What a coincidence. I was just listening to this. I was cruising Youtube for some creative ways to use my Crumar SEVEN (Rhodes/Wurli) and decided to key on George Duke. But...the answer to your question is.....NO! I think the whole concept of Jazz (free-form/improvisation/whatever-the-opposite-of-repetitive-is) is he polar opposite of the (typical) arranger approach to music.

Now George, whom I love, is not exactly avant-garde jazz but it's a loooong way from what you usually get from arranger players. Russ, given your background and ability, I'm supprised you'd even put this out there. I think you're just getting old and lazy smile smile. You play piano, vibes, guitar, organ, and bass (that I know about - there could be more smile ), so why would you want to play jazz on an arranger? Come-on man, take a Viagra and get back on that B3 smile. While you're at it, come on by and try out my SEVEN, I think you'll love it - all the good stuff about the Rhodes without the negatives. Talk to you soon.
