It's funny really because when I first discovered arrangers when I was twenty something I was attracted to it because of the way I got inspired musically when I played ( having previously been guitarist ) . I was the exact opposite of the market arrangers were intended for . I was young could not stand jazz , waltzes , rhumbas , big band or polkas . I was aware of the stigma attached to these instruments . However I could not ignor the huge musical creative potential with these instruments . Especially if I had the skill to program my own drums , basses guitars and horns . The potential sold me .

The beauty in these instruments is getting close to the sound you imagine in your head quickly and intuitively . I am glad I did not let a stigma dissuade me from pursuing my musical journey with an arranger keyboard .
