CrossRhodes Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Diggin' everyone of these live clips that have been dropping from the most recent Ndegeocello album. Just saw the guitarist, Jeff Parker, sitting in with Gerald Clayton at Sam's First here in L.A. Really fun to watch the interplay between he and Clayton, nice guy too. 1 1 Quote Jazz is the teacher, Funk is the preacher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When leaving the theater I saw Lorne Greene walking out just in front of me. After watching Bonanza on TV I was shocked to see how short Lorne Greene was. Later on I watched a interview with Michael Landon, during the interview it came up how short he was. He said on Bonanza all of them were short and it was like a daily competition on who put more lifts in there shoes to look taller. He if you watch the show all the time you can notice their heights changed all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he play tightly jumping his arms up and down like that? It's a rhetorical question, obviously, because he does do it. But I think it's quite unusual... EDIT: I just read his Wikipedia page. From "early life": "He learned to play the piano, and he played baritone horn in the high school marching band. He developed a lifelong fondness for table tennis." Not "he took piano lessons", but "he learned to play". But, I think, really, it must be the table tennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzpiano88 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hava Nagila. I can't count the number of times we played this for the celebration. We never knew if we were doing ok, other than the reaction, which was always great.

The band looks like it is in a coma except for Donald, who the camera starts covering at 1:40. He is literally doing Rhodes Piano Calisthenics. It could be in response to Walter doing Lead Vocals on the song, but I don't think so. He is nailing all of the accents and seems like he's having a great time. I love his windups hitting the chords like a Quisenberry submarine.

That's a Donald vocal, he must have lost his voice that night. But aside from that, I kinda think the audio for that vid might have come from a different night. Aside from the delay, which is hard to get past, there's a few places where Donald's body language doesn't match what I'm hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Walter isn't right, but to me it sort of works in a weird way. Who knows why he was asked to sing. As to the video/music sync, my ears/eyes show Donald's playing in perfect sync to the music from start to finish. If you have a time stamp range you think is off, please post it.

If you have a time stamp range you think is off, please post it. Well, there's 1:46 to 1:48. And around 2:02. Perhaps there's someone else playing either Rhodes or piano, or both. I don't see another keyboard player, but it's pretty dark on that stage. Re: Waka Jawaka - I like that record. I wonder if I still have my copy. I think that was the first time I heard a synth solo (Don Preston on MiniMoog) in a jazz (jazz-rock) context. A very good solo, I think. (According to THIS SITE, upon hearing Don's solo, Bob Moog said "You can't do that on a Moog!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpl1228 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Ethereal and haunting. Anyone who's seen the movie remembers this soundtrack. The emptiness of 80's rich kid L.A.: the opposite of the John Hughes Chicago North Shore family bonding. Newman really shows it here, esp. in the first couple of minutes.
