The more mature/gourmet side is involved in my be-bop & piano studies. Hopefully as I enter middleagedome I can find my way. I have been studying be-bop for a long long time now!

Legatoboy Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Delirium, Thank you man, I worked hard for years to develop a sound for that band.

Legatoboy Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Delirium, Kerry (The Kerry Kearney Band), was Marty Balin's (Jefferson Airplane's founder) lead guitarist for 5 years back in the late 80's & early 90's in Marty's solo band . I got to meet and play with alot of cool people through the KKB. We toured with the Allmans and they had toured extinsively before my entry with the Dicky Betts Band on the road for a few big California tours. We were/are LI/Brooklyn-NY based. I'm still in the band on a dotted line status right now! Kerry has alot of cool stories, like finding Nicky Hopkins face down in the road in an unusual San Francisco snowfall outside a recording studio in Marin county. Literally 'faced' and out 'cold'. He and his friend might of saved his life that morning! The next day. Nicky went to record some famous session in LA. Kerry's meeting w/Gerry Garcia.... Grace Slick/Paul Kantner's personalities. Etc etc. Kerry played a few Airplane tours also as lead guitarist. KKB is a cool band, musically and personally. The bass player was a roady for Cactus back in the 70's. Partied harty with Led Zepplin and Robert Plant etc.....and is a cousin by marriage to Carmin Appice, the famous rock drummer. That's a female drummer, believe it or not. Eileen Murphy. An ex Paratrooper in Desert Storm and a hard core drummer..... An interesting bunch of diverse personalities! I do miss it! The road changes! I have the other side of me, my studies and be-bop and Larry and the beauty of all that. I'm, very lucky to have had a pretty rich public musical life so far and a strong centered fairly private one!

wades_keys Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Nice, very nice. Great technique on the arpeggios in that piano break - guess the Jazz/bebop training is showing there?

Legatoboy Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks Wades_keys, Yes, the Jazz studies helped quit a bit. I grew up in the 60's really but I heard alot of Jazz as a young kid in the late 50' and liked it way before the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, so the Jazz is in me. When I decided to study jazz to be fair to my -self and my rock roots, I had to get over alot of preconceptions about my ear and emmerse myself in alot of music even I though was outdated or un-cool, even with the begginning of my childhood starting in the 50's having gone through the 60's/70's and all. I started piano studies late (at about 22).I studied accordian as a youngster not piano then right into R & R in the late 60's and 70's on Hammond Organ and later Pianos/RMI Piano and Mini-Moog and Rhodes and Wurlies. Jazz studies and really getting to know the instrument (Piano) like a jazz musician was the best thing that ever happened to me as a musician. I do play other musics as you see. Alot of Jazzers will never consider that. Some people will. It depends on your path I guess, like mine, I had alot of twists and turns! lb CP-50, YC 73, FP-80, PX5-S, NE-5d61, Kurzweil SP6, XK-3, CX-3, Hammond XK-3, Yamaha YUX Upright, '66 B3/Leslie 145/122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykeys Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hi Legatoboy - I guess I should call you Tony. I'm just catching up to this post. Nice chops. Tasty stuff. I like the whole band sound too. In the tune Steady Rollin Man, by any chance, is your riff at all influenced by Chuck Leavell's work in the Allman Brothers tune Southbound? I love Chuck Leavell's playing on Brothers and Sisters. I have a hard time playing like him, but it's my goal to eventually figure it out. What is the future of that KKB band? It sounds like you aren't playing with them any more. Anyway, just wanted to say, I like your playing. Regards.

