Dave Ferris Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 In a Sentimental Mood (Duke Ellington). Blowing over the first two A sections, melody on the bridge and out. On a super nice Fazioli 228 at Pierre's Fine Pianos a few weeks back. As always for best audio, listen with good phones or studio monitors. 8 Quote https://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris https://www.youtube.com/@daveferris2709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ferris Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I was in a mellow mode late last night on a cold, rainy night in LA.

Keyboardplayer Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Greetings. It's been a while since I've posted on Keyboard Corner after all the excitement died down from NAMM 2024. Anyway, I uploaded to SoundCloud a comprehensive list of solo instrument sounds from the Yamaha Genos in a live demonstration that includes basically every category of sounds including Pianos, Electric Pianos, Organs, Strings, Guitars, Basses, etc. At the very end, I include an actual song demonstration with a Funk Alto Sax from the Genos. Btw, I realize most members of Keyboard Corner use traditional workstations, digital pianos, and/or synthesizers, but there may be a few members here that might be interested in arranger keyboards. Yamaha recently released the Genos2, but I decided to hold off because it seems Yamaha took two steps forward and one step back with the Genos2, in my opinion. It's still an excellent option, but I'll wait until Yamaha comes out with a Genos3 which will hopefully be what the Genos2 should have been. But enough of that. The original Genos is still quite a powerhouse, and you can snag one in mint or excellent condition for thousands less than the Genos originally sold for just a few months ago before the Genos2 arrived on the scene. I've seen them priced as low as $2,500. They were selling new for $5,999.99. Thanks if you happen to have a listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been doing some shows in a small listening room/taproom in town where we play two short sets of our own music bookending a set backing up a different singer-songwriter and interpreting their original music. Then we've been bringing the guest artist back up for a cover as an encore. My collaborators were kind enough to entertain my love for musical theater so our friend Joe Gibson could let 'er rip on a number from Jesus Christ Superstar. I whiff the organ solo in the middle but otherwise, not bad for one rehearsal. That is so awesome, you guys killed it! And clearly had fun in the process. And it sounds like a really cool scene you have going on. Looking forward to the Pocket Bandits recordings! 1 Quote Turn up the speaker Hop, flop, squawk It's a keeper -Captain Beefheart, Ice Cream for Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.F.N. Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Blues-in-Gi-1.m4a Blues in Gi (Girona) - A covid lockdown improvisation (I was living in Girona, Spain, we were all locked in for 3-4 months), which in the end turned out to be a nice little blues. Drums, unknown loop randomly used for jamming. Recorded live with my phone in my room (!). Fretless bass and guitar by my friend, who did his part locked inside his home, I think in Garageband or Logic, thank Dogs for the internet! 😃 1 1 Quote "You live every day. You only die once."

Dave Ferris Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Trippy two hand pattern #2 based off a Minor Maj.7 structure.

Dave Ferris Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 About a month ago I was over at Faust-Harrison (formerly Keyboard Concepts) in Santa Monica and had the pleasure of sampling this luscious sounding Yamaha CF6.

Dave Ferris Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Al, thanks a lot. Yes I have a special place in my heart for Skylark. I've probably played a half dozen CF6s since they were released and this particular one was the nicest by far. So between this CF6 and the new CFX Concert grand I played at the Sherman Oaks location back in Dec., these two were easily the best Yamaha pianos I've ever played in my life. They both had a rich and really sweet tone to them. The new manager there at Santa Monica said they had just gotten this CF6 in to replace the one that was bought in Jan. by the great session / studio player Craig Doerge. A name I hadn't heard in awhile but did I ever listen to him a lot on all those records from the 70s.

SamuelBLupowitz Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Thrilled to release the debut track by my long-incubating (but only recently getting out and gigging) organ trio, Pocket Bandits. It's a little prog, a little fusion, a little funk, and a really exciting new challenge for me as a player (no vocals! Covering all the bass parts! Lots of melodic playing over weird changes both harmonically and metrically!). We're trying to get this band outside of our little hometown music scene as much as possible, and any streams, shares, plays, or engagement in general really, really helps. I appreciate the support of this community (and I know all y'all love some proggy Hammond and synth-heavy tracks). 1 4 Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast.

Dave Ferris Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 This is a little longer video then I usually do. It was around 1 AM the other night after futzing all day trying to get this iRig Pro Duo working with my DPA 4011s. It was working perfectly for awhile, I did a couple short test takes and it sounded good. But for whatever reason it stopped working and I was getting jittery/ distorted audio. So being super frustrated and tired I said F it, and went back to the iPhone 14 mics and made this take of the great Luiz Bonfa tune, "Gentle Rain". What an interruption in the creative flow and total groove killer messing with this tech stuff.

It's a fun tune, and, imho, a pretty killer band. We'll have some more videos from the same gig going online over the next few weeks/months. If you feel like it, hit the subscribe button on YT.
