Warren Wolf: The Vibraphone Chose Him

Vibraphonist Warren Wolf is one of the most accomplished musicians of his generation, but he never planned on playing the instrument that would define his career. Raised in Baltimore by a father who insisted he study music, Wolf spent years practicing vibraphone, drums and piano before discovering the joy of performance and finding his own voice. Today, whether he's making groove-oriented records like Smooth Vibes or revisiting ambitious works like Chick Corea's Lyric Suite for Sextet, Wolf continues to follow a philosophy shaped by a lifetime of listening: keep an open mind, avoid musical boxes, and let the music speak for itself.
