video upload by froady
Found on DVDBORN.
The keyboard he jams along to the Fairlight track is a Rhodes Chroma.

Yeah YouTube is absolutely amazing when you think about it. I've been able to see videos I never even knew existed of bands I used to listen to years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe synth he's playing is a Rhodes Chroma. I'll update the post.
Gotta love Herbie, man. He's one of my favs. He did a master class once when I was in school and played the most beautiful improvised piece on the grand - took one theme through like every style of music ever. Then imparted some serious knowledge about music and art and life. Told some great stories about Miles, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda funny how amused they are by the Fairlight. I wonder what Quincy is on...
why did the cameraman find it paradoxical that people of african descent can use synths?
ReplyDeleteAmazing Vid..I did find that question also a lil ignorant.
ReplyDeletei think its more a comment on the "soulfulness" of his playing being contrasted by the technology that was at that time considered quite "soul-less" .. computers and all of that still being mainly used by giant faceless corporations and science labs
ReplyDeleteseems a bit more ignorant to assume racism at the drop of a hat.. score one for knee-jerk morality
Yeti, keen use of nonexistant quotations. Fine, call me ignorant (even though I was pointing it out for the sake of humor). But you gotta admit it was oddly phrased. He didn't say anything about 'soulful' or 'soul-less'. He referred to "African blood" meeting "sophistication of electronics" as an unlikely union.
