Kenny cooking on a DX7. Love listening to this, thanks for sharing!

He was in SD last week. I wanted to go but my FIL was in the hospital and I was stuck home with the kids. I am really bummed about it. Haunted by it being the idea that this was my last chance to see him. I had a dream where last night I got to hang with Herbie and he was saying some stuff about my playing and I got to ask him all kind of questions. I hope he comes around again soon.

Good point. I know some cats who are so married to their own ink that they become a drag when the form gets more fluid.

I will see if I can find the PDF online through google search. I will then probably make my own real chart because most of those leadsheets don't have the right form.

Yes neither of them actually played the parts 100% like the record. But it's more than fine baby.

I'm still in this boat too.

They're playing the Africa marimba part on piano but it's a GS1 right? They didn't double it on piano.

Today I learned they didn't cut that album on a Yamaha C7 which I had always assumed they had. And I had assumed they cut it at Westlake. Wrong again. Now I realized I was conflating Toto's involvement on Thriller (cut at Westlake) with the recording of Toto IV. And here I am considering myself a true fan. Thanks for sharing this.

Exactly this IMO. How you kick the tune off is essential. The rest is vibe and will depend on your rhythm section, particular clav sample and band mix. It IS important to play the right chords on the turnaround though.

I make detailed notated charts in finale and use my iPad. A ton of work up front but I'm fast at it and then I have the song ready to go for life.

This was Chris Botti's keyboard section in the early 2010s. Imagine having GK on 'aux' keys.

I love mine but only because it works great for my particular cover band situation.

That piano always seems to sit perfectly in a mix. It doesn't matter if it's 15 years old.

I've always loved this for the funky Tim Levebre bass line. I love the line and his overall style. And I love this for the subject matter. The corn dog bullet sash kills me.

Wow!!
