He made a comment about playing electric keys and how he damaged this rhythm and bass thumb and how on the higher scale of the melody he can’t hear the music . Even today it’s better but not much.
Boy they talk about George Shearing being a good pianist and he was but Joe Sample was at the top of his field musically and probably the best ever . I certainly tried to copy him and my sister was a much better player than me but she hasn’t touched a key in 30 years.
John, you got a good technique, but that's what it is, what I want to hear and see you. Put swagger and slang on every note you play. Just don't play the piano, tell a story.
You can find that sound on Korg keyboards ready with the exact same effects. For example, for Korg Krome, it's the "Rock Lead" IIRC. So it's not a custom sound 😄
George "dukey" duke was a gift for all of us to enjoy he had open heart to help other musicians reach there goals u can hear and see how excited he is to show us his studio and explain what is this and that the sound of the rhodes by playing few notes sure sounds sweet .thanks G.D for opening up your studio and showing us were u made the beauitful music RIP G DUKE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don Freeman here. Spent a lot of time in the that studio working with Jeffrey Osborne and George as producer. I played keyboards and co-wrote “ Don’t You Get So Mad” with Jeffrey and Michael Sembello who played guitar on that track. We cut the basic tracks at The Complex in Culve😅City which was owned by Maurice White And George Massenberg. The next record I did with Jeff and George we cut basic tracks at Lion Share and did overdubs at George’s studio.
His piano style, timing and rhythm were above and beyond. What a talent he was. Rest easy Doc anyone who has heard you play knows how amazing you were and we are blessed to have clips like this to always remember you with and show others to your wonderful world of musicianship. Thank you for all you did for us all to hear, remember and cherish!
Every master throughout history has taken a simple theme and then embellished it with endless variety, imbued with a unique spirit, all the while making it seem effortless. All anyone else can hope to do is copy them and achieve a tiny fraction of their original organic improvisation. Thank you Dr. John!
This is extraordinary. By rights it shouldn't work. It's so understated it's almost funny. And at the same time it's completely captivating. They absolutely broke the mould when they made him.
