.
I am anything but a vibraphone connoisseur. But I thought that I would mention The New Standards. It’s a band composed of indie-types – the bass player from Semisonic being the most noteworthy, I guess – doing fun, jazzy covers of songs like "London Calling, “Song 2” and “All The Young Dudes.” Might be interesting to give their stuff a look.
Gary Burton thirded. For an unusual but beautiful example, see “Mistress of Storms” from the Bruce Cockburn album The Charity Of Night.
There’s also “Percolations part 1” on Gong’s album Gazeuse! with Mireille Bauer on the vibraphone. A good speaker system will have people dumbfounded and transfixed when the piece starts.
Nothing to add to the already-great suggestions. Just a note to say “yay vibes” 
the late Cal Tjader
and** Alfredo Naranja **from Venezuela
For straight ahead jazz, Ed Saindon, teacher at Berklee for many years.
a favorite woman vibe player in the Boston area,
Natalie Dietrich from Switzerland; studied drums with Stuart Copeland, vibes with Dave Samuels. Plays nicely on Mike Garvan’s " Havana Nights" CD.
You guys are the awesomest people ever! I love being a part of a community with such a wide and varied knowledge base. Thanks for the help! My Zune is in for a long night.
You might also look at Wikipedia under “vibraphone” for more artists.
Have to also endorse Milt Jackson and Lionel Hampton.
Gary Burton ain’t bad, either.
