    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.

    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.

    Yes neither of them actually played the parts 100% like the record. But it's more than fine baby.
  4. Bobadohshe
    I'm still in this boat too.

    They're playing the Africa marimba part on piano but it's a GS1 right? They didn't double it on piano.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This was Chris Botti's keyboard section in the early 2010s. Imagine having GK on 'aux' keys.

    I love mine but only because it works great for my particular cover band situation.

    That piano always seems to sit perfectly in a mix. It doesn't matter if it's 15 years old.

    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.

    Wow!!

    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.

    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.

    I know Genevieve from my time in LA in the late 00s. She was part of the CSUN crew we all had a regular Sunday night Jam at the Sunset House of Blues with. It has been fun to watch her double down on everything quirky and badass and link up with Louis and go on this uncompromosingly creative run. Louis is a ridiculous musician. One of the few drummers Nate Wood trusts to sub for him in Kneebody. It's very inspiring to me.

    Can't wait to listen. His piano solo on 'Sailing' was my ticket into his genius long ago.

    I've been to Dave's beautiful pad several times and I always admire it. This is definitely the best part though. (the converted detached garage with the Steinway D in it)

    Appreciate the lookout. San Diego is a series of canyons and mesas, and fortunately I am on a mesa. As of now I'm fine. I can walk to the end of my street and look down into Mission Valley which is the course of the San Diego river, and predictably there's tons of flooding down there. 15 minutes ago we also got the first 'tornado warning' I have ever seen here. The window for it has already passed and it wasn't in my direct path anyway. But times they are a changin.

    I have never done a show and I've always wanted to dip my toe in. I would love the challenge. I'm a decent reader (not the amazing level of so many that I know) and I am used to playing lots of stuff on multiple boards with patch changes. I relish any chance I get to follow a conductor because I only get to do it once or twice a year. It always takes me a few minutes to switch that part of my brain on. The money is bad though! I just can't afford to do those kinds of gigs at the moment. Maybe one day.

    It's in my Hal Leonard TV Themes Fake book that I got 20 years ago. I play it at the Padres games anytime the Mariners are in town.

    Sight reading in Gb is a little easier for me and I'd rather see it, but as others said, it really does help to know where the tune is headed. Play enough classical and you don't get as phased by tons of double sharps or double flats. And I'd rather see double sharps than double flats. I know it doesn't make sense.
  23. Bobadohshe
    By the way, throw this youtube vid on while you sit at the piano and it's a great little reading session.

    God Bless the internet

    That's a kind thing to say buddy. Of course the way you feel about your own playing is the way I feel about mine. Fun how that works!
