Nice, Dennis. Yep, there's a lot of different ways to skin a cat!

Something I noticed on Black Nile was you tending to play the LH chords pretty 'four square' rather than syncopating them in more sparingly. Perhaps it's a trend from much arranger use, where the damn machine needs to see the chords on the one to know what to play (one reason I love the CS!), but most jazzers would tend to not lead those as much. But a great song and rendition...

This is one thing I try really hard to do, not letting arranger use become part of my general playing style. They ARE great live tools, and great at making quick roughs to polish into great SMF's, but they do tend to force us into playing completely differently to regular keyboard players. Staying vigilant is the key!

I'd love to hear more... live band, arranger, SMF, I don't care!

It's all good!
