Oh boy, I can hear how the piano needs to be tuned again !

Brazilian Major Sample: Won't You Pick Up the Phone?

Old Friends...together for the first time...nearly forty years after their paths first crossed, a legendary group of old blues friends from Memphis and the Mississippi Delta finally gathered in a Chicago studio to record together for the only time. Not until 1979, at a prestigious Carnegie Hall concert in New York, did all five play together on the same stage, and it was 1980 before the quintet recorded as a unit.
“The music has the unforced feel of (Chicago’s) blues of the late 30s and 40s without once sounding anachronistic. The five musicians (playing as a quintet) share the vocal duties, providing striking contrasts. …All the material is original in the true sense, not just old blues with reshuffled lyrics and new titles, and the quintet interprets it with real conviction.”  – Manchester, England Evening News

Beneath The Surface

This was recorded to demo my new Low D Irish Flute made in Carbon Fiber.  I keep listening to it because it deeply relaxes me and entertains my soul. Thanks to Austrian composer Harald Peterstorfer and the combined work of engineer Rich Ruggles and Erik the flutemaker, we bring another great flute to the market.

Expansion - Nori Ubukata - Historic Synth Giants Vol 2: Keith Emerson Audio Demo

I am playing this on a dark brown hand carved bamboo flute and on a digital piano.( I played the digital piano arrangement and then sequenced it so I could play the bamboo flute (G major scale tuned) along with it).The bamboo flute was hand carved by Eric the Flute maker  http://www.eriktheflutemaker.com/index.htm , who used to be at the Renaissance Fair in NY which is where I purchased it. He actually makes saxophones out of bamboo ! The hardest thing for me to do was play this song when I only had the notes of the G major scale to work with on the bamboo flute.  I plan to play along with a classical guitarist or with a classical guitar sound on my Korg Krome, which is closer the original instrument it was written for ( I guess it was for a Lute guitar )

Renaissance Ballad Played On A Bamboo Flute And Keyboard Called "Spanish Ballad" .

After spending 10 hours transcribing "Red" by King C. , I tried playing it on a piano. Some of the parts seem to work with a piano . I can also hear how out of tune the piano is becoming. My drummer says that he knows the piece so we'll try it with my electric keyboards. I wonder what sounds will work when I play it with the guitarist and bassist ...
