Adan Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I don't think Conte will be remembered for his keyboard playing, and I'm going to be a bit controversial and say I don't think he'll be remembered for his arrangements either -- they're clever and enjoyable, but not timeless. He'll definitely be remembered for being ahead of the curve in figuring out a formula to dominate YouTube. All good. He's better than 99% of the crap that's being created to draw clicks. 1 Quote Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niacin Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 And he provides a platform for Goldings and Scofield. He doesn’t need to play much with those guys on the bandstand. Just stay out of the way and in the pocket. 1 Quote Gig keys: Hammond SKpro, Korg Vox Continental, Crumar Mojo 61, Crumar Mojo Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Conte is one half of the music duo Pomplamoose, one of the two leaders of the collective Scary Pockets, and the founder and (I believe) CEO of Patreon. While Scary Pockets has collaborated with Larry Goldings, John Scofield, Robbin Ford, and others, I am unclear on their relationship with Hot Pockets. Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter.
