Lets not forget that being a Good Arranger player requires being a scientist of sorts....being a Piano or Arranger Keyboard player is secondary to making lightning fast changes & navagting all over your KB....all tis while your being just a Piano player of sorts.
Playing piano is JUST THAT....
But... Playing an Arranger
KB is so much more.....and is a very unique artform that must be praticed constantly to be good at it. You must THINK LIKE A FULL BAND & that includes knowing what each instrument your playing at once can be capable of & playing it proficiently like THAT INSTRUMENT Should Be Played....
I see this Flaw in peoples playing all the time...eg: you dont play Brass like an Electric piano, etc.....this topic is very complicated and is very involed in many many aspects with just one answer NOT Acceptable...it needs to be disected and discussed piece by piece to be really explored corectly.....
Don't fool yourself Arranger KB Playing is
SERIOUS BUSINESS MY FRIENDS!!!
