woodtus Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I saw Keith play several times. Always exciting. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamanczarek Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 One of the few Crimson songs to feature Piano. Here is Keith on Top of the Pops in 1970 with a guy named Greg singing. I think Tippett could have kept up with Emerson but Tippett Lake and Palmer wouldn't be as marketable. The album version which is longer and quite different.

jahfume Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Obit; https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/17/keith-tippett-obituary I swear I heard a piece of music on the radio one night which had Keith Tippett playing some tasty piano timbres behind David Bowie - think it was a live recording. Need to do some research on that! I bet piano tuners hated him! RIP Edit; According to The Complete David Bowie it must have been the American pianist Mike Garson who played on Bowie's Aladdin Sane LP ( Bowie wanted his own bit of jazz hipness after hearing Tippett's playing with Crimson.

Mark Schmieder Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 One of the greats. I wouldn't have known, if not for this posting. So many deaths gets blocked out by single-focused narratives that soak up all the news bandwidth. I've lost track of how many deaths of creative artists I have only found out about weeks later, due to the pandemic and related stuff dominating the airwaves.

Mark Schmieder Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I can think of no one who was a greater influence on my own playing.
