I adore "Caravan" and I adore vibraphones, so you've had me from the git-go on this one.

I don't think I've ever heard "Caravan" done with vibraphones before. Extremely nice.

But ... since everyone's a critic ... I wonder what this piece would've sounded like if the drums had been more of a background thing, as opposed to up front, and with not such an insistent, almost frantic-sounding beat. A lot of the charm of "Caravan," I think, is its ability to beguile, as opposed to bowl over, the listener.

Love the flute solo. Perfect for this song. I wonder what it would've been like if there'd been a little surf guitar solo thrown in.

Anyway -- thanks very much for sharing, makes me utterly ashamed of my utter lack of musical talent.
