Dave I can't believe you customized this mixer to have your initials put on every knob on this thing.
I want one. SSL compressors and 2 band EQ? Anything else I'm missing? Looks small too.

This guy's last name is really Klavins?!

Just checked em out and bought the Black Grand, the White Grand and the Rain upright after listening to demos. Thanks for the recs guys, I was just about to post a question here asking which were the best piano Virtual instruments in 2020. Even if these aren't them, for the price that's a lot of bang for the buck.

Hearing Chick on Rudy Van Gelder recordings will never not be a mind f*ck for me. It's like that sound combined with being surrounded by the slightly greasier hard bop vibe fools me into thinking it's not him.

Alan that sucks. I wonder what they are thinking. They didn't discuss bringing you back after the pandemic? I am so grateful that the pastor at my church gig (also Methodist) values music and understands it. His wife sang with the LA Master Chorale and now works for the Symphony. These folks really appreciate our talents, and I'm happy to say that during COVID we have still been working, producing the service remotely as each musician records at home and send it to me to mix. It's literally the only 'gig' I have right now.
I hope you find something else. The church is in a really tough spot these days. This crisis might break the back of many small congregations that were already only sporting blue hair crowds.

You might also consider PMing forumite Josh Paxton who was hired by Hal Leonard 20 years ago to do tons of transcriptions of Dr John, James Booker and other New Orleans pianists. I bet you could commission him to do it.

Sorry Dan, here's hoping you fall forward.

oh wow

That keyboard is NSFW!!

I've always gone stereo outs straight into the line level inputs of my Apogee Ensemble until this year when I replaced it with an Apollo X8. Looking at what everyone else is saying I feel like maybe I'm too basic?

He is probably my #1. His influence on me and the amount of time I've spent absorbing and studying all his facets is incalculable.
I hope he is around for much longer.

I can't say I'm a huge fan, but you gotta respect the hustle.I took the time and listened to all these.
I stand by my assessment in the first thread;
She's talented. She's doing her own thing. Seems to market it well. Good for her. I really do think it's good to see young people going for it.
Subjectively, I still don't like the music/style of music. And it's not a "get off my lawn" thing.
I'm with you guys 100%. Thanks to the OP for posting.

Some of those players show boat licks, problem with that in most cases is that you lose the essence of the song. Just because you can do something doesn't always mean you should. Two or three of them in the video get it.
You can feel how you want to feel about it but I disagree pretty strongly with this take. This video isn't about them backing up a singer at some half time show, it is about interpreting a song through the lens of who they are as players. None of it was showboaty to me. There were 12 masterful voices, and I'm sure they ALL feel humble in the company of most of the other players on this video.

This was fantastic thank you for sharing. I loved each and every take. It is humbling to see the humble setting of some of these guys. I always picture these giants to have something like Gerald Clayton's set up. Not so.
-
Bobodeath, "What a Fool Believes" is fantastic. I am loving the vocal harmonies. Can you tell me how many vocal parts are actually being sing at 2:52-2:53 for the word "He" ?
It's mostly all 4 part. I'll double check the score.
UPDATE:
My score has 3 part triads.
-
I think there is better stuff later in the video!
-
It doesn't interest me that much. It sounds like when I play a bunch of muscle memory BS. I think Eric said it best. He plays it with solid time and technique which makes it palatable. But it basically follows a pretty formulaic 'here's some 4th licks, here's an upperstructure triad arpeggio, here's some chromaticism'. There is a way to use these ideas but make them more interesting. Just listen to Chick, Robert Glasper, or Geoffrey Keezer.
-
Al that's a beautiful little piece! I agree with Jazzooo â that left hand is doing a lot of cool stuff.
-
I spy a Batya in there too!
Sure enough. I'm sure you've crossed paths with many of these peeps considering...

Are the strings a permanent part of the band, or just used for this session?
We just used them for this session. We cut 3 tunes like this one in one day. This is the most 'tweaked' arrangement we did that day. It sure was fun having them and writing for them. Would be fun to use them live but to do it right you'd need like 16 people in the string section to balance out for volume. Probably not gonna happen. Could also play along with VSTs but I already have my hands full.
-
Honestly it would sound a bit more modern with the horns and strings replaced by VST or keyboard stuff. That"s how I do covers anyways.
Who said we were trying to be modern? Dirty Loops is not the vibe we are going for.
-
My Top 40 band did another horn heavy pop arrangement. We took Aretha Franklin's version of 'What A Fool Believes' and put a spin on it. Probably not as funky as the original but still a blast to help arrange and play on.

What is everyone digging as the must have software piano in 2020? Is Ivory II still the acknowledged master? How do people stack them up against the Sampletekk stuff, or maybe some others that I don't know about?
I'm not particularly interested in playing it live with a band, I'm talking about in the box use for studio stuff - cue writing, etc. Micing up my Kawai is fun and all but only useful for a couple weeks until it's back out of tune.