Legatoboy Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 skykeys, hey man, thanks for the compliments. KKB is still going strong with Mark Mancini (no relation to Henry btw) on keys a very good player. The band is headed out on the Road alot now and there were some issues with my domestic scene. I'm still involved at this point on a "dotted line" basis. I left on fairly good terms. This has given me more time to get into my piano studies and home recording. I'm not lookiong for a gig right away other than pick up gigs and KKB and I may get back together at some point. I will probalbly play the bands 10 year anniversary shows. I love Chucks work quit a bit also. Funny thing when I was a kid of 15, I was playing alot like him witout every hearing him. After he joined the Allmans alot of people noticed that and said wow, Chuck Leavell sounds like Tony. I had minor local hero status back then (1968-1975. As a kid I knoew how much more he had under his belt than me as afar as being together, his mom was a piano teacher, I had a ways to go at that point. He's my senior by about 3 years so it could be the times we grew up in as keyboardists/pianists or maybe a deeper connection. I was actually going for Dick Sims organ sound from 451 Ocean Blouvard on Steady Rolling Man with that KKB session. I wasn't 100 successful with the Korg CX-3 and Motion Sound KBR-3D combination in the studio. The sound from my playing and feel didn't translate to the track or through my headphoines that day very well so it was an aproxomation of what I wanted. The piano solo was in fact Chuck Leavell influenced and also slides similiar to Leon Russel that I like but I had a latin thing that started to evolve as I played that take and I went with. In NY hear I have heard some very good South American and Cuban orchestras live and they influenced my playing so the piano solo was like that with those latin octaves going on! The RD700 (old) is good on the attack portion of the notes so that percussice piano solo worked in that recoding session for that tune. I use only Yamaha stage pianos now because of more sustain in the sample, P or CP series.

Legatoboy Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Skykeys, With Chuck, one signature thing he does and alot of other southern players do like Leon Russel is slide off the minor 3rd in certain was sometimes percussive sometimes more slur like: Key of C: figure example for Chucks sound: play Eb and G(above) slide off the Eb quickly and play the D and G percussivly it's like a percussive slur.......Hang the G down threw the figure... just keep doing that over and over till it makes sense! In C you can do it on Gb abd Bb and down to an F the same way....

skykeys Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 lb, Thanks very much for the info and tips. I'm going to cop Chuck's, (or is it your?) style one of these days. It's interesting; when you say you played like Chuck, my natural tendencies were to play "non standard" chords, ala Steely Dan, before I heard Steely Dan. I guess that's why I am so much of a Steely Dan/Donald Fagen fan. I was also heavily influenced by Keith Emerson and Tony Banks, - that classical/rock hybrid sound. But I am also very much of a Chuck Leavell fan, and I'm going to nail that style one of these days. I'm at work (supposedly) also, so I have to make this quick. I'm sure we'll stay in touch. Thanks again. This is very cool.

Legatoboy Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Donald is Amy Helm's (Levon's daughter (The Band)) stepfather now. She's singing on 'These Blues' and 'Build Me a Road' w/KKB on my home page. She was in KKB with us for about a year or so on the bigger gigs. Very Nice person. Even though she's 20 years younger than me I know know alot of guys have a slight crush on her with those vibrant blue eyes, including me. I could never ask her directly what it was like having Donald Fagen as her (step)farther, though I was dying too of course! She's in Olabelle now. I dig Donald's stuff very hard going way back to Pretzel Logic and the Royal Scam...... Early Dan was so cool....Aja. I made a mental note yesterday to pick up 'Morph the Cat'. . . . Rumor has it Walter Becker grew up in La Harve, an apartment building complex in the town next to the town I grew up in in Queens NY on the norht shore of LI. lb CP-50, YC 73, FP-80, PX5-S, NE-5d61, Kurzweil SP6, XK-3, CX-3, Hammond XK-3, Yamaha YUX Upright, '66 B3/Leslie 145/122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, that doesn't work so well. I assume you know the Tom Waits reference. Didn't know anything about Donald Fagen being Amy Helm's stepfather. I'll have to read up on it, and her. Too bad you didn't know Walter Becker. Similarly, I hung out for a while with Todd Rundgren's younger brother, Robin. Todd had already dropped out of Upper Darby High School and was in The Naz when I first met Robin - in 5th or 6th grade I think it was, so I never got to meet Todd.

I saw him in Manhatten on day on 48th street, the music block! I guess we like name dropping.
