Sadly this isn't on LP, but Herbie sometimes solo'd live on the Rhodes during the 70's. I was blown away the first time I heard his Rhodes solo on the live recording from 28th October 1973 (Ann Arbor, Michigan) - so I figured out what was going on a…

Nice to see the Sylvers in there, and the Counts! I was heartbroken when my first Sylvers I LP arrived in the post snapped in half... Finally I got hold of I, II & III all sealed.. and I keep the broken copy on my mantelpiece

+1 for Cutie Pie and all the other tracks mentioned here! I remember discovering One Way through Al Hudson's 'Spread Love' album (searching for what else he did) and then bought their entire discography

I've posted this in a separate thread but just in case there are people who haven't seen that, this qualifies for the new music thread: Thanks! Tom

This is one of the best ;)

I know I posted about this a while ago, but we'll be releasing some more original tracks over the remainder of 2014; in the meantime, our album is still available digitally and on CD from: http://www.resolution88.com/store/#!/~/product/category=0…

SPlDEY said:Gotta say TomO. Great video man. I'm constantly practicing other people's music too. You play with a group or something? - diego Thanks Diego - yes, I play with various groups whenever I get a call, here in Cambridge…

tuneup said:Great stuff. Did you assemble the backing track as well? Hi tuneup, I'm afraid I didn't - it would be impossible to get a backing track sounding as close to the original without going back and actually recording it real instrume…

Here are two suggestions for tracks with the same feel: (I've always thought this one was like a long-lost RAMP track, the keyboard player has a similar style to Philip Woo. I've got a spare copy if anybody's interested!) (…

Hey Raj, this reminded me that I did a summer soul mix a few years ago now - no surprises on there, but lots of fun to drive along to in the sunshine! DivShare File - SummerSoulMix_256.mp3 Cheers, Tom

Speaking of which, what's the going rate for an original of these on Nia? I'm thinking of posting in the wants section - after a few pieces like 'Shades of Love - Do Your Dance' too...

crabmongerfunk said:nice. what is your connection to don blackman? also, when are we going to be able to buy the TomO CD? Well, I got to meet Don quite a few years back at the Jazz Cafe, through the bass player for his UK band, Nick Cohen. I a…
-
Haha, yes that was me! Actually, I did two gigs with Don in the summer - that one and one at the Jazz Cafe. That video you posted is slightly too slow and I wasn't feeling the bass player's groove - my friend Nick played the Jazz Cafe and he nailed …

utters said:good work! shit, i'm embarrassed to say that I own a rhodes and it sits there largely unplayed do you know 'funny funk' by george duke, one of the best rhodes riffs of all time IMO. Suspended chords all over the place! You …

Raj, that's great that you've got a Rhodes - it's one of the purest, beautiful sounds we have available to make music with in my opinion! @ bigchalz I'm not in a specific band at the moment but I gig with mates around Cambridge (UK) and I'm tryin…

I've seen it, and I've got a copy somewhere - you need to contact the guy who actually made the film I seem to remember. It was very interesting - it had all sorts of bits of footage including Weldon going to the dog races. It came across as a very …
-
The flexidisc sometimes pops up - it came free with Downbeat so it shouldn't be too expensive. You could try www.euclidrecords.com and ask the guy if he has any copies - I got my first one from him a few years ago. If you can't wait to find a cop…

BruceGeetz said:Yeah, sorry if it sounded confusing, but I mean a full sized picture of the actual art, not a gatefold cover. That painting was done by Robert Springett who also did the artwork for Crossings and Thrust. You could see if you tr…

stratasphere said:There probably isn't one and if it is it would more than likely be an import. It's an album I enjoy as well. Some of it sounds similar to The Spook Who Sat By The Door soundtrack he scored but was never released when the film came …

Almond said:Nice work, Tom O! I can tell in the video that you're really enthusiastic about the music you play. How long did it take you to transcribe that piece? Hey thanks! I hope you enjoyed watching it too. Yes, I truly love this piece and…

crabmongerfunk said:damn are you ever are one talented and detail-oriented motherfucker. note-perfect. did you work it out by ear or did you have a transcription? I always do my own transcriptions for lots of reasons; it's nice to feel …

Okem said:Killing it as usual Tom. (you should post up your info/blurb bit about it from youtube as well. I enjoyed reading it) Thanks man, well here's the stuff from youtube as I wrote it: 'The first time I heard this section of Chamel…

They're not super rare, but they're good examples of what happens when a great, nay an all-time classic album is passed over or under-promoted by the label: Don Blackman - S/T on Arista / GRP RAMP - on Blue Thumb / ABC We had a Blue…

I hope your drummer's good! b/w Juice 'Catch A Groove' (and I'm still trying to find out whether it's actually Gary Bartz playing on that, or just a sax player that sounds just like him!'

Love both McGriff and McDuff, hell they even sit next to each other in my collection. I can't believe nobody's mentioned McDuff's version of Naima on his 'Life Every Voice And Sing' album on Jam - that is killer. I even like his Sugarhill stuff too,…

Strider79it said:TomO said:I ..Harvey Mason... The other thing about Harvey is that he pays so much attention to the timbre of his kit, tuning his toms much more than most. Check out 'Modaji' from his Marching In The Streets album to hear how son…

I can't believe that the first two posts on this mentioned my favourite drummer of all time, Harvey Mason. I know it's subjective and all, but you both need to listen to more of his playing - I think he is truly one of the funkiest, most stylish …
