Good job anyways, would"ve preferred to hear some synth strings in there, but I guess live is ok...
I'll take live strings any day of the week over having to play them on keys.
But it seems like you have such a fun band. What"s your favorite song to cover?Well it's mostly a working Top 40 band that plays no frills Top 40 covers for corporate events and weddings. But occasionally we do our Summer concert series and can incorporate more showcasey material, or we'll do videos like these, so I'd say my favorite stuff to play falls in that category. Our cover of Chaka Khan's 'I Feel For You' from 2016, or our back 5 minutes of Abbey Road Beatles Medley, Come Sail Away; stuff like that.

My Top 40 band's arrangement of 'Canned Heat'. We've been sitting on this for awhile - all the vids we released this year were cut at the same session(s) last November and December. Fun to cop the Nu Disco vibe, I've always loved this song ever since it dropped in '99 (yes PRE Napoleon Dynamite).

The good news, at least for my original home team Padres, is that Eric Hosmer will win the MVP. No one saw that coming!
Damn right

Or schools in general...

Also the Azores has a lot going on. I guess Garth was right.

How cool! Uh there's a radio station in Avalon Catalina. Clicked on it and it's playing 'Burn Down The Mission' by Elton. Day is off to a great start over here!

I KNEW IT! I knew I'd seen it. OG Real Book there you go.

There has to be a chart somewhere.

Not to derail: Josh, did you do Geoffrey Keezer"s Nearness if You for Open Studio?
Geoffrey probably wrote it out himself. He's pretty involved with that website, and they absorbed all the content he had previously been selling on his own site.

It's an unprecedented time man. Hard to keep the lines from blurring when everyone's livelihoods are so affected.

This is one of my favorite Herbie Sideman cuts for a few personal reasons.
I taped this off the radio in my car in the late 90s. I missed the point where the announced the tune and personnel though. And the first part of the head. Then eventually I lost tape. So for years I was trying to track this tune down based on a memory of a melody. I struck gold when I was somehow able to recall enough of it to play for Kamau Kenyatta who I was studying with, and his eyes lit up and he printed the chart out for me and there it was. I love it for everyone's playing. The gorgeous semi pop I vi VII progression and vibe and the unhilarious key of B Major. Interesting to hear them play within the 'limitations' of that.

Alto
He did some very unusual arranging and orchestrating (using uncommon combinations of instruments like bass trombone, alto flute, fluegelhorn and on the Prisoner â as Mark mentioned, bass clarinet).All my favorites. Man bass clarinet, Alto Flute Flugelhorn, what a sound! This album is indeed a masterpiece but I don't need to say that. Great call, I'm loving this Herbie Thread.

The Milton cut I know with Herbie on it is this one. Not a textural tour de force like what Josh posted. But really great stuff still.

Milton Nascimento is such a great choice Josh. He played some rad stuff with him. I only know 1 or 2 of those songs. What you posted here I hadn't heard. How mind blowing. 3:20 is the solo. More chicky really. I love to hear Herbie be challenged / stretched like this. I wonder what's going through his head. 'Keep it folky and more diatonic, keep it double time'. He's in control the whole time.

Well that sounds like a delightful situation Steve. Good luck.

Dan that sucks. I think it's kind of cool that you'd think of him and remember him. It's gnarly when these anniversaries hit. But also it'll be random unexpected times when you think about that person and it can be a real bummer. I've lost a couple friends along the way in sudden and unexpected ways and I guess it's part of life. A crappy part. I think it's cool to talk about it Dan, that helps.

Oh no! Joe finally passed. My good buddy studied with him at LAMA. He outlived 2 of his prodigious sons and it must have been a heavy burden. My friend said he was the utmost gentleman.

It sounds like you have thought it through and it would be a good change. My only advice would be, as an engineer, to have a real practical handle on the numbers. Questions like:
How much $ do I need to make per month to get my house paid off in X amount of years? How much would I hope to make from freelancing?
I would also consider the possibility of somehow reducing the engineering thing to a part time basis if possible. You have a lot of valuable expertise in that area that could really help with your $ situation even at a greatly reduced # of hours.

Just remember that you'll need an eLicenser key; they don't have a soft license.
Does an iLok work?

I just dropped many many $s on an iMac Pro at the beginning of the year, hoping to see 5-10 years out of it. If this means I will be hopelessly screwed in 3 years by a lack of support and functioning apps I will be....bummed.

Like Dave I do sessions regularly at a studio where the guy runs ivory. He has a CP33 that I use to control it. My experience with it is similar, kinesthetically I have more of a performance connection to my CP4, but the Ivory samples do sound better and I tend to be able to make music on it.
I am still blown away by the Syncrony VSL stuff from earlier in the thread though.
I wonder how my CP4 would do controlling them. I wish there was an easy way to know.

Just checked out the Syncron pianos. They sound pretty damn good to me!
Current crop of "Workstations"??

It all depends on the ratios of what sounds you want.
If it's:
80% piano, 15% rhodes / wurly, 5% other stuff, I would go: Yamaha CP4 or CP 88
If it's:
50% piano, 25% rhodes / wurly, 25% organ, I would go: Nord or Yamaha Montage
