What's the keyboard he's rifffing on? Something large and black and analog - Matrix12 maybe..?
What a cool video!
Since Youtube started I have seen so much awesome 'lost' footage.
Yeah YouTube is absolutely amazing when you think about it. I've been able to see videos I never even knew existed of bands I used to listen to years ago.
The synth he's playing is a Rhodes Chroma. I'll update the post.
Gotta love Herbie, man. He's one of my favs. He did a master class once when I was in school and played the most beautiful improvised piece on the grand - took one theme through like every style of music ever. Then imparted some serious knowledge about music and art and life. Told some great stories about Miles, too.
It's kinda funny how amused they are by the Fairlight. I wonder what Quincy is on...
Ah, thanks Matrix. Makes sense now - he's got an expander above it too. Sounds nice...
why did the cameraman find it paradoxical that people of african descent can use synths?
Amazing Vid..I did find that question also a lil ignorant.
i think its more a comment on the "soulfulness" of his playing being contrasted by the technology that was at that time considered quite "soul-less" .. computers and all of that still being mainly used by giant faceless corporations and science labs
seems a bit more ignorant to assume racism at the drop of a hat.. score one for knee-jerk morality
Yeti, keen use of nonexistant quotations. Fine, call me ignorant (even though I was pointing it out for the sake of humor). But you gotta admit it was oddly phrased. He didn't say anything about 'soulful' or 'soul-less'. He referred to "African blood" meeting "sophistication of electronics" as an unlikely union.
