My name is Frank. I live in NYC. I'm an anesthesiologist and a hard core music lover and keyboardist. I grew up in Detroit, so my musical roots are very diverse.
I would say that my heart and soul remains firmly planted in the Fusion/Smooth Jazz/Acid Jazz styles.
I grew up listening to The Blackbirds, EWF, Caldera, Seawind, George Duke, Rufus and Chaka, Spyro Gyra, Yellow Jackets, RTF and lots of modern Brazilian.
I would say that my style is probably most influenced by the very early Jeff Lorber Fusion. (that's when Kenny G was a young Kenny Gorelick)
I've gone through quite a few keybaords, but lately, I keep the setup slim and trim.

It's time for a mjaor upgrade and I'm eyeing the Motif 8 and Fantom.
This is a very exciting time for me. I'm 4 months away form building my dream DAW/Studio in my home. 24 bit/96K baby with all the trimmings!!!!
I'm going to take a little bit of time and carefully read ever single introduction and maybe I'll reply to a few of yours...................... Keyboard players are the shit.
