I was in a little bar last night listening to a jazz trio. They did "Mercy Mercy Mercy" I believe recorded by the Buckinghams. It has sort of become a defacto jazz standard. Do any of you Yamaha users do that number and if you do what style do you use with it?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom. Yep, I frequently do this Josef Zawinul tune. In addition to the great Buckinighams version, I especially like Cannonball Adderley's original funky-jazz version: http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=2980132

I use the Tyros "Kool Shuffle" style at 95bpm.

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy ... Cannonball and Nat Adderley and Joe Zawinul (he played accordion as a kid) ...

here's a site for a midi file ... I don't know how a yammy works, but maybe you can convert the rhythm to a 'style' ...

Love it, love it, love it!
Blues/Rock or Soul, but I've even used some others as well, like a hiphop treatment.

I set my Music Finder to Soul.

I loved the Buddy Rich version.
