  1. Good point. I know some cats who are so married to their own ink that they become a drag when the form gets more fluid.
  2. I will see if I can find the PDF online through google search. I will then probably make my own real chart because most of those leadsheets don't have the right form.
  3. Yes neither of them actually played the parts 100% like the record. But it's more than fine baby.
  4. They're playing the Africa marimba part on piano but it's a GS1 right? They didn't double it on piano.
  5. Today I learned they didn't cut that album on a Yamaha C7 which I had always assumed they had. And I had assumed they cut it at Westlake. Wrong again. Now I realized I was conflating Toto's involvement on Thriller (cut at Westlake) with the recording of Toto IV. And here I am considering myself a true fan. Thanks for sharing this.
  6. Exactly this IMO. How you kick the tune off is essential. The rest is vibe and will depend on your rhythm section, particular clav sample and band mix. It IS important to play the right chords on the turnaround though.
  7. I make detailed notated charts in finale and use my iPad. A ton of work up front but I'm fast at it and then I have the song ready to go for life.
  8. This was Chris Botti's keyboard section in the early 2010s. Imagine having GK on 'aux' keys.
  9. I love mine but only because it works great for my particular cover band situation.
  10. That piano always seems to sit perfectly in a mix. It doesn't matter if it's 15 years old.
  11. I've always loved this for the funky Tim Levebre bass line. I love the line and his overall style. And I love this for the subject matter. The corn dog bullet sash kills me.
  12. Didn't know one of the trumpets would switch to bone sometimes. I thought it was always 2 trumpets 2 tenors 1 bari and that was the TOP sound (except in the studio where they'd overdub). Shows what I really know about this great band.
  13. Damn the band sounds so good here. The pocket somehow seems depeer. I love how high the organ is in the mix. An essential part of the sound IMO. I've played TOP tunes when the keys aren't loud enough (and frankly I'm not funky enough) and it can fall flat. This groove is undeniable.
