Testrun: Mountain Dance (Dave Grusin) Posted by: ElectonePlayer
Video duration: 166 seconds Just a quick-and-dirty testrun in our new home, yet still using the old digital camera. An anything-but-perfect trial to interpret Dave Grusin's elegant number: A seem-to-be simple one but what a damned difficult beat!!! My trial to combine the sequencer with manual rhythm/drum-kit handling. The whole number is not completed yet. Still have to invest lots of time for it ;-) Related: electone, jazz Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

Hello SlapMyFunkyBass... thank you very much for your comments. Yes, you're right. It would sound better if the solo part were played on a piano. But I'd need 2 instruments then and jump over in the solo part... :-) The problem is nobody plays the bass then... *** g *** The Yamaha HS-8 I played has already the sampling technology (AWM), so it was actually also a real piano as well .. :-) Thank's again and thank's for coming over.
By: slapmyfunkybass. on 16 Sep 08, 19:18:27
great, love the solo... though if i had to make a suggestion, i think if you played it on a piano it would sound something else... great playing though
