Redknife Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Cody Fry, Cory Wong, and the group Dynamo. Aside from the groove, horns, and other key parts I was struck by how well the simple SY77 riff cut through the mix: [video:youtube] Quote Chris Main gear: Yamaha C7, Kronos 2 88, Moog Sub 37, CK61, Kurzweil PC2x, Pearl epro, Mac/Logic/AUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docbop Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Being this is first day of Black History Month go back to the beginning of what became Jazz and Rock with some Jelly Roll Morton. You can hear the Afro-Cuban clave that moved in to New Orleans music and grew from there. [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuelBLupowitz Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've come really late to the party to the band Dawes, and have been completely knocked out. The star of the show is Taylor Goldsmith's unbelievable songwriting -- I think he is a lyrical genius, so down to earth but so direct and honest and smart, more comparable to someone like Stephen Sondheim than to most pop songwriters -- but they have a lot of tasty keyboard parts, especially since the arrival of Lee Pardini in the keyboard chair in 2016. Lee Pardini first caught my ear playing with Vulfpeck's Theo Katzman on his solo work, and I think he's magnificent, a player with a ton of chops who only ever plays exactly the part the song needs. I'm going deep into this band's 10+ year discography but I included a tune with some somewhat showy keys below. [video:youtube] Oh, fun fact: Taylor Goldsmith and drummer/background vocalist brother Griffin are the sons of Lenny Goldsmith, who sang in Tower of Power in the 80s. Pretty sure Lee Pardini is also the son of Chicago's Lou Pardini. Talk about a leg up. Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.

RABid Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Today I listened to two full CD's of Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Watch and Roaring Silence. Both have a lot of nice synth leads.

In a roundabout way (re: your fun facts), I consider Dawes a modern-day Toto. Not in style, of course, but that's more a function of their respective places in the timeline.

Docbop Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 For the classical fans some Petrushka played by Natalie Tenenbaum. I like how she got tired of the metronome click and create a drum track with Ableton to accompany her. She has a second video on how she made the Ableton track. Here's some Natalie....

SamuelBLupowitz Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Recently started digging into Jukebox the Ghost, a keys/drums/guitar trio that's been doing the touring thing since the mid-aughts. Cats who can play, who use their chops judiciously to make really infectious pop music. They particularly wear their Queen influence on their sleeve, but I think the thing that has impressed me the most is their approach to not having a bass player, which is... not having a bass player. As a keyboardist and a bassist, I put so much thought into how to make sure the role of the bass is always covered if there isn't a bassist -- separate keyboard for basslines, pedals for when the piano part requires two hands, maybe the guitar player can cover some stuff with an octave divider... these guys don't overthink it at all. They make sure somebody's covering the root and we get some low end. That seems to do it! Anyway, something bouncy and fun for your day. Also you can peep a bit of the keyboard player's slick Mainstage rig in one or two shots here. [video:youtube] Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.

Docbop Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Went back in time to the stuff my friends and I would listen to when hanging out. The early days of CTI records and is sub-lable KUDO records. A lot of great musicians and arrangements on those albums. Here's Grover Washington Jr I think first album on Kudo Inner City Blues. [video:youtube]https://youtu.be/wojBNCsEHQk Other stuff from then: [video:youtube] Another Kudo album with some killer bass playing by Gordon Edwards. This is one of my all time favorite songs.

Docbop Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Haven't listened to this in a long what a great record. With the cream of the crop of L.A. session players back then. Musicians then in L.A. didn't want to be Rock stars the goal was to become a studio musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
