Being removed from the GCE English Lit Syllabus might evoke a gulp.

NP: "Bedria" - Pharoah Sanders from "Journey to the One" (1980)

[Tenor Freak]

What, precisely, is the point of a keytar? I presume exactly the same auditory experience can be produced by a keyboard. Some of Lionel Loueke's guitar sounds were like a pale imitation of a piano too, I thought

One of his first was essentially a conventional keyboard (think it may have been a Sequential Circuits Prophet V) with a long leather belt attached. He must have had a strong neck because some of those keyboards weigh a bloody ton. As stated above, it gives keyboard players a chance to get up and move around a bit like their guitarist colleagues. Donald Fagen does much the same thing, though with a melodica.

Upon which he was shown duetting with Miles at the La Villette final concert - the machine reproducing Miles's Harmon mute effect in a hilarious parody which Miles appeared to take in good spirit.

After superb solos by Trane and McCoy, Trane takes the tune out with a tag ending which is so brilliant I wish it would never end........

The Hap'nin's – Gigi Gryce
with Mickey Roker, Richard Gene Williams, Richard Rylands & Reggie Workman
New Jazz (1960)

[cloughie]

Back to back I have just listened to albums by Tony Bennett/Diana Krall - an all Gershwin set, and Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga. At times TB in his 90s not always on the note, and LG also but LG overall handles the ‘American Songbook’ very well - I am not keen on her ‘day job’ pop output! DK mostly very good.
