don't get me wrong..I think those that work as above serve as a much more creative alternative to the deejay,
and I would like nothing better than to see the "kjay"
replace the deejay, because , to me, the vaunted
"creativity" attibuted to deejays is almost non-existent.
but, it's still not in the realm of those who use the
arranger kb to amplify an inherent musical skill..e.g,
a pianist who "adds" stuff from arrangements and a
palette of sounds.
