New Andre 3000 album.  Yes he was a famous rapper in the past, but these days he seems to be more into playing flute and wind synth, and jamming with avant-garde jazz musos.   Lineup:

 

Andre - flutes, wind synth (likely a Roland Aerophone)

Nate Mercereau - guitar/guitar synth

Surya Botofasina - keyboards

Carlos Nino - percussion

 

 

 

Finally listened to this this morning while making breakfast. Really nice, plenty of beautiful synth textures. Nice meditative morning vibe.

 

Now on to this:

Woke up and had to get my Groove on.

 

 

The trombonist in my band just played a show in New Orleans where George Clinton was a guest onstage. I'm simultaneously proud as hell, and envious. He said it was a great experience.

Because E. Power Biggs should get way more love on a keyboard forum!

 

 

Biggs was the lead member of the holy trinity of Biggs, Anthony Newman and Virgil Fox. Newman's version of "Ride of the Valkyries" is a massive thing of beauty. Fox championed Bach handsomely and died a mere 6 months after his final tour with a big ol' Rogers touring organ. I got to see him, but his show was subdued, which I later understood after he died of cancer. A trooper to the last note.

Shameless (Love it more than Billy Joel's original).

I Played this for a couple years in a country rock band and it was pure joy working with the harmony on this piece.

I completely agree - thanks for the reminder. I have a lot of Biggs in my music collection: been listening to him since I was in high school. I got to see him in recital back in the early-mid-70s. Yes, by this time you could hear a few mistakes/flubbed notes, but it was still a cherished experience. I saw Virgil Fox at Radio City Music Hall in NYC doing his flamboyant bring-Bach-to-the-rock crowd thing.  Anthony Newman was on the same bill (a keyboard extravaganza), but he was on harpsichord doing some Brandenburg Concerto stuff. All legends!

Just a scheduled reminder that on both Spotify and Apple Music there is a playlist of songs composed, recorded and performed by your fellow forumites. Links to both in my sig - if you have stuff released on those platforms and aren't on the playlists yet, drop me a direct message :)

Something a bit interesting as they had their own custom instrument that became a big part of their live set, made so that the four of them could tour without extra musicians.  Made by their lead singer/founder and supposedly consisted of back to back pianos, a glockenspiel type device played with doorbell mechanisms, organ and synth (there's a chopped Odyssey and 2600 in the videos) all controlled by the piano keyboard plus an extra keyboard on the "bass" side.

Big Chief.  Professor Longhair. 
Josh’s great performance in the Vallente thread reminded me how much I used to listen to this.

Ive been on a Steve Morse Band and Dregs binge the past few weeks as I've had car trips to Reno and Monterey. Had this one on a few times in past few days.  That Bring Em Back Alive album has a magic sound and vibe that captures my imagination and blows me away every time.

I saw the Dregs at the Roxy in L.A., I think in the late 90’s with this lineup.  Changed my life.

Wow, the keyboards are actually forward in the mix! I've always loved this band... knew them from their primal/formative years as the Rock Ensemble at the University of Miami. Does anyone know what the paper on Mark's backside read? I could see Steve's "We'll do anything"...

EDIT:  Saw them in the late 70s…. LONG time ago!  Cruise Control, cool and insane!
