CaptainUnderpant Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So did anybody notice the way he keeps time with his feet? Two beats with the left foot and two beats with the right foot. Quite different......

16251 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I was introduced to him when he was with Mingus. I think I still have the Changes albums on vinyl.

jimkost2002 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Don was an amazing artist and an amazing person!

yannis D Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Incredible technique and a wonder how this guy did not have tenontitis problems! In his full octaves style, one can see that his hand is totaly solid and the movement comes from the full hand, not the wrist-Russian technique. Incredible pianist and a hell of a stylist. His work with Pepper Adams was pivotal, but i also like a lot his collaboration with Kip Harnahan Be grateful for what you've got - a Nord, a laptop and two hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Don Pullen killed on piano. Whoever dressed him like Punky Brewster deserved an azz whuppin'. In fairness to him, Crayola coordinated clothes were stylish in the 80s. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Jazz+ Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Don Pullen tapped a lot of L R L R in this video which makes more sense because L is closer to the left low bass notes on piano and beat 1 . L R L R is the opposite of the drum set foot technique which I am used to since I was a kid. Taking walks and tapping the left hand as your legs keep time is a great way to exercise and get left hand syncopation on auto pilot.

Jazz+ Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Of course Don Pullen was a B3 organ player so his feet are trained to tap all sorts of patterns. It's like he did a little dance, often times simply: LLLL , or LLRR, or LRLR , and other various patterns...
