Brettymike Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The real hilarious part is from 1:25 - 2:00 , what a bunch of BS Dogs Breakfast piano that is! - the jokes on him .

Outkaster Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 He's a really good piano player and I never thought a while back. His voice was a little thin to me but he can really play and write. 20 years ago my old band did some of his tunes of the funk album he put out. "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

drawback Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It's difficult to tell with everyone off time, but it seems his band was swingin' when Harry was rockin'. It's a mess, alright, but I do believe he was deliberately trying to rein in the drummer. ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear.

timwat Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 "Come By Me", which he wrote. It was the title track to one of his big band oriented releases, I believe.

I thought it was very cool the way he turned the time around at the beginning of his piano solo, turning 1 and 3 claps into 2 and 4 A terrible and embarrassing clashing of his and the bands 2 different rhythm/timings - and on top of that , poor and obtuse playing on his part(the boy couldn't play at all). It's the worst bit of train wreck I've heard in years. He should have listened and very quickly adapted to the vibes of the cooking band - firing on all cylinders with a swing like beat , but he was lost in the woods for a painfully long time . The audience , slightly out of kilter with their claps , were the least of his worries. Brett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it just sounds like HC's playing behind the beat (deliberately) at 1:25 for a few bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusker Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 To me he was just playing greasy on purpose. (Behind the beat as Floyd and Lonnie alluded.) Notice how much "tighter" his time was when he was playing solo. My drummer is from NOLA and we work pretty hard at getting that greasy vibe.

Brettymike Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Well , from 1:25 - 2:00 at least sounded like a pile of aborted dogshit done by a bad piano player - or definitely bad on that day at least. I would use the CD to stop the rats from running along our telephone line , and that's about it. Even his audience knows somethings wrong. Hows that? .

Brettymike Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If you can't be true to YOURSELF , and hear what's obviously wrong - there's no hope. He fell flat on his face when the band chimed in live , and the wheels fell off his playing , and that's all there is to it. The song was supposed to go like this > .....but he tried something different and stuffed it up big time. (What the fork has a "supermodel wife" got to do with anything?? ). Here's another live version he hasn't destroyed on the day , and it's top notch (1000x better) and what he should have stuck to above > Get the (sound) picture folks?
