Dave Ferris Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 For Wayne Shorter fans, here's a version of Fee- Fi- Fo- Fum. Another long time favorite tune I never get tired of playing.

Joe Muscara Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Out of curiosity Dave, why do you put some tunes on SoundCloud and some on DivShare? Is it a matter of "portfolio" vs. "stuff you just want to share privately with us"? Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Bobadohshe Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Just listened to your Fe Fi Fo Fum. Such a great tune. Your version was outstanding! I really love the diff textures when you do the quarter note chords in the L.H.. And the solo is superb.

zephonic Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I have been working on this thing for the KC Compilation CD, but wanted to share in advance. It's an arrangement of one of my favorite Beatles songs "And I love her". I did everything with keyboard and computer, but for the CD I hope to get some heavy guys to redo the bass and guitar solos. Something went wrong with the mp3 conversion and the limiter destroyed the sound but the idea is there. Hope you enjoy.

SK Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey Menno, that was great. While I'm not into "fusion" anymore (even though I play some of those gigs sometimes), you breathed life into the groove. Nice "slash" chords there on the head, and nice, twisted lines on the solos. I liked it all - well done. Quote CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I haven't been on this forum for so long, I'm just posting back on this old thread like a poltergeist. Although this piece "All The Things" is harmed and reharmed: http://www.divshare.com/download/23078598-2d8 It's from a gig last week - the night before a 9 hr. CD recording session with the very talented trumpeter Victor Haskins - a 19 yr. old wonder. A quintet gig, we played the first tune as a duo, and I don't think some people in the crowd realized we had started to play. So it's a duo with extra sonic information from about 30 people. And on the way back to the Great North, Sue and I checked out Sam Ash in NYC the other day. So combining a year's worth of posts into one, here's my impressions of a couple keyboards that have been reviewed ad nauseum before: The new Casio 350 - majorly improved from past Casios. The keys felt really nice, if a bit of a short throw. The 350 isn't for me though because the upper mids and highs sounded bell-like or thin to me... but it's the ticket for many keyboardists looking for a decent playable piano keyboard at a good price and weight. (which I'm sure most everyone already knows) And from the other side of the spectrum: very expensive, heavy, and surprisingly good, Roland's old V-Piano (or the newer V-Grand). I had thoroughly dissed this keyboard because of the synthetic modeled sound in the mid range, evident in all the demos I had heard. Well, that sound is still there, but the ambience knob turned just over half-way more than compensates and creates an actually beautiful sounding instrument to play. Great action, combined with the purchase of appropriate speakers (maybe Meyer Sound) should make for a super nice rig. End of redundant reviews/reharms... Happy gigging, gear, music, and New Year to everyone. Best, Steve & Sue, aka SK & gangsu Quote CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey Dave, Joe and Noah. Nice to see you guys. Dave, they're probably the same 30 people traveling the country - there aren't those many upright bass players left for them to talk over. I think this CD will be really cool, a mixture of fresh and traditional with Victor's writing, a killer sax player from D.C. and my old Baltimore rhythm section. A couple days ago in NYC, I "ran into" Victor at the Village Vanguard listening to the Fred Hersch trio (small world). Now back home, I'm 'enjoying' the snow and high winds , getting ready for a rehearsal tonight.

SK Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thx tj! Dave, to me, Fred Hersch was his usual thoughtful, intelligent, more harmony based playing (Evans influence often there). I don't go out to listen that much - so it was nice to hear a straight up accomplished pianist - I enjoyed it.
