You might think the recording was done by a famous pop artist like Elton John or Billy Joel or perhaps an accomplished classical pianist like Vladimir Horowitz or Aurthur Rubenstein. The answer is more of a jazz fusion that happened in Koln, Germany in 1975. Watch
More on how the artist is fairing today and an interview from last year that stresses the musical genius of this performer.
I’ve read all these keyboard guys would actually rather play with each others organs.
Art Pepper did an LP with a busted up saxophone. The mouthpiece cork was split and half stuck to the mouthpiece (he couldn’t tune it), and the sax pads were all rotten and leaky.
He just worked through it and made an excellent LP.
The Genie was hard of hearing.
Do you think I really wanted a 12″ pianist.
Keith Jarrett was always on another plain from everyone else.
Fascinating. The abilities of true musicians astound me.
I once read a book by a former writer for Downbeat magazine who, years later, was talking to a big band leader. The conversation went something like this:
“I recently heard your recording of (whatever song it was ). It was much slower than I recall.”
“That’s because you are used to us hearing us playing it live. We probably never heard of the song until ten minutes before we recorded it.”
Years ago I worked for a radio station that put on a social function. A local band was hired, but their regular piano player was not available that night so they got someone from the local musicians’ union. To be honest, I thought he sounded like he had been playing with the band for years.
Impressive stuff.
Yes, but Taylor Swift —-
@Anon lol!
Someone please explain Taylor Swift’s crazy popularity to me!! Is she the Millennials’ Madonna?
I just…🤷♀️
Taylor Swift is a teenyboper idol, only her music is horrible. She’s an idiot with politics. BUT – she does now likes alpha males. Maybe there is hope for her.
taylor swift is obviously a deep state asset. like so many other “superstars”, she didn’t get there on talent
taylor swift is pop music’s bill gates! lol
Pretty much the only thing I hold against Toby Keith.
He and Scott Borchetta formed Big Machine Records and gave Not So Swift her big break.
