SK Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 With all the passings of jazz pianists recently, I hope some of you find this article uplifting. http://www.jazzwax.com/2013/07/interview-denny-zeitlin-on-both-and.html For the 75 yr. old Zeitlin to go from a lifetime of acoustic piano - to recording all the instrument parts of his CD with software is quite adventurous. It seems he's in a new zone, using Trilian, Omnisphere, and even yesterday's Yamaha keyboards... reminds me of Hank Jones at the end of his career, when he rented a small apartment just to play, write and record with digital instruments.

NewImprov Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Very interesting! I've seen Zeitlin several times, both in solo and in a duo with a bassist, but never knew he'd done any electro-acoustic stuff, will have to check that out, and the new album sounds very cool.

Adan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 3 CP-33s! He mountain bikes the same trails I do here around Mt. Tam in Marin (referencing the current "exercise" thread). Hoping to run into him (not literally) someday. Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real MC Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Denny has embraced technology for decades. He had one of the very few single manual rev1 Prophet-10 when they first came out. He could tolerate the tuning drift using autotune, he really wanted something he could slam with both hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Too late to change the heading, but instead of technology, maybe it should have read "software and DP's". CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Didn't he score one of the "Body Snatchers" remakes with orchestra plus synthesizers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
