ProfD Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'd be able to play like Gene Harris. However, his advice was to sound like nobody else. Easy for him to say. Folks are influenced by many. In this case, name the ONE KB player you really dig above all others. No lists. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Nillerbabs Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 An awesome, cool and really nice guy - danish Nikolaj Bentzon. Excellent pianist and does a killer Rhodes. I know of players more skilled, but this one I admire in every single way of life, and him not being an unattainable superstar makes it easier to relate to him - to me, at least. When in doubt, superimpose pentatonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrafon Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Wow, really hard to limit yourself to just one...but I'd have to go with one of the more "obvious" such as the good Dr (John) or Senor Payne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nightime Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think I'll have to go with a guy that could rock with the best, classical chops and all. I've lost track how many of his licks I've stolen. Jon Lord. Just listen to the unison part he does with Richie Blackmore on "Gypsy's Kiss". Here's one of his recent set lists Setlist: Ride Like The Wind (Christopher Cross) Riders On The Storm (The Doors) Mumintroll at Midnight (world premiere, written by Benjamin Köthe) Papa was a Rollin Stone (The Temptations) Fieber Schwimm nicht zu weit Nur bei dir (Three songs written and performed by Johanna Zeul) Concerto for Group and Orchestra, 1st Movement (Jon Lord) Wait a While (Jon Lord) Dont Let Go (En Vogue) Längere Tage Ich habs versucht Dein ist mein ganzes Herz (Three songs written and performed by Heinz Rudolf Kunze) The Telemann Experiment (Jon Lord) Deep Purple medley (Jon Lord and everyone else) Encore: Blinded By The Light "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues." Willie Dixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
