jazzpiano88 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I should have added Teaser and the Firecat. The piano on Morning Has Broken was a huge influence when I was learning piano. 1 Quote J a z z P i a n o 8 8 -- Yamaha C7D Montage8 | CP300 | CP4 | SK1-73 | OB6 | Seven K8.2 | 3300 | CPSv.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Jean Michel Jarre. In a big way. Oh, and Billy Joel — the first "pop" music I learned to play. Ray Charles Medeski Martin & Wood, a decade later.

Legatoboy Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 early early on- from 5-15 : Dick Contino on Accordion in the late 50's Nat King Cole on piano (watched a lot of his TV show in the late 50's in rerun w/ my folks, I was mystified by Nat's mirror behind the piano keys - what a conundrum to figure out!) Errol Garner, - piano ( mostly early TV) Felix Cavaliere, B3 (All the Rascals albums, my bro/I had all of them) Al Kooper, B3 (Live Adventures of Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield Live in SF was the 1st LP I ever bought with my own $) Alan Price, Combo Organ (from the Animals w /Eric Burdon, my brother's album that I ruined) Classical Music (mostly listening, did not study classical piano until my 20's but studied Accordion and played piano/organ 2nd to Accordion initially by ear, there was a piano in the house in the shared basement so I was jumping on that and adjusting to it at about 12.) 2nds: Ray Charles European keyboard music or transcriptions ( Waltzs, Jigs, Polkas, Traditional, Popular etc. ) - I liked all that stuff as a kid pre Beatles! I'll be 69 in a few months ... And of course more modern Rock, Blues and Jazz as time moved on... I feel the real catalysts for me musically in terms of my musical make up were forged somewhere between the ages of 5 to 8 in a purely musical drive sense ...so I quoted the early stuff as honestly as possible. Trying to keep that little boy in me alive has actually gotten easier with time and regular tending to thankfully.... funny about that stuff in life, the good stuff, - shit happens there to .. if you keep yourself buoyant enough and have the luxury of the time to dig in a bit ...
