orangefunk Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 It sounds like a felt hammer rhodes with a lot of high EQ. I have Miroslav Vitous's LP Purple (from 1970) with Joe Zawinul on rhodes and it has a similar thunky sound though without the high EQ... Capricorn was indeed a piece he seemed to cut on a few LPs... its also on the Zodiac LP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 As long as we are asking Rhodes experts, someone tell me how Jan got this sound: http://www.hotrodmotm.com/sounds/dogclip.mp3 It sounds dirty and compressed, I always loved it.

orangefunk Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 A lot of outboard! Its a "fender rhodes" for sure... but its not the early one that Joe Z used with Cannonball its the 1971- mid 70s one... I know an album or two with Jan you would love mate stubb... check out the following (using your fav mp3 blogspot ) Steve Grossman - Some Shapes to Come Charlie Mariano - Helen 12 Trees both from mid 70s... Jan waaaaaaaaaaaaailllllllllllllllllsssssssssss on those LPs... rhodes and moog bliss then some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 It sounds like a felt hammer rhodes with a lot of high EQ.

Capricorn was indeed a piece he seemed to cut on a few LPs... its also on the Zodiac LP... Yep. Felt hammers and the old tine design. Very different tone than what we're accustomed to hearing. Same as on the old Bitches Brew record. Probably a silvertop. Keep it greazy! B3tles - Soul Jazz THEO - Prog Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefunk Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I know that George Duke and Harold Rhodes were good friends... on a visit to see George, Harold attempted to 'fix' George's rhodes thinking it was all out of whack... George had to stop him as his idea of a rhodes sound was a different one to Harolds... There are a lot of guys who love a messed up rhodes too.. in fact some jazzers insist upon it... Jacky Terrason won't have any perfect rhodes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicale Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Geez, The digitals can only seem to capture a few of the nuances of the Rhodes. You're fooled until you here some representative examples of the real thing. Regards, Musicale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbysterling Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Jan Hammer liked to use a little bit of compression on his Rhodes �Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes.
