What a lovely band gentlemen! You must repeat this lineup in a new gig with a few years more playing under your belts, eh. [ ... even if just for me! ] -JW -
You have provided me with a jolt of enthusiasm for following my piano passion. I just ordered two of the learning resources that you reference. I now have the Dr, John Teaches series of books and videos. I also ordered the Jame Booker book that you mention. thank you.
As a beginner I have only just started grasping the idea of inversions and even though I don't understand it yet I have the idea that this video contains all the information i need in order to break open the mystery of piano. Ill be watching many times over! Thank you
A lot of the styles demonstrated here were solo piano concepts. When there was a band involved the bass player would usually double the lines of the pianist's left hand. Little else could be done, given how muddy opposing lines in the bass register can sound when played together. While in jazz it is considered impolite for the pianist to delve much into the bass player's domain, that isn't really the case with New Orleans rhythm and blues. Allen Toussaint, Professor Longhair, James Booker, Dr. John, Jon Cleary, and many others play(ed) with a very prominent left hand in band situations, similar to gospel pianists like Richard Tee in the band 'Stuff'.
Hands down the best presentation I’ve ever seen of this after the Dr John Homespun tapes. Awesome effortless playing. I am bowled over and am heading back to the woodshed
