Tyros Style: Pop Bossa1
Tyros Voice: Galaxy EP

Thanks to everyone for the nice words. Interestingly enough, I personally didn't feel it one of my better performances, but I do credit the clip for subsequently landing me a lucrative Dec holiday gig booking. On another note, after re-listening to the clip, notice that the guy who recorded it, paused the recording in the middle (as evidenced by the annoying glitch) and then picked it up again near the end of the song. - Scott

Scott, thanks for answering, i do play this in Bossanova as well as 16beat sometimes. You might feel it's not one of your best, but I like the authenticity, the groove, and the loose feel (room to breath) in your playing, good performance!

tye

Nicely done, Scott. And a well deserved round of applause.
Eddie

Well done Scott. Now, waiting for T2 songs
Chico

Thanks ScottYee.

I've always wanted to see a vid of one of your performances, and I was impressed. It may not be one of your best performances, but your professionalism and 'oneness' with the music is very evident and musical. Incidentally it sounded to me that there was another instrumentalist playing (I was sure there was someone hiding somewhere on the side), because it sounds like a guitarist is playing some melodic accomp. in addition to your e piano (some of the time they actually seemed to mildly conflict with each other?) Where is that sound coming from?

Thanks for sharing. I loved it. Do you have any more?

Regards,

Zalman

Eddie, Chico, Armando, and all others. Thanks for the nice comments.



Zalman. Thanks.



Zalman! Congratulations! you win the grand prize for observation. I was really beginning to wonder WHEN someone would finally NOTICE this. Indeed I included a guitarist with me on this gig. Though he's outside of the camera range, we was seated, & playing directly behind me. Because we had no chance to rehearse (last minute scheduling conflict), there was some difficulty in determining 'on the fly' whether he, I, or both of us, were to play melodic fills on this tune. One thing we must learn early in this biz, is that 'no matter what', you keep going, and don't let unexpected glitches throw you. The show 'must go on', and most of the time, the audience never notices. I think this video clip has effectively demonstrated this point, as considering all the other replies, you were the FIRST to point this out.

This leads me to an IMPORTANT point I'd like to make regarding live arranger keyboard performance. Here's what I've discovered. No matter how impressive our one man band arranger solo act may sound, the addition of even one other musician (or singer) in the act greatly enhances the audience's acceptance & appreciation of the act as a legitimate form of live acoustic music entertainment. There's a unique spontaneous musical exchange (energy) that occurs between musicians playing together which is absently missing in solo arranger kb performance. And it's this which separates a truly live band vs completely solo arranger keyboard performer, of which audiences (especially American audiences) have grown to expect in LIVE Band music entertainent.

Scott

Scott, I find the same thing is true when you take an additional singer along.

Kool, keep it up! T2!
